Gender Options

The Children’s commissioner in the UK has been asking children as young as 13 to describe their gender.

This is the list they can choose from:- (Daily Mail)
Girl or Boy
Male or Female
Trans-Girl: Someone has or transitioning from male to female.
Trans-Boy: Transitioning from female to male.
Agender: No gender identity or neutral identity.
Androgynous: Partly male and female, of indeterminate sex.
Bi-Gender: Those experiencing two gender identities, either at the same time or varying.
Non-Binary: Describes those who don’t feel exclusively male or female.
Demi-Boy: Partly male regardless of birth gender.
Demi-Girl: Female version of above.
GenderQueer: Those who don’t subscribe to conventional gender distinctions.
Gender-Nonconforming: Those who don’t follow how they should look or act based on their birth gender.
Tri-Gender: Shifts between Male, Female or genderless.
All Genders: Someone who identifies as all possible genders.
Intersex: Someone with genetic or hormonal features that are typical of male and female.

Scotty, Yes its for real, There are in fact 25 gender on the list, I used a few only. They also say that anyone over 16 has the automatic right to change their legal gender.
Its not the whats your gender as it doesnt bother me as times change and as long as your a good person doing no harm then live and let live, its the ridiculous childrens commissioner asking children so young to dsecribe their gender, what is its purpose?.......cheers
She apparently withdrew the survey as it should have stated that kids under 16 must consult with their parents, it did not mention it, in addition she was questioned about the fact she was solely committed to feminist methodologies.
Bizarre but I still dont get what purpose it serves, just market research to me,..........................................................beer
Gender Politics, The rules about genderless toilets and a single non gender specific school uniform policy!.

She said that 1 person in a 100 in the UK was likely to be of a forced gender. doh
Hi Map. This is ridiculous to ask such young kids. doh

Myself I am just a normal girl and feminine in all aspects. flirty
Hi daniela, We are at the age where we appreciate we are either male or female, I feel sorry for the next generations where they have make these choices.

I suppose some men would say they were of both genders just so they could wear a dress these days.
Is there a male or female option

???
OB, Yes, They put it first, but assume they thought no kid would be a simple male or female.
daniela, A startling revelation! however it was probably normal.hug
Red, I agree, enough is enough, these leftie do-gooders have no clue.
Being a girl dani, I would of thought it was only natural to want to play with boys,......................................laugh

here is were their brain resides maprolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
I think asking a child that question at 13 is a bit premature Molly IMO and wow I never realised there was so many genders and as Map said there are more,.....
Molly I take on board what you say and yes it happens but out of a class of thirty say how many kids have these kind of thoughts.
I find this world changes because of few not of the many----not saying the few do not need help, but hey what about mums and dads to sort this out not at school. Kids need to leave school being able to read and do basic maths and feel good about themselves --self esteem great people do not always need certificates but gender issues for all a no no
Molly, Do you not think its more peer pressure or the constant exposure to gender issues these days? From a logical view, surely you are born male or female, yes there maybe hormonal issues but these are more mental in my opinion.

I just cant for the life of me see how some kid 13 or under will know what out of 25 gender options he/she is.dunno
Mental?

You are born totally feeling and being a female - everything you know is female - you know you are a female

But when you look in the mirror, there is a strange male body covering you.

That is not a mental issue.
How could that not be psychological? Born a girl, acting like a girl but seeing a male in the mirror.help
I used to be a male trapped inside a female body. Then Mum went into labour and had me.
Pat..Good one rolling on the floor laughing
Sounds exactly like a Mental Health issue to me and as Red pointed out, what minority are out of the majority,....
Map...because the body is real?

She is actually born inside a male outer shell
Molly hug I think the issue for me is asking a whole class.
A teacher should be able to spot kids with problems of this nature and give help and talk to parents etc.

I can remember when my kids were 12ish they crossed a field full of fungie and when in class they were told about magic mushrooms then 6 kids ended up in hospital because they tried them.

I know this is off beat a little but i know you will get the gist of what i am meaning.

No problem in helping any child but 13 and under is going too far
But I do remember going to a party with my dad and coming home with my mum before I was born, does that mean Im trans gender,.........................rolling on the floor laughing
Scotty, I am delighted for you.
It must be great to be one of the people who doesn't have to deal with these issues.
Congratulations!


However, just because you do not have these issues, does not mean they do not exist.


i don't have cancer.

Yet cancer exists, and affects other people.

I acknowledge the existence of cancer and its effects on other people, even though it doesn't affect me personally.
I am sorry scotty i hate it when a persons comment is hateful to a seriouse comment. You do not have to take the mick just because you disagree with someone, Molly is not one of the idiots that come on the blogs scold scold scold
Nota, Thanks for adding those, I was going to but was too ashamed of what society now dictates.cheers

So where are these terms used?, Universities to my knowledge, Im sure there are more places, Someone enlighten us please.
PS. I actually think it comes from a good place and it's rather cute, but it is getting beyond ridiculous.
Oh dear, I wish I didn't have to work so I could explain it as it seems difficult to comprehend.

But yes


You are born into the wrong gender body.
And where was this hurtful comment Red??????????????????
you are such a convincing writer that i found this believable. if it's true, i think the parents should fill one out too. maybe it should be on job applications too? perhaps design patches for the vest for identification...
not really...
I,m outa here its getting out of hand sorry Mollysuper
Good excuse not to mention this non hurtful comment Red,.......
doh oops for those who scorn google it and you will read all about it.

Me i just do not agree bringing it to a whole classrooms attention lips lips lips
Its an opinion, whole point of commenting on a blog about it, if you dont like it then as blog rules state, dont comment on it and move on! Seems to me some people on here regardless how they truly think and feel about something have their tongue so far up someone elses backside it has made them nose dumb!!!
I think my joke was a bit funnier.
bowing bowing bowing of course you are both right head banger
Of course Scotty it was normal to want to play with boys when you´re a girl but... I meant I didn´t want to play girlie things - only wanted to play with boys´toys. wink

Playing cowboys and Indians, electric train sets, soldiers... no dolls for me!
There was recently a case here in Canada, where a young fellow figured he was a trans girl. And all efforts were made to insure all rights were given to the trans gender. No problem with that, but a while later he got a girl pregnant, and he was a male again.
Definitely got me confused,confused
I myself don t figure a lot of people especially younger people know what they want or are. confused
I had to go for a while...

Scotty, I didnt notice, and as far as Im concerned if its not a personal attack say what you like, dont worry about it.

Free, It's actually true, and you are right about the parents.

1to1, It's constantly getting weirder these days, I do wonder if these new gender identifications would mean people in the UK would get higher social payouts.

Can we be truly honest in self-description? This is my attempt. And to ensure it has some degree of truth, I’ve asked a female friend to give her opinion also. So here goes :
