Inclusivity is good and all but really? 31 genders? A lot of these are repetitions of the exact same thing in slightly different words
Now I want ice cream

Yeah wouldn't cross-dressing strike both drag queen and king off the list?

This is getting out of hand. I can't believe they have butch as a recognized gender. I think I'm just going to yell "hey butch" to all masculine looking women from now on. Hey, how am I supposed to know which of the 31 genders you are? Its no different than if I say hey man to get someone's attention.

Apparently gay theatre culture isnt a subculture at all, but in fact a subgender trinary. Has been all along. Why didn't they tell us?

I demand they change the LGTBQ acronym into a 31 letter all inclusive joke. If they need a bigger door on all those university offices to fit the sign i say we start making bigger doors. All this time i have failed to acknowledge gender-gifted people, whatever the fuck that is. Actually having someone who knows what all those letters are is a job now, you can be a diversity specialist and go around advising people how prejudiced they are for not knowing gender bender is a real term.

Gender bender was on there too?
At 31 letters were going to have to start skimming from the Greek alphabet. My favorite Greek letter is "Xi", so I'm whatever that is

Out of the 31 choices, I'm still have a problem placing p.naut in one. It's a toss up between androgynous and butch.

This is fucking ridiculous.
Look I'm not taking the time to learn all this shit or adjust what I view people as. Whatever sex I knew you as pre (COMPLETE) transition, you are forever that sex. End of story.
Gender Bender is both 8 and 28. Wtf? Edit: N/m on the actual PDF 28 is "Gender Blender".

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

but it isn't, they aren't repetitions...each of those titles have either a cultural background to them like Hijra and two spirit or represent a variation of gender expression and gender identity. Non binary people have little to no recognition, I applaud NYC for this.

Not really, drag is a performance art whereas crossdressing is usually done in privacy or in other words its specific to the individual and they aren't publicly performing on a stage. Now you could say the act of drag is cross dressing but they aren't limited to just being labeled cross dressers because of the performance aspect. There in lies the difference. There are full time 24/7 professional drag queens and an entire culture surrounding it, so I think it being recognized officially makes total sense.

This must be a misinterpretation. There is no way they included that into the actual law. It's a silly joke of a law if so. It probably wont last the courts very long if it's real, too many frivolous lawsuits.

My impression is that drag queen is a specifically gay male thing and refers to a certain kind of performance of gender, and same for drag kings as a gay female thing, whereas cross dressing is more general but more often applied to straight men who like to have the occasional girls night.
I'm pretty sure "MTF" and "male to female" are not distinct identities, though.
