Gentlemen, Honorary Gentlemen, things have taken a giant leap forward. To where, I don't know, but it's a leap none-the-less.

Certainly a subject of massive discussion, but for now, if he/she chooses to be genderless and the government will acknowledge it, then thats a good thing.

And keep it a discussion, thank you all. I ask the mods that if it's gets too insulting that it be locked.

Wait, if women are from Venus, and men from Mars, if s/he is either one nor the other, that make him/her from Earth, making the first official Earthling in the whole metaphor! Whoa, cosmic. *ponders*

Entity is not A or B, so it must be C.

Of course, unless there's a D. Or an E. Or, for that matter, an F.

Or even a G! That's crazy.

Edit: My word, the thought crossed my mind that an H might even exist! My theories are sure getting radical, golly gosh gosh golly.

Which room does the genderless one enter if s/he's in a pub or the cinema or something?

Who pissed in your cornflakes? It was a (rather clever) riff on a popular phrase, not a credible hypothesis of evolutionary cosmology.

Sorry. In an irritable mood at getting ill twice in a row now, right when it's crunch-time for handing work in on my course, and letting a lot of people down because I'm practically housebound, again. Mix that with a few years of being picked up on every bit of false logic I use and it's practically a personality disorder.

So... are asexuals attracted to her? Or... it? This is getting kind of confusing, even if it is an achievement... of sorts.

Confusing is right. The public toilet question was a legitimate one, as is the question of the proper pronoun. I mean fair enough, I respect the right for a person to re-assign themself to whichever gender identify he/she/it is most comfortable with. But isn't this just being bloody awkward? Does this person intend to correct strangers every time they address the person as "sir" or "madam"? And what would that correction be? What about official forms, where there's only a checkbox for "Mr", "Mrs" or "Miss"? The whole thing just seems to invite a myriad of day to day problems.

Pix: That's fair enough mate, and I'm sorry to hear that things are rough right now. But try not to take it out on folk on here, would you?

...I honestly thought (before watching the clip) you were quoting Blackadder II, episode 6... >_<

Ok. Hello, LG's Mind? Could you please stop frolicking so freely and happily in the gutter? I'm getting tired of trying to scrub and bleach you every day from the filth you pick up. Thanks.

Funnily enough I was just filling out an online form today, and it had a pulldown selection for title. The list was extensive:
Mr
Mrs
Ms
Miss
Dr
Father
Hon
HRH
Lady
Lord
Lt
Rev
Sgt
Sir
Capt
Prof
Mdm
Maj
Comdr
But unless May-Welby has a profession with one of these honorifics, there's no option suitable.
