ftmN Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 http://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/22318805/gender-ruling-high-court-recognises-third-category-of-sex/ High Court of Australia has deemed there be a third category for sex gender. After a four-year legal battle, Norrie has won the right to be legally recognised as being of non-specific sex. Norrie, who had been quietly confident of winning the case, says the historic verdict is a big win for the wider transgender community. As insensitive as some of you may think, this is the first thing that came to my mind when I read it, no offense intended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Shouldn't that be 4 types of people , Male , Female , Hermaphrodite and Non specific ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offensive Threat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Shouldn't that be 4 types of people , Male , Female , Hermaphrodite and Non specific ? Well they are Australian.

Warhippy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I identify as human. I don't give a rats ass what you identify a person with poor character is just that regardless of how they want to identify. Everyone wants their privledge and their own rights Yet NOBODY wants the responsibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goat James Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Don't see how this could bother anyone at all. If someone doesn't identify themselves as either a man or a woman then how does that effect you? Let them be neutral if they want to, I don't see why you would care at all...

ronthecivil Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Why even recognize gender if you're the government anyways? Is the Aussie government filling in a online dating profile or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftmN Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I've had a little think about it and decided that I don't like the ruling. You aren't neutral, you are born with either male or female organs and just because you decide to remove or change one of them shouldn't mean you should get your own classification.

Jägermeister Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't understand why people even care what another person classifies themselves as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftmN Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't 'care', I think it's just a bit stupid to have a classification of 'non-specific sex' when you were biologically either born as a man or a woman. 20 years ago the courts would have laughed and dismissed this case.
