Younger generation — more accepting and understanding.
I’m more interested in who made a fuss about it.
I imagine that would amount to whoever wants to make it a political talking point.
Bigger fish to fry, would be my thinking on the matter, considering the temperature of the universe.
And you're correct.
In my day, you were lucky if you got a stalk of carbolic soap and some one-ply in the school toilets.

BTW — I do agree with your “Be Prepared” stance.
However — I am a woman and few that I knew ever were prepared.
I dunno — maybe a mental thing — you hated when your period came — couldn’t wait for it to be over — just wanted it gone. Didn’t really wanna think about next time.
Unless there was an Oops!

To be honest.
When i go to the toilet.
I have other things on my mind, rather than who or what's there.
As long as there is a free stall, and some unsoiled bog roll, im a happy bunny rabbit...

Sometimes I wish we were Calidris pugnax or "Ruff."
Because if humans were like ruff, there'd be 3 types of males.
They say the species has four genders, but it's all WZ and ZZ chromosomes and a specific decisive supergene that does not affect reproductive function.
Each male has ZZ chromosomes, but there are still 3 different types with distinct reproductive habits.
1. WZ females (top)
2. Independent males, mate the most.
3. Satellite "sneaky" males.
4. Female mimics. ZZ males - who have the plumage and behavior of the WZ female, and mate the least of all 3 types.
Quote:While they share the same ZZ sex-determining chromosomes, the three types are differentiated by a supergene—a significant, specific inversion of a piece of an autosomal chromosome (chromosome 11) rather than the sex chromosomes themselves.
Here is how the three types function:
• Independents (Ancestral/ZZ): These are the typical, aggressive, large, and colorful territorial males.
• Satellites (Inverted/ZZ): Subordinate males with white plumage that cooperate with Independents, determined by one form of chromosomal inversion.
• Faeders (Inverted/ZZ): Rare "cross-dressing" males that mimic females in size and plumage, determined by another form of the inversion.
If only us humans were more like Calidris pugnax, because then transgender behavior would be totally genetic and biological... and everyone could shut up and move on.
So yes, the oft fussed about "men in dresses" are at their very genetics biological males, but their female mimicry at leasts finds an analog (several actually) in the natural world.
Even if its a lot of birds.

I noticed that there were still just two sexes.
Thanks for proving the OP.
You must develop the ability to be disliked in order to free yourself from the prison of other people's opinions.

Of course. Two genders.
Lets try a different bird then?
What separates a hen from a rooster when her left domestic chicken ovary is damaged, diseased, or stops functioning properly?
Does the dysfunctional right one take over, replace her chicken estrogen with rooster testosterone and she becomes a phenotype rooster plumage and all?
Does it become a genetically unchanged WZ trans-rooster that looks like, crows, and starts mounting hens despite being completely incapable of fertilizing any offspring?

She goes into the henhouse and attempts to kill as many eggs as she can until the rooster stops her.

I’m sure glad I don’t have to listen to other inconsequential humans compare me to chickens and tell me what my sex and gender are.
I’m good defining myself without help.

Oh, no no no, thats more a "roostercentic" answer, which is a non sequitur for the trans-roosters.
We need another bird to respond to that one...
The Phalaropes?
The WZ gets all the plumage, and picks the males. Then leaves his pathetic submissive ass with the fucking eggs while she mates with others and flies south.
