27, Option 26 is for people who wish to be identified as a platypus.

I think the only real valid option other than male, female and trans is gender fluid, the rest scream of people wanting to be special little snowflakes.

Jesus...

If Dezzy thinks it's too much, it's definitely too much.

It seems to have been re-adopted by some portions of the LGBT community but god knows... I always took it to be a slur rather than anything else, but I'm sure "LGBTQI" is now being floated around as the new name (I'm not even sure what the I stands for... is it inbetween? Indifferent? Ibexes?)

The whole thing is just tedious, and dangerously undermines the seriousness of actual fights for equality/tolerance. I refuse to believe anyone would actually identify themselves as "young man" as their gender and spend a good, coherent argument telling everyone how that's different to "male".

Intersex

I'm Bi-Gender.

I'm all for allowing more than two standard genders because some people genuinely don't feel like they fit either of them, but 25 is a bit too much.

[Northern Monkey]

I'd say 5 is more than enough.
Male
Female
Wannabe male
Wannabe female
Can't make mind up

What's this supposed to mean

[Firewire]

Male and female are sexes, not genders

[Kizzy]

I'm a FWK (female with kahoonas) (not literally)

[Kizzy]

I can see in as far as a 13yr old may not want to identify as a boy, so the alternative is young man, but yes both are male so... :/

[jennyjuniper]

If this list of choices is aimed at young people, then there should only be three. Male. Female and I don't know yet.

[Calderyon]

What is the point of this? Why mess with kids minds?
