Sunshine asked for it an now here it is.

'Twas going to be very simple with only two choices. How easy would that have been. But I decided to complicate things a little and in doing so become a little more politically correct. Not!

Sorry but I'm not allowed to vote on this sort of thing without the spouses permission...... "COMING DEAR!!!"

Sorry Neil but you could probably drop off the last two choices as sexual preference does not alter gender. Logically you don't have the many other versions of male/female classifications so these two stand out.
Thank goodness we haven't applied political correctness in our native taxonomy because they have a few twists that humans have yet to evolve to.

I added the last two "choices"..... just in case..... but if you don't like 'em or are afraid of/embarassed by them I shall delete them.

Not bothered by them just pointing out the inconsistency in the classification. In other words being a smart . :)

What about the “I was a male now I’m a gay female” option …

No sorry I should behave, I am an idiot…

According to a recent survey, over 90% of the population is male, the nearly 3% of the population that were female have become male. This is a very worrying trend. Especially for the continuation of the species.

I think we need to have a Senate Inquiry into these alarming statistics.

I think there is something wrong with the results.
Both Ozwinner and Wongo have said they are idiots and I voted that way but the results only show 2 votes.

Perhaps we need another category for those of us that are Complete Idiots?

People with split personalities might find it difficult only being able to vote once.

Perhaps they log in as different people on different days so it might be OK.

Maybe your computer knows different, you know computers dont lie.
Or maybe Wongo and I, only said that we voted for the idiot, because we are Idiots we wouldnt know anyway.
Confused? Me too, I think.

some people i meet have been kind enough to point out that i must be a SHEMAN because i know which end of a hammer to bang them on the head with after they have insulted me and how to bury the body under a DIY consructed deck using the following tools:
"Bloke & Deck-her"
"Mentabo"
"Rio-boy"
"De Walter"
"Mankita"
The critics have been disposed of, dispatched and degendered as seen fit( the deck has been enlarged!!).

I don't understand the question. What are we voting for again?

You've missed out quite a few!

I recall reading of "supermales" and "superfemales", not in the context of the size of their tools, but having additional chromosomes. Not just XY, but XXY or XYY and so on.

There are also "merms" and "ferms", I think. Sounds like something along the lines of geeps (goat/sheep cross) or ligers and tigrons.

At least you don't need an option for "Y" only chromosome, because apparently that doesn't produce a viable human.

Cheers,
Andrew

They don't design software, they have already had that designed for them! :D

I must say some of the answers in this section have been interesting and I just can not resist adding my two cents worth. I am a male research scientist and every now and then you read an article and think my god how little we know.

A woman in the US was in a paternity suit with her ex, in the court case he was proven to be the father but she was not the mother. It turned out that she was actually a chimera of her and an unborn female sibling that merged just after the eggs were fertilised, her reproductive organs were where the others cells dominated. She had two children and only one was hers!!. It now seems that this general phenomonen, women harbour cells from their children for between 15-20 years (and may actually be a lot longer). Children also recieve cells from their mother and they are viable for a long time as well.

So if you are male you have at least some of your mothers cells (ie containing XX chromosomes). There is also the possibility as yet unproven that this can persist accross generations ie grandparents cells as well.

Upshot is that you may think you are you alone, but obviously you are not.

Actually eunuchs were singers. As young boys with soprano voices, their voices were so treasured, that they were castrated so that they didn't loose their voice, never physically reaching puberty.

They were also known as The Castrati.

Didn't Kings and stuff use eunuchs to look after the Queen and princesses, 'cos they weren't gonna get any notions of intereferring with the ladies chastity, or is that just some garbage I saw in a movie?

Iain

Ah Stuart, you are in my little realm now.
Eunuchs were actually the guards of the harems of the sheiks and they were emasculated not castrated.
Some eunuchs have fathered children (the mind boggles, how is it done without the wedding tackle?).
The castrati, proper terminology, counter tenor, were castrated to keep their own high soprano voices and caused great conflict in the catholic church as they did not condone the act of mutilation for whatever reason, but it was decided that these boys performed this act for god therefore it was alright (?).
The modern counter tenor achieves his high notes through proper training and voice control, and not by sitting on the mop bucket.
And to vouch for the sexual preferences of the counter tenor, I have a friend who is one and he is a bloody liability around young attractive women.
Also in Spain they were sought after by the courts and could demand any payment they liked as they were so in favour during the 18th century.

So what you're saying, Iain, is that the boy sopranos had to be orchestrated?

Jackoh, youve always been confused, your not normal, your not hetrosexual, almost certainly not male, and definitely bonkers. Go back to bed and rest and dont worry about ithttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gifhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif

If I go back to bed the mother of our four children and grandmother of eight grand children will probably complain. She keeps telling me what I am but I don't understand as my Dad's still alive and well!
