Yesterday, while booking hostels with L in the morning for our recess week trip to Vietnam & Cambodia, one of the hostel sites asked me for my gender. The options were "Male", "Female", or "Male and Female".
For a moment, I blanked and thought, "Oh my god, Cambodia is shockingly progressive with gender identity. How delightful!"
And then I realized that the "Male and Female" option is representative of a mixed group of guests staying at the hostel, since we'd marked "3 guests", rather than indicative of an individual gender identity.
Ah, well. I suppose I was hoping for too much. One of these days I will be pleasantly surprised.
