Ladies, gentlemen, others.
Has "others" become normal in Denmark now?
I know that Sweden has adopted the unspecified gender and incorporated it into their language, calling it "hen" (which btw is also the word for "where" ), but I didn't know Denmark had.
I'm probably too old to understand that there can be more than two genders, and I keep wondering how you would say:
I met him on the bus / I met her on the bus / I met "IT" on the bus? ( I met a hen on the bus)

Anyway, your narrative is very creative and your renderings are in a class of their own, as usual.
