Thread: I cannot keep up

It's rather strange when we hear about the differing behaviour of people from other countries and how they differ from us over here BUT you know I would much rather it out in the open than hidden in the closset as it was when I was a young bloke!!! WAKE IN FRIGHT I think was the name of the movie remember--{no poofters out here]

This is not new, only the awarness of it is for some.
People who are transgender, gay, gender neutral, etc have been part of human society as long as there have been humans.
Its only the culture in which these individuals find themselves in that is the thing that changes.

well said Uncle Ho

I think that my original post have been misinterpreted and I do not blame any one, it is my "spanglish"
I do not have any problem with guys or people with neutral gender.
My concern was what the heading of the news said quote:
A Sydney court ruling which allows a person to be registered as gender-neutral could potentially have legal implications around Australia.
For that reason I put as a tongue in cheek the example of the public toilets.
How we are going to accommodate facilities and administration issues among other things without discriminate people with different social values in our society ?
What will be the cost?
What was the meaning of "potentially have legal implications"

Unisex toilets?
No. That won't work. How do you deal with the seat issue?

We're all human!

There's a club in Sydney (The Argyle) with unisex toilets, the cubicle doors are frosted glass and the individual urinals are a frosted glass semi circular shape reaching just above waist height so as a fellow pees he faces the hand washing area. It is all conspicuous enough that no funny business could go on unnoticed, but private enough to keep private parts private. It's great.

Think I'll be relieving myself elsewhere.

The more of this sort of stuff I read, the less I want to visit a city again!
