"THIS Mardi Gras, Norrie received a gift that no other androgynous person in NSW has had before.

The night before the parade, the postman brought a certificate from the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages that contained neither the dreaded ''M'' nor its equally despised cousin, ''F''.

Instead, it said ''sex not specified'', making the 48-year-old Sydneysider, who identifies as neuter and uses only a first name, the first in the state to be neither man nor woman in the eyes of the NSW government."

really thats what we should strive for now? just so u can have a third gender spot to run away from the world into? doesn't seem like it would reall yhelp all the real people from those genders with proletarian issues.. more like a bourgeois solution. IMO what u could realy do is something for the working class.

Excellent!

I'm glad to see that human society is still progressing.

Hopefully that will eventually become a standard option around the world.

Very interesting. I'm wondering if people who just wish to be considered androgynous, yet have not gone through any physical alteration to be so, can choose to be categorized as such?

If not, then I think it should definitely be something for people to strive to... post-gender society. That is, biological sex is something that is innate, but gender is really constructed so post-gender is probably one of the most progressive things a society could be in order to liberate people.
