Just give every kid a serial number... a number is gender-neutral but I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that an academic somewhere might find bias in numbers too.

Reminds me of a trip I took to Ireland some time after the mad-cow disease thing forced farmers to destroy their cattle. I visited a farm and all the cows had number tags on their ears. The farmer told me that after having destroyed his former herd, he no longer called his cows by name; it was too emotionally difficult.

The totalitarian instinct is to kill off everything loving and empathetic within us. We can't even love our God-given gender, which is the Second Gift given us by Him after the First Gift, which is being made in His image as a child of God.

And that's why the totalitarians need to be smacked down and smacked down hard.

They do that here too. You can buy the tags at Tractor Supply. They are on a peg board in numerical order, 1-99.

Was talking to an old farmer there one day who asked why there were no #17 tags on the peg. I told him "they had to retire that number. She was a really great cow."

Discovered farmers have no sense of humor about such things.
