Sometimes a vowel, sometimes a consonant.
Will conservatives try to change how this is taught in schools?

Gee, we always learned that seahorses were hermaphrodites. Guess they’re off the curriculum too!
I am guessing that before this is over, Senate Republicans will probably call for the teaching of Y as non-binary to end, resulting in a call to change the consonant Y to yy (double y), as a companion to w.
@filmfann I think they won’t because that sounds too Ukrainian! (I’ve seen Zelensky spelled Zelenskyy.) ~
@janbb, I read that those spelling differences depend on whether the transliteration is from the Russian or Ukrainian Cyrillic version of the name. The double y is Ukrainian.
HA!

But no matter how many jerkwad laws “conservative” thought police pass, politicians will always find a way keep their own dirty fantasies legal and profitable.

It will be defined as “queer” .
I know the NCAA is already trying to ban it from competing.
I’m pretty sure the fact that it can be 1 of 2 values means it IS binary, and that all other letters are unary. I could be wrong though.
There are other binary letters.
C can be hard (Callous. Cacophany) or soft (Facade, Rapacious, Deciduous)
G – same thing: Hard G – Gallant, Gibbous) or soft (Legendary, Raging)
“K” can be silent like ‘know’.
What sets y apart is that it can be either a vowel or a consonant, and the difference in pronunciation in the two cases is fairly subtle.
