Van55 Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 The following item appears this week in a local weekly publication here in Virginia Beach: Australia's Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission announced plans in December to create a third official gender for government identification: "intersex," for transsexuals, whether or not they have had surgery. Immediately, activists from Sex and Gender Education Austrailia called the proposal inadequate, demanding a fourth gender, also for people who feel that "gender" is either "undefinable," or subject to daily changes of attitude. Without knowing for certain, I suspect that El Presidente and Gargett agree with the position of Sex and Gender Education Australia.

shrink Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 And here I thought that only America and Great Britain were subject to this kind of idiocy.
El Presidente Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 And here I thought that only America and Great Britain were subject to this kind of idiocy. We have a labor Govt in power these days which is the spiritual home (along with the greens) for the......well....."sexually disoriented" The reality is that the proponents of such legislation have never seen real Australia let alone leave their soy cappucinos long enough to meet any real Australians. Truly depressing

Ginseng Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Hard to believe this is for real. Sadly, it appears to be so. Wilkey
JMH Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 All jokes aside, there are people who, due to a variety of genetic mutations, are in a kind of limbo between the two genders.
Ginseng Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Agreed. It's a problem on the "nature" side of the nature-nurture continuum. Wilkey

Truly depressing Real Australians???? Gee Ayala I have heard of them but don't they live in suburbs we refuse to drive through, Ipswich, Gympie, Logan? Or am I misunderstanding what you classify as 'real Aussies'?

Warren Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Stone that bloody crows , wouldn't that just rip the crotch outa ya nightie. Just when I thought there was only Blokes and Sheilas.
Van55 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 I can see the question on an Aussie employment application already: Sex (check one):___ Male ___ Female ___ Intersex ___ All of the above ___ None of the above ___ It depends on my mood ___ Yes, please
Mel Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Do they get thier own restrooms? So now we have Gents, Ladies and Tweeners(inbetween).I had a female born cousin that was found to be more genetically male and convinced a state run insurance program to foo the bill to buy a cod.
Wiley Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Wow! And I mean that in a "just been hit in the head with a baseball bat" kinda way.
