Reply to: Not politically correct census question

[mallisarealperson]

Maybe the idiot who designed the form missed it off. Like those who make forms that cannot handle a space in your postcode?

As my good friend used to say - if my aunty had bollocks she'd be my uncle. Oh wait...

Not in 2021

What if they don't identify as either, which is far more trendy these days?

And what about those who don't identify as humans but other animals eg. Cats (like me) or even Fictional Creatures like Elves.

Where do you draw the line??

Animals can have different genders (apparently). So you can identify as a cat but the cat you identify as has a gender.

If your child identifies as a girl, then she's a girl, even if born male.

You're missing the point, and have completely derailed the thread by the look of it with all that gender identifying crap.

AFAICS, the OP was simply asking why the form asks the sex of biological offspring but not for adopted children.

But he said it was cis-centric - that's the point I tongue in cheek described as transphobic. No point missed, thank you. And yes, it is a bit odd. (Although it's not about adopted children, it's step children -adopted children are legally sons and daughters).

[OwlHoot]

Oh dear. You transphobe. If your child identifies as a girl, then she's a girl, even if born male. Not cis-centric at all.

Or, more likely, they're collecting important demographic information, where identity politics has no say.

FFS you are all being "woke"

Not exactly.
But I do strongly believe that people should be free to so whatever they want, with whoever they, whenever they want, and do to their own bides whatever they want. And not be abused, harmed, or otherwise prevented, except where it prevents another person from doing all the above (except during a pandemic as that would be stupid).

Jennifer whatever her name is, who sued the waxing place for refusing to wax her balls was bang out of order.

The 6' 90kg cyclist who was born a man, still shaves and beats women in cycle races is also bang out of order.

Oh I'm sorry. I assumed your post was so dumb that you'd not actually meant it. Unless... this is an intricate double bluff, in which case well done. You got me.

apology accepted.
If only that was more common on social media.

[NotAllThere]

Ahh. You mean that I was wrong. But rather than point that out (which I accept on reflection), you decided to lazily use the tired insult of calling everyone racist/sexist/facist/phobic. You have demonstrated the lack of debate and thought that so-called cancel culture is accused of doing.

A 3rd person living in my house.
It's my daughter.

Option is "son or daughter". Why not "child". Why this cis-centric question.
The option for a stepchild is simply "stepchild". Why does their gender not matter?

dear oh dear.

Is **** an option? that would be your reply of choice
