    Why?

    Not everything to do with their gender identity has to revolve around their sexuality.

    I never said that, sexuality is a separate issue. I’m saying they are picking and choosing what they want to be when it suits them. As I said if they were truly gender neutral they wouldn’t identify with any male or female traits, imo they are cherry picking to suit themselves which they are quite entitled to do as it’s their bodies.

    That’s pretty much it.

    I’m not so sure being gender neutral means that you can’t identity with any stereotypically male or female traits.

    Look you obviously have looked into this more than me, but as I said let people do what the * they want. But I still think the government should be spending their time on more pressing issues than this.

    There shall be 15 different toilets in all public buildings for all genders. Then as more genders come on the scene we’ll have to knock buildings down and start again.

    I think this is the ‘peak’ of western liberalism, people in rich nations clearly don’t have any real problems if they’re inventing both issues and solutions to those non issues. Starving children in Africa and impoverished victims in wartorn states aren’t complaining about being able to use both bathrooms, they have genuine problems in their lives.

    It’s also interesting that we’ve probably taken freedom and democracy as far as possible - some people now want their freedom to be so encompassing that it infringes on my freedom to use correct pronouns. In general I don’t care what people do or want to be, but if any government tried to make it illegal to refer to a man as a male or a woman as ‘she’ they would have to be challenged by the entire scientific community and all vaguely intelligent humans.

    There are two genders. This is, was and will be a fact. A fact that can’t or won’t be changed by further study or evidence. I understand trying to acknowledge all minorities but pandering to the extremes in this instance is counter productive. Ive worked with many kids and can tell you categorically from the youngest ages they intrinsically identify with being either male or female, and to confuse them is frankly appalling.

    Facts are not opinions. In 2018 people seem to have got this confused.

    Just because other people have problems that are worse, doesn’t make someone else’s problems any less valid. Atrocious argument.

    What type of ‘problems’ do humans that don’t abide by the logic of ‘male’ and ‘female’ have?

    ‘They may fluctuate between genders or express multiple genders at the same time.’

    I’m drinking a beer and singing along to Barbie Girl just now.

    I think I might be neutral.

    Do folk that aren’t ‘male’ or ‘female’ have problems?

    Why don’t they seek the appropriate help to alleviate those problems?
