The third sex

The Federal government's Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission wants to create a third sex:

The Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission wants people to be able to change their gender on their passports and driving licences even if they do not undergo surgery.

And transgender lobby groups say that even this does not go far enough and are demanding a fourth legal gender called "other" for people who feel like their gender is indefinable or changes from day to day.

The extraordinary proposals are contained in a discussion paper quietly issued to transgender and transexual advocates by the commission, a statutory body that advises the Government on such matters.

Transexuals I know personally prefer to be recognized as the sex the change into. But why stop there? As Mr Dennis Avner , or Stalking Cat as he prefers to be called has shown, some people are just not satisfied with their species, so perhaps we should give some special legal recognition to such people too.

Anyway, do we have any members of the third and fourth sex in parliment?
