"A sign that simply says "UNDECIDED"? "

No no no, haven't you heard the PC term is ambiguous

I have been wondering about something, ever since I saw the women complaining about the word, father, on the birth certificates. Some of those women were actually dressed in men's clothing, sans tie, wearing no make up and a hair cut that could almost be seen on a man. Now, if a man showed up for work in a dress, we would call him a transvestite, so what is the woman, dressed in men's clothing and what is the woman partner of such a person?

Sorry but I have too much to do like bills, mainetenance work, etc., to figure out what or why these "needful things" keep pestering society with. My time is too precious and my leisure time is OFF LIMITS.

When this cancer of liberalism finishes its course and America is left worse off we will look back on these days and say, "What the heck were we thinking!"

"..he wants to be a lesbian. He likes girls..." Good grief--couldn't he like girls as a man? Makes no sense, but the whole transgender scene makes no sense. I've seen a couple in the women's bathroom during intermission at a theater--they Had to be transsexual--looked like crossdressers, which maybe they were.

Any company that has a "diversity officer" is obviously run by lawyers. And I would think that people who are confused by something as simple as "gender identity" would not be able to do complex work in a high-tech company.

When the guy gets it cut off, gets a faux vagina (which he has to daily and manually keep open -- why, oh why, did I have to learn that? former hairdresser's ex did that) and gets a set of breast implants, he is STILL merely a gelding.

I can't, for the life of me, come up with a word to describe a woman who her boobs chopped off and gets her clitoris turned into a faux penis. She STILL doesn't have testicles.
I wonder if they stitch up her uterus and take out her Fallopian tubes and ovaries.
Freak? Wobbly Willie? Limp Linus? Pecker Paula? Ball-less Wonder?

You know, I have seen what happens to these folks when they age.
If they are geldings, they don't end up looking like old women. They end up looking like old MEN, balding, extra hair in nostrils and ears, bushier and bushier eyebrows and stomachs sagging in the middle. Their bodies seem to revert to old MAN.
I have NOT seen a woman-turned-man in the old person stage....yet. Yuck.

A friend and I were at an 'Outback' restaurant one time, and he came back from the men's room telling of two sets of feet, facing the same direction, in one of the stalls. We waited to leave just long enough to see who it was -- it was two of the kitchen staff.

No kidding, imagine them getting the color codes and wiring all mixed up.
