General Is this the twilight of democracy?

I don't get that logic. I knew a brother and sister, brother a Nurse, sister a Cop. Normal people.

Let's run with your analogy.

Out of the job/person possibilities, you are looking at 4 total.

Brother = nurse.
Sister = cop.
Sister = nurse.
Brother = cop.

The traditional gender definition (2) would have you think that only the brother could be a cop and only the sister could be a nurse.

Sub out the jobs for masculine and feminine traits and you should see where I'm going with this.

For some public buildings, I need to incorporate three sets of toilets and/or showers. Are you telling me I need to design 78? Or should it be 124 depending on what time of the month?
That is a good question. If you have a cock you go to the mens room, seriously.

All that indicates is the gender role assumptions are flawed, but I see where you're going with it. I'm open to the possibility science will discover there are 74 different gender-indicating enzymes in our DNA or something like that, until then gender may or may not be a self-construct, who knows, I still doubt there's a pedophile conspiracy to sexualise our kids here in the twilight of democracy. It's only political for the right wing, everyone else just doesn't care or is happy to take their kids to sex shows at the library.

Maybe they need to come up with a new symbol that denotes anyone can use it. Like 'the toilet previously known as gender specific'. People will just refer to it as 'the toilet'. The Prince of toilets?
Anyone and anything goes, the Marilyn Manson of taking a dump

Yup, this is pretty much the key argument, as I understand it.

I previously asked Bruce if he believed that Psychology is a science. Bit of a loaded question because of course it is.

Psychology forms alot of objective conclusion around subjective experience. The definition of gender I've been crapping on about falls heavily in this field.

I'll leave this point by saying that I'm really not affected by any of this stuff. I just want people to get along.

My concerns lay with the issues that affect us all. Cost of living, house prices, the Wah's bringing home the cup. You know, the important stuff.

What to one is shit is to another person serious business…

Especially if your a urologist…
"Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through" -my proctologist.

While we're on the subject of taking a dump, I hear a song coming on, James W will understand, it's his favourite topic
