This business of consciously working hard to do the right thing in an unfamiliar situation, and getting treated as an enemy over simple mistakes? But every time I start to gripe to myself about the work, I remember how much easier I have it than the people I'm talking about.
Besides, "biologically male" is way more confusing than MAAB(*). Jargon can actually be easier.
(*)Male Assigned At Birth. It means that the delivery room doctor put "male" on the birth certificate.

Would warped allen wrenches suffice?

For you or Kugai? Only one of you has been trying to corner the unmelted lugwrench market.

That's very noble of you, but it doesn't actually invalidate your experience. As the meme goes, if you aren't allowed to be upset because someone has it worse than you, logically you aren't allowed to be happy because, somewhere, someone has it better than you.
I'm not disagreeing over the technical terms. My disagreement, and I should have specified that, is with "relatively quick and easy." Only compared to mastering the piano, or getting pilot's license.
The fact is that the jargon tends to be rather recursive packaging of difficult concepts. It's great when dealing with people who are familiar with the concepts, because they really don't need you unpack all of that stuff, anyway. But outside that context, it is (to use another of my least favorite words) problematic.
(Though, that one is on my shit list because it seems to mean different things to different people. Here I mean "constituting or presenting a problem.")

For me of course. No more unmelted Lugwrench's. I cornered the market long ago and they all get shipped to a garage in Buffalo next to the souls.
