This gender neutral initiative is confusing.

Onto the main point: Gender is a scientific fact. Just like we’re born human. It’s not an opinion. Sorry- I don’t care how much you tell me otherwise, I will not accept the fact that because you “identify” as a toaster, I have to refer to you as one. If you’re not happy about that, then I’ll do my best to avoid “referring” to you in a similar manner, but I will not call you a toaster. (Unless it’s some sort of weird name-calling thing. In that case, it’s open range.)

Some people are born with “multiple personalities” in their head- they are still a single human being.

Gender is defined by your role in the reproduction dance. You are what your genitals say you are. If you get “the surgery” to switch, that’s fine. I’ll refer to you as such afterward.

Nothing wrong with dressing and acting how you want at all. Do that as much as you wish, but it does NOT change your gender. Gender is an attribute assigned at birth.

That said, I’m not opposed to the “gender-neutral” fashions of raising a kid. You should definitely still refer to them as he/she, based on their true birth gender. But let boys wear pink and play with Barbie and let girls play in the mud and play football.

People should be allowed to DO as they please, that’s fine. But nothing you say will change facts like your gender or your race.

Given that response, would you care to explain hermafradites ?

Haha. That’s fair. In those (very rare) cases, I think whichever organs are functional should determine the “official” gender.
It’s up to them though. Like I said, people can do what they want. If you want to dress like boy and have people mistake you a boy, that’s fine. But if you’re not a boy, don’t go around trying to tell people you are, and don’t get mad when they don’t. (Goes for the opposite as well, obviously.)

But yes, in the rare case of a *************hermaphrodite, to avoid confusion, they should be welcome to “choose”.

So the person born with both organs gets to choose (or most likely their parents do when they're a baby) and there's no telling that the selected ***sex would be the one the person identifies with, and if thats the case youve now got someone living in the wrong body.

So do they need to suffer or can they swap over?

Or if people have to stick with what they're born with should the hermafradite need to be male AND female forever, never feeling normal.

Since people are supposed to be either male OR female, and what you're born with is what you are, then hermafradites couldn't exist.

If we accept that they do indeed exist, and it was some sort of genetic mutation of the foetus that caused a person to have both organs, don't we then have no choice to accept that some sort of genetic issue (or any other issue in conception or gestation could not only cause a person to be born with BOTH, but be born with the WRONG ones?

This gender neutral thing is concerning to me.
People start raising their kids to not think of themselves as a boy or girl can only add confusion to the child.

I think it's wrong to claim transgender people are wrong to believe they're in the wrong body.
Hasn't that been proven now?

Doing nights has been proven to be bad for you.
It's even worse for shift workers that flit between days and nights.

I can't sleep for ****shit lately.
When I'm managing to fall asleep I can't stay asleep.
This really sucks as I only have a limited amount of time I can spend on.sleep.

Some mundane musings on oils.

They've clearly made the seals better to withstand the corrosion on newer cars.

I don't think I've ever not used synthetic.

I've always been intreagued by diesel engines running better on cooking oil than diesel , yet for the most part this is illegal to do unless you declare it, and then the government charge you more.
