Canada to add third gender option in government surveys

Canada will soon recognize new gender options on its formal government surveys, paving the way for an overhauled census and a recognition of the need for greater inclusion in its statistical models.

In future data collection – including the 2021 census – respondents will find a new question on gender identity. Instead of just male or female, respondents will be provided with a third option, which they are asked to indicate how they identify.

You found it before I could. Good one.

I thought there was an “It”, but got blinded by “Spot” under the stairs.

The ruling class is comprised of evolutionary pagan humanists, thus behind the proliferation of multiple ‘genders’ awaits the pagan ideal: the two-in-one, or androgyne.

I have to say the social conservative side of my brain says male or female, but the libertarian side says, up to each individual how they identify themselves in society.

I am not confused about my gender but perhaps it is overly presumptive to say that nobody else should be.

Anyway, we have a male feminist prime minister so I suppose a third gender is inevitable. However, any American who thinks most Canadian men are milquetoasts compared to themselves just obviously hasn’t been up here (outside the cities), our pick-up trucks and our hats are at least the equal of your own. And have you ever seen Canadian women wandering the streets looking for a good man? Thought not.

We even go into wars at the start when they’re toughest (ooh now that’s going to leave a mark).

They can call the third one “Pat”.

To think that that hilarious skit from SNL just a few years could not even be aired today makes me sick.

In actuality I see no reason why they could not have a third option.
I just don’t see a need for any others at all.

WE COULD just check the third one in revolt just to destroy the whole accuracy of the survey.

So are there going to be Olympic events solely for the third option?

This is why liberal women should have no right to vote nor have power to govern. Trudeau was elected because women thought he was “hot” and is male feminist and Muslim apologist.

Since they’re allowed to lie in a survey, results should be invalid.
