The lack of a gender icon just makes this FML better.

You should have adopted your best Admiral Akbar voice and said, "It's a trap!" Then you still called their gender impossible to determine, but at least you called them pretty as ****.

in this situation I probably wouldn't have started to make the comment on what gender they were. I would have just politely told my child that it is rude to ask if someone is a man or woman and that it can hurt people's feelings. children can usually understand that something is rude when you explain that it can hurt someone. then I would ask my child to think about how they would feel if someone called them by the opposite gender.

Hermaphrodite. That's what I refer to it as when I can't tell.
