M, F, T

When i was testing and filing papers they offered ~omitted~ as an option, its at least a step i guess

 

I want a world where no one asks for your gender, and the whole concept of gender norms is thrown out the window.
I mean really, why should my school, my bank, my work care what gender I am?

 

And, as usual, suburban Alabama will be the last to join the line.

 

Lol, I live in Massachusetts, and while it may be one of the most liberal states....there are a lot of homophobes here >8( . I can't stand them.

 

Okay, you gotta admit, that is

FREAKING COOL.

I have yet to see it here in Desert-ville, though. I think we beat Alabama for the most homophobes and slow-minded citizens (meaning the stupid politically and/or religiously EXTREME peoples...not a dig on either one, as I am political and religious, but still, I think both can be taken a bit far when it comes to human rights...)

Thank you for posting this, Myra!

 

Well a few years ago I saw a form which said.

Gender
( ) Male
( ) Female
( ) Other

But I think it was a mistake.

 

I'd love to hear your story. Anyone who can say they have more homophobes than we cheerful Alabamians is worth listening to.

 

Haha-- That's a story for another day and another thread, unfortunately. I don't want to hijack it.
The "Other" option is interesting. I can't really imagine seeing it on a doctors slip or whatever. It's cool, though.

 

That is amazing - I've never heard of anywhere or officialdom offering anything other than "M" or "F". I'm assuming a lot of transgendered people would like to be considered either Male or Female, but to have the option of Trans is great.

Now all we need is an "I" for intersex and an "O" for Other...

 

Yeah there is more than one type of intersex though I don't know what they are though

 

It's definately a step in the right direction anyway. I think it will come to a point where the options are M, F, MTF, FTM, and I. I hope so anyway, it would make the world seem like such a more understanding place...

 

That's great, a major step in the right direction

 

thats amazing! I've never seen anything like that on a form in the UK

 

I am impressed!

 

when i registered online for gsa(i think it was through glsen) i had to putin my sex, sexual orientation, and gender.


feel freel to correct me if i am wrong, but i am pretty sure that intersex is when you do not recieve XX or XY chromesomes, but you do recieve XXY or XYX, which causes huge a gentetic problem. some intersexuals are born with out any genetilia. others may have mixed signs of both male and female sexes. many intersexuals state that they are male or female, depending on their gender. some will go through life hiding their sex.

personaly, i think it would be halarious to be openly out as intersexual. it would make pe amazing. "guys run first, girls second!" "what about me?"

from what i understand, most places have to ask due to diversity laws. however, there should be a "decline to state" option.

 

Is the point of being a "T", to become the other member??
So why choose "T" if you became a "M"???

 

What?
