How much? 69, see. And the gas? Can I ask what pronouns you go by? What pronouns would that be? It's 2023, so... What business is it of yours? What my gender is? Frendo? Well, I need to go to a genderqueer protest. A genderqueer protest? Yes, sir. What time do you protest? Well, it starts now. No, it's not a time. What time do you protest? Generally around dark. At dark? How many genders are there? Sir? You're a big thug, Franja. I said how many genders are there? Somewhere around 930? I'd say around 930. Are you mentally ill? Why would you be saying that? You'd get cancelled. Don't give a shit. Well, I got to go. You live in that house on the back? Yes, I do. You lived here all your life? This is my trans wife's place. Originally. I'm married a dude.
