Fun with vaccine registration!

[JohnFreeman]

I registered online for a booster yesterday, and I noticed that the form has mandatory fields for Race and Ethnicity. It's the same goofy fields that you'll see on firearms paperwork, with the same strange selections ( "hispanic", "non hispanic") etc.

Since it's obvious that the clerk at CVS could give a rats ass about my ethnicity, I chose to identify as "native america/Alaskan" and "hispanic" or some similar nonsense just to throw a crowbar into the invasive machinery of government.

You might want to also!

but how many choices did it give you for gender?

regarding these situations, for several years now, i have identified as an AA 38 year old female.
well, Beyonce just turned 40, so i am younger than her.

Only two, but the question was "Sex assigned at birth" , which does tend to narrow the possible choices.

Careful checking all of those boxes, you might end up getting a scholarship.

hey man, since the started adding all the boxes, i can check white, native, AND hispanic/latino.
technically... that's how things worked 400+ years ago, i think?

where i work we had a similar set of revisions go live today - no more talking about gender at birth for trans people, just sex that was assigned. also, no more making sure the gender they identify as matches their ID
