I have a buddy who has lived in the US, several countries across the EU, New Zealand and Latin America. The gender thing is only a big deal in USA. Other countries do have some issues with how people are preferred to be called but it's not a big deal according to him. Not trying to attack or anything, just telling stuff I heard.

On the other side, I'm fairly new to the Feddiverse and I would love to hear more about other countries, I think USA people take over the internet really fast
