I am not any less confused by some of this than you are.
If someone tells me they are "non-binary", then clearly they must be analog, and I proceed accordingly, usually by exiting stage left, in order to keep myself out of trouble. I'm not going to even try to read their levels trying to figure out what the gauges are reading. It's just not that important to me to figure out where they sit in the Battle of the Sexes if they can't just come right out and declare a major. I'll just think of them as the old SNL character "Pat".
I commiserate with your posting troubles, and note that in my reply here, at least for now before it's posted, the part of your reply I quoted is nested within TWO quote boxes when there should be only one. I've been unable to get to the index page myself for a couple days now - I keep getting a server SQL error that seems not to be troubling anyone else, so I dunno if it's a browser problem or an operating system problem on my end. All I DO know is that it's making site navigation a chore for me.
That's also why I've not been in the shoutbox - I can't get to it.
To get here this evening, I had to enter through the portal, search through ETM's threads, and find the one that rang a bell.
