High Court recognises third category of sex

[c2105026]

My mistake, sex chromosones don't affect gender identity

Human Chromosomal Abnormalities:  Sex Chromosome Abnormalities

However here is wikipedia article of Gender Identity Disorder.
Gender identity disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so on that bombshell.. the form is right in listing sex: male / female

if it had listed gender = can o worms

 

[c2105026]

True, however sometimes forms ask for sex, sometimes forms ask for gender.....semantic can of worms yes.....

Ive never had a form ask me for sex.

Why does this political bs get it's own thread? Isn't a thread already in commission regarding such political rubbish?

You need to fill in more forms. Plenty have a tick a box option.

On another aspect, how will these people show their title. Obviously it won't be Mr, Miss, Mrs, Ms etc. Is that something else that will have to be made up to avoid insult ?

Its not political BS.

Its societal BS.

I just recently did a piece on LGBTI and this is just ####ing retarded.

Doesn't matter how you look or what you'be had done, you are either male or female. This is how it is being human.

And then this:
"Why should people be left out because they're not seen as male or female? They should be recognised as whatever they are and allowed to participate in society at an equal level."

Yeah, lets participate in society by finding a way to alienate yourself. Genius.

This is just plan weird, what next, people who have extreme body modifications will be able to be recognised as not human? Saying you are either male or female is effectively already doing that given as I mentioned, humans are male or female unless there has been a genetic defect.

And finally, if this individual is looking to not be associated with a gender, they is he/she/it dressing like a woman? Isn't that contradictory to the objective here?

I was listening to local ABC Radio this morning, and someone from the GLBTI Collective was speaking ...
gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders, and intersexuals - ... I'm going to need some edumacation about what the last two are.

AND, before I am accused of stereotyping &/or insensitivity, I'd like to point out that the JC spellchecker burred up when I typed "transgenders", and again "intersexuals".
