It's the context that matters. Per the ADL:
The overwhelming usage of the “okay” hand gesture today is still its traditional purpose as a gesture signifying assent or approval. As a result, someone who uses the symbol cannot be assumed to be using the symbol in either a trolling or, especially, white supremacist context unless other contextual evidence exists to support the contention.
I'm also a diver and use the OK sign under water. Along with millions of divers of every ethnicity.
But if you're a rightwing rally or posed in front of the US flag and menacingly brandishing firearms, there's a pretty good chance you're doing it for white supremacist reasons.

Her sign should say there are only “two sexes.” Gender is the social construction of sex. How societies assign traits/personality of sex, which is a spectrum. There are hundreds of ways to express gender for both men and women. This constant confusion of gender and sex annoys me. I would also add there are three types of sex, male, female, and intersexed.
Outside her office, apparently, and directed at her colleague whose daughter is trans.

Yeah, the whole reactionary rightwing debacle around gender is based on emotional ignorance.
Two dominant sexes: male (XY), and female (XX). Then there's a whole bunch of different intersexes based on chromosomal variations - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Population_figures
Yes. Shame she is what GA decided to have represent them.
