Gender Determination

[SparklyKid]

This is a shot of the application form for a blue badge. The gender question only gives two options, male or female.

When can we expect similar forms to give 50 odd gender options ?

Good for you SK. It seems some are confused and uncertain whatever they may be! :-)

[spathiphyllum]

You're talking sexuality surely JTH?

We're talking gender.. Has boy george ever said he's not a man?

[jackthehat]

Well, there's certainly no confusion as to exactly what you are, retrocop.

[spathiphyllum]

JHT.. even boy george's autobiography was titled "Take It Like a Man".. Is that not gender specific, and conforming to gender stereotypes? For a 'person' that does not want to identify their gender.. seems an odd book title?

[jackthehat]

spath - I am asking SparklyKid whether he would consider those I named to be similarly 'red-blooded males'.

[spathiphyllum]

Ah i have the wrong end of the stick.


I would consider those red bloodied males. But they've not chosen to state their gender is anything different to M or F

[gness]

Ahhh....blooded.....I did wonder if Mamya could source enough Steri Strips..... ;-)

[jackthehat]

But I wasn't asking you, spath, was I?

[retrocop]

//Well, there's certainly no confusion as to exactly what you are, retrocop.//

Quite right. I am heteronormative. :-)

Sorry Jack, i was trying to keep it topical. As i said.. I got the wrong end of the stick.

///... fully functioning red bloodied male///
What does that even mean?

Julian Clary, Boy George and Graham Norton can claim the same...

Not really, I believe they all prefer intimacy with their own sex.

I was talking more Errol Flynn etc. Although even he may have had certain predilections.

SK when you copy and paste can you remove the "avatar image" and "mark as best answer" lol bare tacky

[spathiphyllum]

Someones gender does not define their sexuality.. Is that clear or is that still a bit hazy?

[SparklyKid]

Personally I like the difference being males and females.

A woman is soft to the touch because, unlike men , they have a layer of fat under the skin. Their arms therefore feel soft unlike the swarthy muscular feel of a mans arm.

[spathiphyllum]

urmm.. aight i think you've lost it

[SparklyKid]

Between males and females. I should have said.

What happened to 'Choose your Gender?
A few years back there was a movement aimed at 'Gender' being a matter of choice. Did it die out ? (I hope so,daft idea )

[Old_Geezer]

Some like to claim gender is about how you feel but not everyone wants to add that definition. As I understand it gender was to do with language, then it was adapted to be a euphemism for sex. Those definitions are what I've been aware of all my life. Then I reckon someone saw the opportunity to appropriate it for applying to confused sex folk. I don't think it should be.
