I saw this posting on Twitter recently. Pat Condell mocks political correctness everywhere he finds it.

What do you think? Is it rational or even possible for human gender to be classified in this manner?

Most people are one of two genders
And then you have a group of people with several variations of it.

Why does that offend people? I'll never understand it

In the meantime .... the US government still tell us that there's 6 races in the World

"confused" might be more accurate. How do you fill in a survey where you can't even find "male" and "female" in the list?

I'm all for tolerance but when I see "questioning" "pansexual" or any other number of assorted terms on someone's dating profile, they get hidden (okcupid) ... generally it means they will be high maintenance and attention seekers and try to turn their status into some sort of big issue.

I don't know what to make of all of this stuff. Male, Female, Gay, Bi. I can get my head around this. I'm even working on trying to get my head around the trans stuff. I don't get all of the other stuff, but I have a meh attitude about it. Trying to do the live and let live thing here.

Three. Masculine, feminine, and neuter. Ask any language.

Biology says male or female.
Anything else is opinion and fantasies.

Male who prefer males are still male.
Males who medically alter their genitals to look like something else are still males.
They cannot change what is by cutting parts off.

The poll doesn't even have the correct answer listed.

Being gay is not a gender, and being a demi-man or demi-woman doesn't exist.

I believe there are 2 genders--male and female. There are those who feel neither male nor female, and I can respect that, but I wouldn't call it a gender.
