Get the pattern?
That's a confusing read.

The 33 gender titles on that sex survey are to add breadth to the survey results. Since many of the gender titles seem to have identical or near-identical definitions, perhaps the survey is researching the population's view on how the majority wish to define themselves.

For example say the majority of answers from the survey for those born female who identify as male today may prefer "trans man" over the relevant alternatives "transgender man", "female to male", "trans person", "trans sexual". The results of this survey would suggest that future literature regarding those born female who identify as male today should typically use the term "trans man".

Another shorter example: Let's say 1000 respondents are men. 999 select "male", whilst 1 selects "cis male". The term "male" remains.

The problem with considering alternate genders as a personality disorder (without genetic "proof") kind of lumps, say, homosexuality back in to being a personality disorder (ie is there a "gay gene"?)

Just completed an online survey for the dealership.

They wanted to know my gender...unfortunately Spaceship wasn't an option.

Even worse, there was only two options.
What is the world coming to?

What weird world do you guys live in where Krispy Strips and Hot and Spicy are unavailable to purchase regularly? Can get them here all the time.

Matter of fact I'm outraged and hurt and need a new gender option.

I'm in Melb and as far as I know they only launch Hot n Spicy one a year, usually around winter. As for the strips they still carry them but changed the coating - It's the original recipe skin now.

My cousin buys boxes/barrels of Hot n Spicy and stores them in the freezer. But he's a stoner so I think that's in their constitution.

Here's a question for those of you that may have already completed the census. What gender options does the ABS list?

I can't wait until all public places have to insert 31 extra toilets blocks in each facility to cope with this.
I pity the person who has to design a graphic symbol for the door of each one of them.

Unisex toilets,

BOOM!

33 genders all in one!

We've even just removed the requirements for men/women toilets, at this rate I'll be running the country, one toilet at a time!

Already completed the census?!!

Failure to wait until the appointed date to fill out the census may result in a tear in the time space continuum.

Absolutely. AFF at it's finest. Unless it's in the technical threads, someone could post ''whats the best pace-maker'' (you know, to help prolong his/her life) ..... 8 posts later we're talking about Thomas The Tank Engine.

33 types of gender, really? As a parent I'm going to blame parents. If your kid isn't good at sports, don't shut them down and turn the attention to different forms like music or cooking or otherwise. As a left hander I wasn't great at sport, but I started percussion, and taught my right hand the be ok, but my left was better, so when it was time for the 8th grade trinity exam on the drum kit (previous exams were on the timpani and xylophone) I killed it on a right handed kit. That being said, it's (in my opinion) social oppression, or being outcast that makes people feel different. I have 4 or 5 "gay" clients, but from what they tell me it's more about having a partner that's a good friend, as opposed to someone they can bang all the time. How is that different to my wife? She is probably my best friend. But I can bang her most nights 3 weeks a month. Awkward males need to find awkward females to find the happy medium

While your knowledge of anatomy is dubious you are describing sex not gender!
The survey offered 33 various gender identities to choose from.

Was reading an article about gender the other day in which the mother of a young boy and girl said her kids would be brought up gender neutral. Holy crap some people have their head stuck up their bums, its hard enough to bring up kids without confusing them with this crap.

What I find funny is I watch shows like the Simpsons where episodes from over 10 years ago absolutely bag the **** out of the gays and homo people. Fast foward 10 years to now and you got episodes dedicated to displaying characters coming out as gays etc. How things have changed so quickly in the last few years is very strange.
