I appreciate WOTC doing this important work.  We need this so much, at times like these.

I'd just like to point out the die pictured is not a hundred-sided die. 
It appears to be a 48 or 54-sided die or something in between. 
I need one because I don't have one!

The very-many-sided dice tend to roll a lot before stopping and fall off tables, etc.

There's a reason they stopped at d20.

I think that's what makes it obvious that this is a parody, because there are clearly way more than 100 genders.

Ejem, DCC has d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10, d12, d14, d16, d20, d24, d30 and you can buy the dice.

Exactly, what kind of bigot thinks they can say there's only 100?

There are obviously 102...the articles says they left off 'man' and 'woman'...

Back in my day, we called this stuff "personality" and the only "genders" we had were male and female. Although nowadays those words are considered transphobic, so they're called "ejaculators" and "menstruators" now.
