I agree , you can choose a different gender later in life , but when you are an infant you are born a specific way . Infants can ' t decide in their head if they are a male or a female , that ' s just silly . <| sep |> I ' d like this tax more if it was implemented in a similar way to how London UK did it . If you live outside Central London , you needed to buy a pass to drive on Central London ' s roads . In a similar way have outsiders who don ' t pay citymunicipal taxes here pay for using and maintaining our roads . <| sep |> I also got bumped like that by a car once and it happened because the driver was only looking for oncoming traffic before turning . She didn ' t see me on the sidewalk coming from the other directions . Thankfully I was unhurt but since then I try to make eye contact with the driver in that type of scenario . If they simply never look then I ' m now applying all of my situational awareness . More than once , I ' ve paused before going because I would see a gap in traffic coming and wouldn ' t you know it the person slams on the gas to squeeze in . I ' m so thankful every time I don ' t get run over in those situations . I know that they are technically in the wrong when doing that . but I ' d rather not be dead .
