I am aware gender is binary. You either have a penis or you don't. The rest is sexuality.

You are incorrect. You might have a vagina, and testes. Or a penis and vagina. Or neither.

Sexuality is of course, and different matter.

Intersex individuals are extremely rare, and you don't change the 99% to accommodate the extreme few.

Including the excluded doesn't change anything for the 99%.

They need to add "WTF?" as a gender option.

Yeh, basically you are either male or female or the new "X" meaning undefined.

See that girl in the picture. She's a hermaphrodite...

She can go fuck herself.

Rumor has it Michelle Obama was in that group.
I don't know if that was the case, but there was a rumor to that effect.

[uwish]

that would be true IF intersex people didn't pick a gender, the vast majority pick a gender as they grow older, I know of no intersex individual case that I have heard of where they didn't identify with male or female.

The Question: Who needs to know what and why?

DrCaleb DrCaleb:

BartSimpson BartSimpson:

They need to add "WTF?" as a gender option.

It should be just (y/n).

No.
It should be either X or Y and combination thereof.

No, it is still true. Your gender doesn't change just because the government decides not to record it.

I take it you've never heard the musician 'Grimes'? They identify as neither male nor female.

Sorry, you aren't allowed to use genetic theory as it requires quantum mechanics to be true.

I demand a "I identify as an Albertasaurus, Velociraptor, or T-Rex" option.

[DrCaleb]

You are a Llama.


Get over it.

[llama66]

DrCaleb DrCaleb:

You are a Llama.


Get over it.

Fine, then a I identify as a Llama (or Alpaca) option.

This is the fundamental difference, I don't care how you identify yourself, you have either male or female chromosomes. Me wanting to be a 6 foot 7 inch man doesn't make me one because I am 5'8". There are things you can't change because you 'feel' like it.

And there are things people can't change just because someone else wants to label it.

[BartSimpson]

I identify as a fire engine.

[uwish]

you are right you can't change your sex, not from a biological viewpoint. Just not possible.
