I guess that the solicitors are going to make a fortune out of this.
Just image, as an example now someone will come with the idea to ask to have a 3rd public toilet for the "neutrals"

When we went to the Queens silver Jubilee celebrations, our ship called in to Antwerp. After a few beers at a corner store type setup, I asked where the toilet was. Was shown a set of stone stairs, down to the basement. So far, so good. I noticed, as you do, no doors on the cubicles. No lid on the toilets, but for someone used to the Squat toilets of Asia, no worries. Then realised, there was only one toilet area. Sitting down, was surprised to see two women [ yes, real ones] come down, and as there were only two cubicles, one stood in front of my cubicle, waiting........ staring, ....a most uncomfortable moment. Not as uncomfortable as my mate, who ,while standing at the urinal, was joined by a ' woman' , quite a looker, who proceeded to relieve her/him/it's/self, and turned to my mate, saying in a deep seductive voice 'HI' . We had a few more beers, had chat to some locals, then moved on , both with the thought ' these Europeans are a funny mob'. Bob

You don't see any of that out here....I don't think it fits in with real people getting on with life, working in cow **** or fencing or putting in a crop or getting one out or working in mines black faced or loading trucks by hand. The blokes look at the girls and the girls look at the blokes and after work at the pub theres only 2 doors.....neutral would be the furthest thing on anyones mind. Yeah I'm with you Chucaro. FFS what is going on?

Very different times.
Quite often on abc or sbs there are sex/gender related shows and they go through these sort of things.
They are quite interesting.

Were his brother lives ?

Took a bunch of 15-16yr old kids down from Prosvegas to Brisbane a few years ago. Arrived at Roma Street train station about 7pm, walking down the tunnel, one of the boys suddenly points at a couple, and yells out (top of his lungs) 'Those two men are kissing!'

Yet, even in Proserpine, we had a town Transvestite for few years there. Not that he bothered to shave his legs, and to be honest, the sandles and tank top didn't really go with the miniskirt. He didn't even bother shaving his beard off most of the time.

But, yes, there are all sorts, even some who don't fit neatly into box a or box b, either for psychological, physiological or genetic reasons. I also don't doubt that the 'there's no pooftas in the country' attitude contributes to the high suicide rate out here.

I just wonder if it is possible for a person who medically is physically and psychologically androgynous to not have any sexual inclination or desire.
What happens if the person born like that.
Can we categorize this person ?

There are a whole range of syndromes and conditions where people may have malformed, or undeveloped genetalia or other developmental problems associated with the sex chromosomes, along with levels of hormones that are not what you may consider normal.

Here's but one example
[ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome"]Klinefelter syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]

With the rate at "1-2 subjects every 1000 males in the general population", so likely to be some in Emerald, for example.
