@foone @ann3nova that reminds me that I wanted to add a "pronounce" field next to the "pronouns" field in my profile

[foone@digipres.club]

@skaverat @ann3nova that's a good idea. I should at least add that to my wiki

@foone i changed my name in 1984 to a "one name" format.

since 2000, i have had to invent a "first name" to satisfy computers and other folks who can't comprehend a person who has only one name.

@HybridElephant yeah, I worried about the same problems when I changed my name! I have a "lastname" just because I have to, my name is actually just "foone"

@foone Wisconsin allows non-binary "X" gender markers on driver's licenses. Super uncommon and annoying to get, but technically possible.

The card will come with the correct letter on it.

But the temporary license they print for you there, which appears to have an image preview of your new card, is incapable of having an X so will show (presumably) whatever letter used to be there.

!!!

Not quite as good as front not matching back, but still pretty wild.

@Specialist_Being_677 huh, wild!
