Should We Create A Third Gender?
116 Answers
Given all the controversy over the transgender issue and whether or not men who self-identify as women should be allowed to use women’s facilities, should we establish an accepted third gender as I believe some other countries have, and allocate those people separate spaces?

Ellipsis //What do you really want?
For the world to be a better place for women, for men, for everyone ...//
That is what all the world's dictators have always shouted, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao et al.
What you espouse is an IDEOLOGY, if anyone is looking backwards it is you old son.
There are many problems in this world is facing & which need sorting out, transgender issues are rather low on the list.

The argument about the whys and wherefores does nothing to address the problem. The fact is there are people who want to be identified in whichever way they choose. Those people then fit into neither of the standard categories - ie male or female - but nevertheless wish to be treated as male or female - which realistically just isn’t viable, not only because they are not what they claim to be, but more importantly in some instances the choices they make and the expectations they have have been demonstrated to prove dangerous to them and to others. If we want to accommodate their foibles we have to find a solution - and treating them as ‘men’ or ‘women’ isn’t it - because they’re not.
As an aside, not only am I appalled that in sport, men are being allowed to compete in women’s events as women, but I was quite shocked to read here that crimes committed by trans women are added to female statistics. Whatever these people want or demand that simply cannot be right.

And is pixie still banging on about Criminal trans people? Does she know not all trans are criminals yet she's using only the statistics of the criminals to judge the entire community
it's like using statistics about men or women only from prisons. It's a dumb idea because not everyone has a criminal mindset.
it's actually incredibly offensive

One other issue is the framing of the discussion. By referring to trans people using such words as "wishes", "foibles", "choices", etc., it betrays a lack of understanding of transgender people and what makes them trans in the first place. It seems to me that it would be better to start by addressing that, and by trying, sincerely, to understand transgender people rather than write them off as if they were acting on a whim.
Naomi your post isn't about sports.
I think a male is more likely to assault a trans woman than a trans man is to assault a woman.
I think it's more dangerous for a transman to be in the males than it would be for a transwoman to be in the females but Naomi and Pixie don't care about that because they can only think about themselves.

I don't think that is what is being implied here, people are what they are & have to get on with it, but what is disagreeable is the demand by an extremely small group* that society should change quite drastically to accommodate their whims.
*Stonewall claims 1% of the population, but I'm certain that that is a large exaggeration of the true figure. The estimate in the US is 0.3%

"Some parents have a child, do not reveal the sex and say, when the child is old enough let it decide what gender it wants to be."
I don't think that happens at all actually bud. for a start the sex is not the gender. parents wont deny the sex in which their child was born. What they might decide is instead of dressing it in pink or blue they choose yellow or green.
it doesnt damage the child in any way get educated before you spout this nonsense
