I'm not having it!!

Blue touch paper time:
There's something becoming mentioned more and more in the press and as forward thinking as I try to be, I just simply cannot accept it.
I'm referring to gender neutrality and people who insist that they don't see themselves as one thing or the other and claim to be somewhere in the middle. This, for me is just going too far: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/4156...-passports

It's not a choice, it's a given, you're either one thing or the other and to claim that you're somewhere in the middle is pretty attention seeking in my book. Shocked
I'm absolutely fine with anybody being whoever they want to be but please don't try to defy science and biology and convince me there's a third or fourth choice because I'm not having it.
Maybe I'm on my own thinking this way but I've had 50 odd years of knowing what I thought was proven by science and now, driven by our own politically correct load of b*****ks, I'm suddenly being told I was wrong.

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong but I think you'll be up against it. Rolling Eyes

I entirely agree with you. Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Facebook offer users a choice of 71 gender options - Censored absurd !

Want some help lighting the touchpaper?

I agree, and even more so when this rubbish is being applied to or pushed upon kids. All kids dress up, dosnt change who or what they are.

When folks are older, if they are still confused thats up to them to sort it out (operations or whatever), but it doesnt need to be pushed on the rest of us - to my mind another case of pandering to the few and upsetting the many.

The world is going mad.

Just deleted a rather tasty paragraph which would have probably got me intp trouble with the mods but agree with Narpy completely and pandering to these people will only make their lives that bit more difficult
as they will never face up to what they actually are, hanging onto what they want to be or whatever the latest fad is this week.

Look downstairs, tackle = man, no tackle = woman, that's biology and anything else is happening between their ears rather than elsewhere.

I've personal experience of this as a few people I know or have known have had the gender swap ops, but they're still ending up as a man or a woman, not fairies or elves !!!

I've no idea why gender is specified on a passport in the first place. Perhaps with a few people wanting to appear different (and sometims succeeding rather well) it could just be omitted? There are, of course, three "types" biologically. The estimated total number of animal species is 8.6 million, with the percentage of animal species that are hermaphroditic being about 0.7%.

I was told by someone who has to know this for her politically correct job that the count of different percieved genders is now over 20.

So having the cruel fate of your x's and y's mixed up means that you should be subject to years of anxiety leading in many cases to mental instability is a fully acceptable alternative to those who object. Confused

What a sad world we live in Neutral

As a D5 owner I think I’m model neutral, I can’t identify myself as a Disco owner and I don’t identify myself as a Range Rover owner either Laughing

I’m of the opinion you are male or female, doesn’t mater what you chop off or add. You’re still one or the other.

Maybe we shouldn't bring Christianity into this ?
