A Romaine and kale salad with avocado, cucumber, shishito peppers, and four kinds of cheese.

蘿蔓葉和羽衣甘藍沙拉，搭配酪梨、小黃瓜、日式小甜椒和四種起司。

Sprinkled in balsamic straight from Italy.

再淋上義大利直送的紅酒醋。

Wow!

哇！

In my day, salads only had two ingredients: a rock-hard wedge of iceberg lettuce and a stinky old dried up tomato.

在我那個年代，沙拉只有兩種材料：堅硬無比、切成楔形的一塊結球萵苣和一顆氣味不佳、乾巴巴的番茄。

Sorry, guys, I'm gonna have to eat fast.

抱歉，大家，我得快點吃了。

Alex is stopping by in a few minutes to work on a robotics project.

Alex 幾分鐘後就會過來一趟，跟我一起進行機器人專題工作。

Alex...

Alex⋯⋯。

Is that the girl with that weird dog or the boy with the hat with the wings that flap?

他是那個養著怪狗的女孩，還是那個戴著有拍動著翅膀帽子的男孩？

No, Uncle Jay, this is Alex.

不，Jay 叔叔，Alex 是他。

Oh, OK, I remember.

喔，好，我記得了。

A very nice young⏤hmm, come to think of it...

一個非常好的——嗯，我現在想想⋯⋯

... well, is Alex a boy or a girl?

⋯⋯嗯，Alex 是男孩還是女孩呀？

Actually, Alex doesn't define themselves as boy or girl.

實際上，Alex 並沒有把自己定義為男孩或女孩。

What else is there?

還有什麼呢？

Back in your day, most people understood the world in terms of just boys and girls.

在你的那個年代，多數人對世界的了解只有男孩和女孩的差別。

But now, we know gender is more complex than that.

但我們現在知道性別遠比那樣還複雜。

Wait⏤aren't we just talking about whether you're born with a [honk-honk] or a [hee-hee]?

等等，我們不是只在討論你生來是否有個圈圈或是叉叉嗎？（譯註：原文當中以狀聲詞取代的內容為性器官，為了不明講而改以聲音表現，中文以圈圈、叉叉表現）

When you're born, your sex is assigned in a medical way.

當你出生時，你的性別是以醫學角度決定。

But the sex listed on your birth certificate may not necessarily match your gender identity.

但是你出身證明上註記的性別不見得會跟你認同的性別一致。

Gender identity is a person's inner experience of who they are in terms of gender.

所謂性別認同，是一個人內在對於自己性別、身份為何的體驗。

Their deep personal sense of being male, female, a blend of both, or neither.

他們對自己是男性、女性、混合性別或兩者皆非的深刻個人感覺。

And while many people have a gender identity that's the same as their assigned birth sex⏤a female or male⏤that's not always the case because gender exists on a spectrum.

而雖然許多人的性別認同都跟出生時被指定的性別（也就是男或女）相同，那並不是不變的狀況，因為性別存在於一個範圍之間。

Like transgender, which means a person whose gender identity is not consistent with their assigned birth sex.

例如跨性別者，這表示一個人的性別認同與他們出生時的生理性別不同。

Non-binary, which means a person whose identity doesn't fall in the category of either male or female.

非二元性別者，這意味著一個人的身份並不屬於男性或女性範疇。

And genderqueer or genderfluid, which means a person who does not identify themselves as having a specific gender at all.

而性別酷兒或性別流動者，則是指不認為自己有任何一個特定性別的人。

Does gender identity have to do with being straight or gay?

性別認同與異性戀或同性戀有關係嗎？

Actually, no.

其實沒有。

Gender identity has to do with the way you feel about yourself.

性別認同與你自己對自己的感覺有關。

While sexual orientation is based on the way you feel toward others⏤the people you may or may not be attracted to.

但性取向則是你自己對他人的感覺，你是否受那個人吸引。

You know, I really like Alex, and I can tell they're a good friend to you.

你知道嗎，我很喜歡 Alex，而且我也可以看得出他是你的好朋友。

But I'm still pretty confused about all of this.

但我仍然對這一切感到很困惑。

That's OK; you don't have to fully understand someone to respect them.

這沒關係，你不需要完全理解某人才能尊重他。

To start, try not to make any assumptions about a person's gender.

首先，盡量不要對一個人的性別有任何預設立場。

And use the name and pronouns that they ask you to.

並使用他們要求你使用的名字和代名詞。

Above all, be a friend or ally for people of all gender identities.

最重要的是，成為所有不同性別認同者的朋友或是盟友。

That's right, mom.

這就對了，媽媽。

Oh, Alex is here.

喔，Alex 來了。

Come on in.

進來吧。

Hey, everyone.

嘿，大家好。

Oh, hey, Alex.

哦，嘿，Alex。

Care for some salad?

想吃點沙拉嗎？

The balsamic's right from Italy, you know.

你知道嗎？紅酒醋是義大利直送的喔！
