Australian group calls for 'intersex' gender
2008-12-07
Australia's official human rights watchdog wants a third gender called "intersex" to be created for use on official documents like passports and driving licenses, a newspaper report said on Saturday. The new gender would be another legally recognized option alongside male and female.

#12  When intersex couples strike up a conversation would that be considered intercourse? And if done in public?

#10  Isn't the 'third' sex supposed to be -none-. Anyone claiming to be anything except male or female should be required to have an operation and accept their new classification. Eunuch.

#9  I think "Other" would suffice.

#8  'Intersex', is that the kind of sex that slips between the cracks? Also, what does one wear to the intersex coming out party and who would want to watch. Is sex really that important when getting drivers licences and passports? Do I really need to know the sexual orientation of the driver who rear-ended me? Oops, bad example. Maybe that would be helpful.

#4  I wonder what the new bathrooms will look like. And where they'll put them. And what the signs will look like. Maybe something like this?
