Too late Mario, it already has been banned. It's been suggested that they portrayed a gay couple.

I have seen two kids, one of each gender, grow up gay. Even in lower primary school it was quite obvious that these kids were confused with the opposing forces within their body.
It is so very wrong of us more fortunate beings to shame, judge and call gay people names for something over which they have absolutely no control.

I don’t see anywhere that I judged that in any way shape or form or made any derogatory remarks.

Was the comment a general one or one based on my post?

Someone cannot biologically be a them/they, they are a He or She - just look in the front of your pants and there’s the answer

Feeling the drive to be more feminine/masculine I can understand, or to not choose to be dominant in either, I can understand.

Dressing to suit your preference, can understand.

Being attracted to people of other/same/both genders, I can understand.

Choosing and insisting on defining as something that doesn’t exist - that’s just curiously odd.

The rest of it - identifying as a toaster etc - that’s mental illness being normalised and that opens itself to an whole heap of potential issues in the future.

Well most certainly if a Warranty Claim is involved.

General Mike, because you touched on the subject emotively, I offered the scientific evidence that it isn't a lifestyle choice.
