I really don't give a fuck about a tiny group of people that choose to do something to themselves and then bitch about wanting to be recognized for it. Fuck them. It's a passport, put male or female and get the fuck over it. You were one or the other at one time.

No penis implant for you.

You spelled 'eggplant' wrong.

Why would she want an eggplant implant?

That's just dumb.

Hermaphrodite sounds like a kind of flower or something.

Androgyny is very big in Japan and other places too. No Mr. or Mrs. for those who are hip. Just Dr. or whatever and their name. No he, she, him, or her in their lingo.

I had heard that this only applied to intersex people, not transgender people, who would still list M or F, whichever was their final gender. Will have to track the facts down.

Australia passports allow transgender 'x' option
They are also allowing transgender in sports, politics, etc. which is perfectly suited for the new bill (see article below).

Are they going to get preferential treatment when applying for a job as well

Only for the job of receptionist.

Just another way to make 'em squirm.

The ones pretending to be a woman only get paid 77% as much as the ones pretending to be a male get.

Only making the process of adjustment more complicated.
