Well, no one would actually lead with that, but I've met people in the Bay that have lead with "What are your pronouns?" and "How do you identify?", either of which may make for an awkward (or worse) first impression in a lot of other places.
And get this, there's bars too!!! With real alcohol!
Not a thing in the rest of the country, or even in very leftest areas.
FFS, just ask who they are, what they like to do and see if there is something in common. This politica bullshit really need to end (it is ok for more close relationships, but if the first question I get is if I am Right or Left, I will just insult he person somehow)
I believe the common trolling method is to identify as an "apache attach helicopter", pronouns vrrrrr/bang
