I worked with a woman with a gender-neutral name that you really couldn't tell was female until you were around her for a day or two and picked up on things. You could always tell who was struggling to figure it out because they would avoid all references to "he" or "she".

That's the thing this one is very obvious female, and dresses to accentuate the fact. She even does some female cosplay when DragonCon is in town.

Hungarian is so much easier than English. Personal pronouns have no gender.

Now, if you were born with the markers that make you female, and want to be identified as male, as long as you act/dress the part I'm good with calling you he/him. Other way around as well.

if you want to be identified as "they" I'm good with that as well as long as you either 1) have active multiple personalities or 2) have mastered cell splitting to the point where you can replicate yourself into multiple forms.

But we have a perfectly good word in the language for someone that is not a he or she and I'm happy to call you "it", but using "they" in an improper context is offensive to me so I'm not going to use it. So it's either it or she, but I'm not going to call you they.

Those of us with DID prefer the term "We." It makes us feel regal.

Some hot summer days, I kinda wish I tinted my car windows... but some cold winter nights, I'm glad I don't have any tints on my car windows.

You know Toyota already had the idea back in the 80's with the glass roof but it never made into production to this day while the other stuff did.

Did Subaru steal that concept design and called it "Alcyone"?

My wife's RVR had the panaramic roof. There was also a 1950 Ford where about 70% of the roof was glass.

A guy I know has a 50 year anniversary Vette with 2 tops, a solid and a glass one. He broke the solid one and only has the glass one now. It totally sucks in his car if the sun is out.

My dad had one of the Fords for a brief period. I don't rember much about it other than it got freakin hot. The glass was heavily tinted but there was nothing to pull across it to shut it right down. It was cool to watch the rain go across it when moving though.

LOL! This came out around the same time.

Actually if you think about it during every era all the Japanese cars regardless of brand looked pretty much the same. All the designers must have hung out at the same izakaya every night after work.
