Gender diversity has existed in many cultures across history but unfortunately religion tries to suppress this fact.

Even for physical gender there are people who are intersex (about 1.7% of the population) and don't fit neatly into the binary concept of gender. I believe the Algerian boxer Imane Khelif could have been one.

If this drags out, I wonder what the Liberals next move will be? Declare a national emergency? When it's over, Air Canada will be looking for another bailout.

Yup - pretty much everyone and anyone I encounter nowadays who are triggered by the non binary gender crowd are, typically, deeply religious. IMO, who the fuck cares how they roll, they ain’t hurting’ nobody except the bent out of shape followers of the invisible man in the sky.

I don't care about gender - have at it, whatever floats your boat. However, I have 3 things about gender issues that I completely disagree with:

1. No transgender men in female sports - it's completely unfair. Make another category for transgenders so they can complete with their peers. Women compete with other women, men compete with other men, so why not transgenders competing against other transgenders.

2. No gender changing therapy or treatment for kids under the age of 16. Kids under that age don't know what the fuck they want and shouldn't be able to make such a life changing decision. Hell, it's the same as driving under age or drinking under age - there is a reason for laws against such things, and the same should go for gender changing treatments. Don't even get me started on teachers encouraging kids to gender change and keeping it a secret from the parents - who the fuck do these teachers think they are.

3. No transgender persons that were born with a penis, should be allowed into women's washrooms or change rooms. I definitely wouldn't want my grand daughter changing in a room with a person with a penis between his (it's) legs.

Other than that - go on with life and be happy.

I agree with you on 1 and 2 Expat (even would say 18), not so sure on on 3 though.

What's the worry, that's some pervert will pretend to be a transgender and assault little girls in the washroom?

Also, I am using abnormal in the strictest scientific definition of the word.

That is exactly what I worry about, and not a pretend transgender either.
