one of the questions, was “how do you travel to the game”. I have to tick, “other”. Imagine if it said, “sex” and the options were, male, female, other
Thinking if there was someone who opened a drop down menu and saw male or female, they’d be angry because what they consider themselves to be isn’t an option. It blows my mind.
If you look down and see a dick, then you are male.

Don't watch it. What did they say ?
I love being close minded. Helps me get through the day! Oh, and if this issue is "real", it's only because snowflakes like you that have caused it and brought the false feelings to light. I'll say it again and will keep saying it, you are either MALE or FEMALE. If you look down and see a dick, then you are male. If you see a minge, you are female. Live with it!
Jesus Christ. Teapot was used by Houch as a joke.Oh jeez, here we go again. It's really simple yet people are either too thick to understand the difference between sex and gender - as defined by just about any dictionary or medical journal - or else they are engaging in a kneejerk reaction to the very unfortunate identify politics that's around.
We are all biologically of male sex or female sex as defined very fundamentally by our gamete type. Even the intersex are either fundamentally male or female as defined by their gamete type, no matter what's between their legs.
Gender, on the other hand, is the behaviour and appearance of a person as traditionally associated with the sexes and is the expression of gamete, physiological, phenological and sociological upbringing. This isn't an opinion: it's a medical and literary definition.
It is for such reason that in the Department of Education we collect information on both the sex and gender of a person, and it's why in questionnaires I respond that I am male if asked after my sex, and female or transgender (since I identify across the genders) if asked about my gender.
Government departments reporting on medical matters report on either or both sex and gender according to the context. Clearly, if you are investigating the interaction of a virus on males or females then the most important thing is to determine if they have an XY gamete or not, whereas reporting, say, on the effectiveness of a drug for depression may be more nuanced and so sex and gender may be recorded/reported.
And just for the record - I hate Woke and Identity politics - this distinction between sex and gender is not a very good basis for the kinds of things that the alt-left extremes are pushing, and 99% of us wish they'd all go and teapot off.
Edit: 'teapot' is used on a very long-running community board I know as a filter word for profanities. It was adopted because 'I want to/if were to identify as a teapot' is thought to mark the writer out as the most stupid, boring lame, and laughable of all the antagonists we have to deal with in our daily lives.

Can't be arsed educating myself about something that I have absolutely no interest in whatsoever. If someone can't look between their legs and decide if they're male or female, then I worry for the future generations. And I'm not talking about being gay. That is something that has been in the forefront for decades and I would class as "feelings and emotions", something I can understand, but when a decision has to be made as to whether you are male or female as in "gender", geez!
Derogatory ? I was a really sending up Houch with a bit of banter.
I've never ever shown anything but sympathy to anyone who is not comfortable with whom they are. The issue is, is it genuine or the product of a society where change may actually be encouraged.
Yes I do laugh a lot at surveys that ask you what gender you are and give you a dozen different choices because I wonder for what reason .
You can buy bikes specifically for male and female, but not really any other type. Is that wrong ?

So if you’re genderless, you have no social or cultural ideas, identity, traits, attributes, etc.? What an existence.
In fairness to Houch he's never said he hates gay people. He simply thinks that all these many, ever expanding categories is nonsense.You'll be stoning the gays soon.
Being a psychological/sociological thing and not physical, I'd assume that is where someone just wants to be considered as a person and not one or the other (in simplistic terms).

But if we declare war and there is mass conscription you could stay at home and watch TV instead.So if you’re genderless, you have no social or cultural ideas, identity, traits, attributes, etc.? What an existence.

And stuck between beer and babycham.
The absolute best of both worlds.And stuck between beer and babycham.
You are right that gender is about expression, but I could point you to scores of scientific literature that views gender as, in particular, phenological expression, not just sociological. The jury will be out for a very long time yet on which is the stronger influence. The admonishing side of me says the latter, the ex-academia in me says that given that we are moving towards a view that our thoughts and behaviours are 70% derived from the phenological expression of our genes, then perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself (or indeed, anybody else who might be to blame)
Or in the mirror.I don’t need to look down to see a dick, I can just look on here
You need to see the whole episode really, one of their classic ones:Which toilet does a 9 year old child who has identified as a girl , having been born as a boy , use at school ?
Should that child have the right, money no object let's pretend, to their own specific washroom facilities, and therefore so should every other category of people.
Imagine a corridor full of toilets for different groups.
....then there's the symbols to put on the doors.
Its laughable.
There's a great episode of Law and Order SVU that is similar to this scenario: "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Fallacy (TV Episode 2003) - IMDbwonder what people who don't believe in male/female definition think about a convicted male rapist who identifies himself as female... should he be sent to an all-female prison so as not to infringe on his "human rights". For example.
Season 18, episode 3 for anyone who has got Amazon Prime.You need to see the whole episode really, one of their classic ones
