Third gender

Not so fast!

XX or XY are the conventional complement, but some people have XXX, XXY, XYY, XXXX, XXYY, etc

So you'll need to reserve an unsigned int8 for that too

And presumably we're going to need a reference table, and foreign key constraint. This is getting over engineered now

Under sex, just put "Yes please" which is a CHAR(10).

What if you've got all the right bits to be male or female but they are all in the wrong place?

But someone's chromosomes don't indicate how they want to live or more importantly in the office - what toilet they are going to use.

And is the way we label the toilets discriminatory?

Yep.

Might have read it in The Wail but definitely read it in a broadsheet to check it wasn't a wind up - some transsexual took their employer to court over the labelling of toilets as the person was told to use the disabled toilet while going through the stages of transformation.

I can't remember what the outcome was but I was amused as loads of people use disabled toilets anyway even if they haven't got a disability as they are larger so big enough to take medication in without other women staring at you, where you can change dressings and they have needle bins in them.
