'X' now an option on Australian passports

I think "None of the above" would have worked just fine......

 

Of course that categorization discriminates against those who demand "All of the above" be the third choice.

 

"Yes, please."

 

human, or not.

 

That's like the question on the medical forms, SEX?
I keep answering "Yes, Please"

 

Lol!

 

This could give a whole new meaning to:

The X-Men

 

apparently no longer men. x-its.

 

X-Xes

 

That's easy. The answer is the opposite of "Are you married?"

 

....and when they ask about Race:

"No - I'm not a speeder"

 

Good on ya, Australia. It's about time sexuality was officially recognised as a spectrum.

 

ound:

 

Personally... I believe they got it right down under...

There IS more than just two genders of humans.

Why make the people that aren't one or the other of the perfect X or Y chromosome, say they are something they are not.


Good Job Aussies. :yo: :first:

 

Let's back the truck up here. The only justifiable reason for even having the information on the passport is for purposes of identification, similar to height, and eye color. Given that, we are talking about outward appearances here (i.e. not mindset). So really, in order to be useful* the information should be breast cup size, and presence or lack, of penis and vagina. Since I can't imagine any scenario, where forcing people to expose those regions for identification, given that it only reduces any uncertainty in that identification by the merest smigdeon, should be tolerated in a free society, we are left with no reason to require the information to be present on the passport at all. And we can get the governments out of the business of regulating sexuality.

*- from a security standpoint, information which can increase the confidence given to a false piece of information can be worse than total lack of that information.

 

How do we decide which line to send them through at airport security? Come to think of it, I would prefer to be frisked by a woman than some hairy guy.

If you think indicating 'gender X' is controversial, imagine the outcry over stating bra size. And for something completely outrageous, imagine charging according to the combined weight of passenger and luggage.

Have you been on an international flight lately? This is not a free society. As for exposing ourselves, TSA agents get to see 'Snakes on a Plane' all day, every day.
