Should We Create A Third Gender?

[naomi24]

Given all the controversy over the transgender issue and whether or not men who self-identify as women should be allowed to use women’s facilities, should we establish an accepted third gender as I believe some other countries have, and allocate those people separate spaces?

Hi roadman.
get educated before you spout this nonsense

Not nonsense just common sense, perhaps you have heard of it ?

[naomi24]

roadman, I've no idea of your experience. Educate us.

Roadman sounds a lot like spath. Doesn't read posts properly, but gets annoyed anyway.
Roadman... transpeople are not all criminals. What on earth are you reading? Being trans, makes literally no difference to crime. No better, no worse. You have even said that yourself.

Jim, most of the difficulties "are" self-inflicted- but hear me out please. It is not because of how people feel, identify, how they are... it's because of the "solutions" they choose. And that is a choice. Not the way they feel, but what they choose to do about it.
People can identify, do, whatever they like. But- the problem is, they haven't bothered to make their own words, language, descriptions... they are misappropriating other people's. So those words no longer mean what they did, to anyone. And it causes confusion and conflict (in sports, for instance). Choosing different words, even... would be a start. And nobody could be bothered or offended.

There are only 2 genders. Anybody who wants to imagine otherwise is simply delusional and wrong.

Sexes. Two sexes.

[pixie374]

Yes. Two sexes, infinite genders. They aren't related to each other either- except by modern stereotypes.

Unfortunately, it hasn't finished yet, nailit. But, on the way. If you have had
enough... you can imagine how most women are feeling.

There are 2 genders.
And 500 ''I want to identify as something else''

I would like to Identify as a male bag of chips please from now on.

Not two genders, nailit. Two sexes- male and female. It's important not to confuse them x

Does that make it any clearer Pix?


At a loss myself as to witch loo to use...

[Mamyalynne]

You aren't really.

[pixie374]

Loos are by sex. Everything that is differentiated is by sex. Nobody cares about personality. If you are a bloke, then go by that x

//You aren't really//
No, I arn't really. But if things
carry on I shall be....
