Outrage has become a hobby.

Sadly, a huge fraction of folks are knee jerk sympathetic towards those expressing the outrage of the month because there seems to be some kind of cultural contest re. "who can show greater compassion". So we've got a bunch of people exploring this new hobby that gets them lots of attention, and they're doing it in a see of enablers. However, in one of life's little ironies, these excesses of "compassion" often cause long term harm because it can so easily suck the moxie and tenacity out of those experiencing some temporary trial that they should have overcame themselves.

Back to the birth certificate. Maybe instead of "Gender" we can put check boxes for "Inny" and "Outy". But we could do it in pencil in case the parents are especially, ah, progressive.
