It's for anyone whose genders (or lack thereof) aren't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and the results are useful in academia, business, and self-advocacy.
Money can't buy happiness.
Money can only buy copper-bottom cauldrons, the remains of an entire cave's population of plague bats, accelerant, secret herbs from cursed cracks in the earth, recipes for plague bat extract, and a map of where your enemies refill their drinking flasks.
So.
The anarchists never have claimed that liberty will bring perfection; they simply say that its results are vastly preferable to those that follow authority.

"This issue is written by & about transgender and nonbinary members of the speculative fiction community. We have always been here. Trans and enby people have always existed, because it is a human state of being, & we have always had speculative dreams." http://strangehorizons.com/non-fiction/azimuth/strange-horizons-presents-our-trans-nonbinary-special-issue/

The most important part of any fictional-religion worldbuilding is "what's this religion's equivalent of VeggieTales, and/or Left Behind?"

Data sharing is for everyone, ya’ll!
Why did anyone think it’s OK to let a company track you by name even if it’s for convenience? Let alone on a secret base? Get a damn stop watch and learn how to check your pulse
Feels good to draw some fuzzy, fangly monsters. And Devilman provides that in spades. Done with ink brush traditionally and colored in Photoshop. #mastodonart #mastoart #creativetoots #fanart #devilman #Amon https://mastodon.art/media/AmYxiTPrjhVtIQE04lE
"...because a living being may die, it is necessary to care for that being so that it may live. Only under conditions in which the loss would matter does the value of the life appear. Thus, grievability is a presupposition for the life that matters." https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/2339-judith-butler-precariousness-and-grievability-when-is-life-grievable
Butler: "What disposition, then, allows us to establish the anticipatory powers of regret and remorse such that our present and future actions might forstall a future we will come to lament?"
"In Greek tragedy lament seems to follow rage and is usually belated but sometimes there is a chorus, some anonymous group of people gathering and chanting in the face of propulsive rage who lament in advance, mourning, as soon as they see it coming." (Butler, 2016, EGS lecture)
