Unhip

 Applying for grants and other applications – everything inclusive AS IT SHOULD BE, there were a couple of ponderables along the lines.

 In the section – are you from a historically un or under represented group. Now, everyone deserves to be heard and respected for who they are and where they desire to be met. However, by the time I got to the end of a fairly long list of selections, I was annoyed. So at the last square that said –

 

☐ Other

 

I checked it and wrote – you know who no one listens to? Old women.

 

So there.

 

Another section that was its own environment was the gender questionnaire.

 

Again, everyone deserves to be respected for who they are and how they wish to be met.

 

Again, a fairly long list and I hoped it was being used for respect and not some nefarious purpose.

 

I came to one selection that I had to google to decipher. While I mocked myself for being out of touch, I wondered if this list needed an extra square.

 

☐ Other

☐ I’m not sure.

 

I used to be hip. Now I’m just careful not to break one.
