If a woman who used to be a man has sex with a woman who used to be a woman is that considered gay or straight?

A forumer’s kid identifies as gender fluid, using they/them pronouns.

Yes, “they” can be singular. If someone’s car cuts in front of you, it’s fine to say “they cut me off!” So there.

one of our friends kid identifies as male though they are not biologically. My friends are having problems with this but allowing their child to express themselves. I think this is the best we can hope for.. if not Toal acceptance, then at least allowing the child to express themselves.

I have no problems with gender fluidity.

Other than…

…if you wake up tomorrow and decide that you’re a bit more female than male today (or vice versa), or that you’re exactly 50/50, then don’t expect me to be a mind-reader and to treat/refer to/attend to you accordingly and get all sniffy about it.

I know, it’s not a day-to-day thing, but you see what i mean.

I’m interested Arts. How old is the child? I’ve got some concerns with pre pubescents, because I don’t think you can know what will happen when the hormones kick in.

Ta. Body still settling.

I don’t have a problem with prepubescents making choices like this.. like anything though, I would prefer if any surgery isn’t done until adulthood.. however, I wonder if the body dysmorphia is distressing..

Attack of the Redneck Spider float is a satisfying one.

I think a lot of people don’t give youth enough credit, that they really understand. Legally we have Doli incapax but I’m not sure the legal system is always correct..

It’s hard to understand gender fluidity if you’ve always felt like you belong in your body.

Had to look up Doli Incapax.

There is a difference between not prosecuting kids, and not insisting that they act in accordance with their allocated gender though.

>The federal government’s controversial religious freedom bill has also attracted concern among some people who fear it will lead to discrimination against LGBTQI people.

Jane Marsden, who marched as part of ‘‘A Cock in a Sock in a Shock Jock’’ float, which is taking aim at Alan Jones, said she believed the bill was an attempt to counter the rights won under marriage equality laws.

“It is designed for conservative right wing Christians with tools to exclude LGBTQI people from healthcare and education,’’ she said. “That’s why it’s a worry.”<

There’s such a thing as “inclusiveness overload”. Keep the conservatives, cops and christians* out of it, I’d say. We don’t need to celebrate our traditional enemies.
