I first saw this image in July 2023, probably posted on Fedi by someone, so it's older than that.
I searched for the actual pin a few months later, and it was available on one Etsy store.
Most likely this one (now sold out):

Same seller, not on Etsy:

There are many other pins on Etsy today (with the same slogan) but not this exact one.
Amen
@franciswashere Sorry, you only get one answer for free. If you want to learn more about gender, I recommend one or more of:
* check if your local university or community college has a gender studies course
* ask your local public librarian to recommend a gender studies textbook
* check out a Wikipedia article or two and in particular follow links from the reference list at the bottom
Good luck with your quest for intellectual enlightenment and have a fantastic day!
@franciswashere In my lived experience: one. I can not speak for other people's gender, and neither should anyone else.
And the government has no business whatsoever in its citizens' undies.
@franciswashere There's no objective answer. It's like asking how many colours there are. It depends who you ask, and what they consider to be discrete 'colours'. What we do know is this:
Gender is neurological. It is not bound to biological sex. Consequently, it is also not as simple or limited. A person might experience different gender identities over a lifetime, though statistically most will not. That might include GI other than what they assess as 'male' or 'female'.
@franciswashere Gender Identity.
I didn't like using the abbreviation, either, but in text-limited forums, sometimes one has to save space where they can.
