    No I wouldn't. I'd say completing a statement with a question mark is a bit of a giveaway i.e. it tells me a lot. Critisisng and laughing at an adult who believes in fairy tales, Santa Claus or a religion is far different than crtisising someone for the way they are.

    It was a question, why woudn't I complete it with question mark?

    Anyway your answer is a hypocrisy and double standard at that. Non binary is as much a fairy tale as a religion.

    then-Māori Development Minister Nanaia Mahuta said international evidence showed procurement quotes for indigenous businesses "resulted in increased wealth, financial stability and employment opportunities, as well as wider social and community wellbeing benefits for indigenous peoples".
    Jackson, who took on the role after last year's election, in December said contracts with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses in Australia have gone from $6 million to "almost $2 billion in just four years".

    Unfortunately it is a win/loss. A loss for all those capable businesses that miss out due to being the wrong racial group. Appalling! Shame on you for such racist bigotry!

    How about an Asian quota? People of Asian descent number around the same as Maori in this country. What about Pasifika?

    Where does your racial prejudice begin and end?

    Will we have a LGBT+ alphabet soup quota as well? Why not, we may as well go the full discrimination hog ay JT?

    A question would begin 'Would you say......'
    'So you'd say ....etc ' is making a statement, although t is known as a 'leading question' but it's simply a statement in disguise, designed to extract agreement - as any lawyer will attest.
    As far as your second point goes - your getting confused with the different types of fairies.
