Yay!
>> I stunned someone at a restaurant years ago, when my son was at the "point and ask" stage. Asked (loudly, of course) if the person at the next table was a boy or a girl, I glanced over and responded "I don't know, sweetie. But it really doesn't matter. They look nice, don't you think?" I got the most astonished look and smile, followed by a whispered "thank you". <<
Well done.

Good for you.
I don't care much about other people's genders, although diversity does make me happy. Bit more of a concern now that people are getting militant about pronouns, which is not something I'm into.
