LGBTQIA2S+ Defined, Coming Out as X, Pronouns are Aero and Smith, My Malfunctioning Liver

"Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why to buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" here's an update for you. Nowadays, 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig to get a little sausage!"

Back home again in Indiana, cue Jim Neighbors; it’s 6:56 a.m. mountain time; I struggle my first day back east to get acclimated to the time change.  I slept tremendously; I let my body dictate my sleep time.

We worked at our mountain house until 11:30; our black car picked us up. Our dog sitter for this trip, Josie, showed up with her pup and will stay while we spend time in Indiana.

We arrived at the airport, got some lunch, did some work, and boarded our plane at about 3:15; we had a pleasant flight and got our first alcoholic drink in 2 years. The airlines are slowly bringing back booze. I had a Jack and Coke Zero; my bride had a Vodka Soda.

We landed and got an UBER home; we arrived at 6:00 M.T., or 8:00 M.T., and watched a movie before heading to bed.  My wife is heading to the office; I’m working from home, leading to Beautiful Parker City tomorrow.

I heard the news that they will now offer an X gender on passports. I don’t know what that means, so I gave it a “Goog.”  According to Wiki: “X-gender is a common transgender identity that isn't female or male.[2] The word X-gender is used in Japan in the same way that genderqueer and nonbinary are used in English. According to a 2019 online survey conducted by the Japan LGBT Research Institute, 8,700 out of 348,000 respondents aged 20 to 69 identified themselves as X-genders.

So, in addition to men and women (what is a woman?), we now have a neither. Ok, that’s a little odd, but I understand a small percentage of the population was misidentified by their creator; they now have an option to X out. Here's a question, which bathroom does an X use? Can they pick?  I sometimes use the women’s restroom when it’s a private room if the men’s is busy.  Am I an X?

Another thing I’ve noticed is they are adding letters to the LGTBQ letters. As of today, the new way to say LGTBQ is lgbtqia2s+. What do those letters represent? Well, again, I turn “Goog” for some answers, and here is what I found:

-Lesbian: A woman who is attracted to other women

-Gay: Refers to a man attracted to other men; this term is also used for anyone attracted to another person with the same gender identity.

-Bisexual: Refers to a person who is attracted to both men and women

-Transgender: Refers to a person whose gender identity (the sense of gender that every person feels inside) or gender expression is different from the sex assigned to them at birth.

-Queer: An umbrella term sometimes used to refer to a person whose attraction and identity go beyond the traditional definitions associated with sexual orientation and gender identity. Different people use this term to mean other things.

-Questioning: Refers to a person who is questioning their sexual orientation or gender identity

-Intersex: Refers to a person whose sexual anatomy or chromosomes do not fit with the traditional markers of “female” or “male.”

-Pansexual: Refers to a person who is sexually or emotionally attracted to people of any sex or gender identity.

-2-Spirit: A tradition in many First Nations that considers sexual minorities to have both male and female spirits

-Asexual: Refers to a person who does not identify with any sexual orientation

-Ally: A straight and cisgender person who supports equality for all.

I think they will have to add an X to the list, and then for good measure, I would like to add my initials or @ to the mix.  Using this definition list, I would say I’m an Ally. I don’t care what you identify as; be kind.

On day 36 of the Russia/Ukraine war, I still don’t know what is happening. The media slant is that Russia is the bad guy, but some sources claim there are some evil people in Ukraine; I am very suspect of any news these days. Who is to say what is good? Who is to say what is bad?

It's interesting to see people online become foreign policy experts overnight. I also enjoy the virtue signal of the Ukrainian flag on various profiles. Why is this war getting all the attention when wars are being fought all over the globe? What is so important about this one? I don’t know, and the faraway war is out of my control; I’ll focus on things within my control.  I pray for peace, but that is up to something bigger than myself.

According to my Ground News app, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge rose 5.4% in March, the highest since 1983. Do you believe it? I think this one has merit; it cost me $85.00 to fill up my tank the other day; energy is more expensive. The cost of a six-pack of craft beer has risen almost $2.00 in the past couple of months. The reason is the can shortage, but if you talk to a person in government, they will blame the business community for being “greedy.” Who’s to say what is good? Who’s to say what is evil?

It's the last day of March; tomorrow, you can prank your friends and enemies. A quarter of the year has passed; how would you rate your first three months. I’m going to give my wife and myself an A-. Our company is growing, as is our family; we took three vacations and split time between homes. One month in the Midwest, two months in the West. I think that a good balance for our life. Q2 should be an A+ if we can accomplish all the goals on our to-do sheet.

A little of this, a little of that, happy to be back in Indiana, but it’s cold here. It was warmer in CO; it’s the opposite of what most people think. I hope you learned a little about the X. I hope you understood the significance of all the letters now strung together to allow people that don’t identify as a man or woman (what is a woman?) to feel their presence is understood. Again, I don’t care how you identify, but I love that I can identify as anything I choose. Today I’m a Dude that Looks Like a Lady; my name is Viv. My pronouns are Aero and Smith, and my color is tan due to the malfunction of my liver. Cheers.
