No, they’re the same species: Canis lupus. Dogs are a subspecies, Canis lupus familiaris. But they’re still related closely enough to produce fertile offspring, so they’re considered the same species.

Which is kinda funny since dogs and wolves are still the same species.

I’m probably speaking out of turn here, but reporting a previous name is a simple matter of security, not deadnaming. I’m not trans, but I use my stepfather’s surname and changed to that legally when I was 18. If someone called me by my mom’s abuser’s name to my face I would be distraught, but when forms ask me for prior legal names I just list it and it’s not a big deal. It’s just an identity thing.

The form isn’t asking “what’s your real name?” it’s asking “have you ever been known by any other legal names?”

The only reasonable way for many of us to have an EV right now is to also have an ICE vehicle for the things the EVs we can afford can’t do.

My wife and I have pushed having one car between us to its limit so we’re looking for an EV for regular local driving, but we really can’t risk having only an EV since the ones we can afford are all very small and not AWD. Should be able to replace a lot of our ICE driving but not all.
