Transphobia 

I'm doing payroll excercises, and one of our fictional employees is accidentally trans (Her sample social security number does not match her gender) and there's literally no way to change that in the program.

The program will gleefully let you create infinite recursion that causes it to crash without as much as a warning, but it won't let you change gender. This is how you know it was programmed by cis people.

@Owlor "I may not know why this software crashes on launch a fifth of the time or why our error logs keep filling up with the letter 'K' or even what a 'type mismatch' is, but I know that there are $0002 genders and you can tell them apart by one of a string of digits the government picked for them years ago!" *types confidently, not even forgetting the semicolon this time*
