Hey you're not alone.
Although I won't pretend to fully understand who you are, I'm not even sure I do my own self.

I had never heard of isogender, but kinda relate to.

I'm not trans, but I don't feel cis either.
I have both masculine and feminine sides, although they're not exactly clearly defined, it's definitely there.
I don't feel gender fluid either, in the sense that I'm always somewhat all over the place like this, which is something that doesn't really change.

I guess isogender is not mutually exclusive with other labels, although I mostly dislike labeling myself, which feels arbitrarily restrictive.
I guess, in a way, maybe that makes me somewhat agender, in the sense that I feel like the concept of gender isn't much relevant to who I am as a person, although it's also not absent either.

I don't really know how to describe this, but labeling myself always felt weird.
It's like people expect me to fit on a horizontal male-female axis, but instead of being in a single spot I'm a Jackson Pollock painting stop-motioned mid-throw in zero-G.

Rubbing your own smooth chin after a long time without shaving is so weirdly pleasant even though I can't find the words to describe the feeling properly.

Edit: sorry, I had missed the part about avoiding lies in your first comment.

Tomatoes are already acidic, consider non-lemony tomatoes next time if possible.

As for this batch, both sugar and baking soda works somewhat and you can to both.
A little at a time so you don't change the taste too much.
Onions are acidic too, but much less so than lemontomatoes, adding a bunch of em to the sauce can help.
If you don't plan on freezing or canning and you're just making sauce to put on pasta or something, add cream to it to make a sauce rosée, it'll mellow the perception of acidity a lot too.
Or use in it a chili where the beans, while not chemically buffering the acidity like baking soda would, can help absorb some of the taste.

Same kinda genius who programs it with "KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD", but more dangerous.

Calling police for a mental health situation is a terrible idea indeed.

Shooting thingies like guns, bows.
A left-handed gun wasn't really heard of when I grew up.
I'm sure some existed, but I'd never seen one, let alone used one until much later in life.

I'm right-handed... but left-eye dominant. Actually, not just eye-dominance, but I have noticeably worse eyesight in the right eye, even with correction.
Being right-handed, I never really questioned it when someone handed me a right-handed shooting apparatus.
Not that I used bows or guns that much, but some just plain sucked to use and I only figured it out later in life.

Shooting from the left shoulder makes a lot more sense to me because that's where my good eye is and my left hand only has to squeeze the trigger or release the string anyway.
Sight alignment is way more important.
Moving and pointing the thing with my right hand makes sense.

Many modern bows have very pronounced "handedness" in their very asymmetrical designs and are very awkward to even hold offhand and almost unsable.

I don't mind righties' break actions, that's mostly ambidextrous anyway unless there's a pronounced grip.

Righties bolt actions are a bit weird to cycle, you either reach around to cycle, or hold it up with the trigger hand. I'm kinda stuck.. a lefty rifle is superior for me, but I'm somewhat used to righties.

Righties semi-autos kinda suck because of the gasses being ejected in your face.
I imagine full-autos suck more in that regard.
That and mag releases and safeties.

I'm pretty sure walk-in ovens, like walk-in freezers, are supposed to have a few safety features like interior handles that open regardless of any outside lock, alarms, etc.
This is certainly suspicious af.
