[Misc] How do you describe your gender

[Paul Reids Sock]

I know this has probably been done by the school in order to highlight peoples ignorance of gender and then promote understanding and inclusiveness... but what the actual heck are half those things?

Genderfluid, non binary (is this for computers?), tri-gender (whats the third one?) and Genderqueer are all words I have never heard before and have no idea what they mean. It would also look a bit odd if I search them all on my work laptop

Correct. In Sociological terms:

* Sex = biological
* Gender = Society or cultural perceptions of sex rather than biological
* Sexuality = Sexual persuasion/attraction

This is what I was trying to point out although I probably didn't make a very good fist of it. Thanks.

Belief of this PC sxxt = Mug

*More about the survey than the explanation to be fair.

obviously it is far more important for school kids to be able to box themselves off as the appropriate sexual persuasion than it is for them to receive a proper education.......what a load of old bollox honestly.

corned beef watering can btw....!!

Well, quite, I was just trying to point out the difference.
