Genders
When it comes to genders, there are:
1. Mental genders (some say as many as 22 mental genders exist).
2. Physical genders – only 2 physical genders exist, male and female, determined at birth, and both physically and scientifically NOT interchangeable.
Important Differences of Physical Genders:
1. Physical Differences and Impacts:
A. Physical males have 40% more muscle mass than physical females due to the amount of body space given to reproduction for a physical female. This matters greatly for fair sports competition. Therefore, physical males should never participate in Women's sports. Mental gender is irrelevant. Physical males, whatever their mental gender, can still play sports. Just play sports organized by their physical gender.
B. For privacy, modesty, and female safety/protection reasons, physical males should also never use women's locker rooms nor women's public bathrooms. Mental gender is irrelevant.
2. Medical health.
A. Physical males have prostates and by a certain age should have regular prostate exams to check for cancer. Mental gender is irrelevant.
B. Physical females have breasts, ovaries, uterus, cervix, each requiring regular medical health screening by a certain age, and/or medical problems unique to physical females. Mental gender is irrelevant.
C. In getting a person pregnant, physical males and physical females have different roles to be successful. Mental gender is irrelevant.
D. Pregnancy and child birth can only be experienced by physical females. Mental gender is irrelevant.
E. Periods, menstruation, and hot flashes are only experienced by physical females. Mental gender is irrelevant.

Hot Water Tanks Energy Consumption
Concerned about climate change? A home's hot water tank(s) is normally second (to heating and air conditioning) in a home's total energy consumption. How many of you leave your hot water tanks running all day and night? Gigantic waste of energy and expense if you do. Put timers on your hot water tanks and set them to run for only the times you generally use hot water. Keep in mind that even when off, a hot water tank, especially if well insulated, will keep its water hot for hours when not in much usage. Also, is your hot water too hot for your hands and body when you use it so that you have to mix it with some cold water? If yes, then lower your hot water tank's temperature. These are normally preset to 140 degrees. Turn it down to 120 degrees or less.
When you go on vacation or business trips, do you turn your hot water tanks off for the entire period that you are away? If not, what a waste of energy and money!! For electric hot water tanks, just turn off its circuit breaker when you are away, then turn it on when you return and change the time on the timer to the correct time (I usually leave myself a note to do that where I will see it when I return. Note - I am not familiar with gas hot water tanks so you may need to handle it differently.
Finally, hot water tanks may eventually leak water. That can be a real disaster when you return. Have a shut off valve installed on the water intake of your hot water tank. When away, turn that valve off, then turn it back on when you return (I also leave myself a note for this too). That way, if there is a leak, it will only leak the 40 to 50 gallons of water in the tank, instead of possibly thousands of gallons continuously when you're away for extended periods of time.
