SNP Says There Are 24 Genders

Scotland’s SNP Government has said there are 24 genders in a list of options attached to official guidance for data collection bodies. The Mail has more.

Scotland’s SNP Government has been branded “disconnected from the real world” after allowing people to choose their gender from a list with 24 options.

Trans people in the country can choose from options including some more mainstream options like “trans man”, “trans woman”, “genderfluid” and “androgynous”.

But among the two dozen options are other terms like “questioning”, where they do not yet know what gender they are, and “autigender” which is described as “an autistic person (who) thinks about and relates to their gender label… in the context of autism”.

The list was attached last week to guidance for public bodies in Scotland who collect data on sex and gender. It allows them to classify freehand answers given to questions about trans status.

But it comes after First Minister John Swinney in July confirmed there were only two genders.

There is no such thing as gender in biology, it is applicable only in language.

If Humans have “genders” so do tulips and goldfish.

Freakery and the absurd should be isolated at the margins where they belong – not in the mainstream.

Does that second line mean the Mail has more genders?

FB has way more, but let these loonies claim whatever they want, what they can’t change is reality, and in the end that wins!

So, Scotland has many more genders than it has ferries that work! And of course they have more genders than the number of senior SNP people who’ve been arrested in the hunt for the missing £600k! Very encouraging to know that the SNP are getting their priorities right, and being good custodians of English taxpayers’ largesse….

I’m not really sure what people by mean by “gender” and I am not sure they do either, but whatever “gender” is, it’s not really for government ministers to “confirm” how many there are. Perhaps he means “legal genders”, conferring access to toilets, which prison you go to – presumably based on your biological sex as hopefully recorded at birth and optionally overridden by some kind of “sex change” legal process they presumably have. If there are now 24, they either need to build some more prisons and toilets or categorise all 24 as either male or female (or both maybe?) which makes a nonsense of saying there are 24…

What gender is the campervan, I wonder?

Maybe ‘owner fluid’?

Is the campervan a converted tranny?

A view of the treasonous Labour Party and its underhand but clearly blatant intentions to take us back to the EU and if they destroy the country in the process, all well and good.

Perhaps it is just a Scottish thing? Back in the 1950s, when I was first being taught about the natural world, I was told that there are two sexes, male and female and that they are necessary for the propagation of the species (although some plants can be self-fertile). When it comes to gender, there are three genders, male, female, and neuter, and that gender is a grammatical construct. I was also taught not to confuse sex and gender; always to keep the distinction between natural, biological sex, and the abstract grammatical use of gender. What has happened? Is it that we now have so much relative wealth that more and more people do not have to worry about finding shelter and food and are able to let their febrile minds wander into areas where they are poorly educated and come up with ridiculous ideas?

I totally agree with you that gender is a grammatical thing, but it is masculine, feminine and neuter. Male and female are exclusively descriptions of someone’s sex.

I love the word ‘genderfluid’ – it’s just a punchline waiting for its own (rather puerile) joke to arrive.

I have a question:
When you get asked whether you are female, male, other or prefer not to say, which box do you tick?
I am thinking maybe ‘prefer not to say’? The minute they introduce the ‘other’ category they have lost me.
Or should I just tick the ‘female’ box?

The SNP/Greens in Hollywood are a deviant cult..yes I spelled that correctly! Pandering to the mentally ill hoping for votes, educating primary school age children in deviant sexual practices. In a country where pubs didn’t open on Sundays, everything stopped at midnight on Saturdays, pubs stopped serving at 10.00 pm during the week,no ferries on Sundays, no shopping, no music or singing or dancing in the Western Isles…yes this was how we were just 55 years ago. 24 ‘genders’ ? we are doomed.

SNP are clearly not being inclusive, by reducing the number of genders to just 24. Don’t they even attempt to keep up? According to http://www.medicinenet.com there are 72 genders – other than male and female. Nobody knows what they are of course but never mind, just humour them.
