  There’s a quote that came from ICQ’s heyday:

  “The Internet: where men are men, women are men, and little girls are FBI agents.”

    We need to revise that for Lemmy.

    “Lemmy: Where men are men, and men are women, and women are men, and I think we’ve got a few women who were born women, and also there’s a whole bunch of new genders as well, and no genders at all, and that’s all cool with most of us.”

    It’s a mouthful and might not read well on a t-shirt, but we can workshop it.

      What was this from? I know the reference but can’t place it. I could obviously search for it but, hey, I’m trying to be social here.
