From here:

Australian passports will now have three gender options – male, female and x.

The new category is only for use by intersex people – who are not biologically entirely male or female.

Trangendered passport-holders – who have changed gender but not had surgery – will be free to choose either male or female, but will not be allowed to select ‘x’.

She said: ‘”X” is really quite important, because there are people who are indeed genetically ambiguous and were probably arbitrarily assigned as one sex or the other at birth.

‘It’s a really important recognition of people’s human rights that if they choose to have their sex as “indeterminate”, they can.’

In Western society, being inter-something is an increasing obsession. Interfaith services commemorating 9/11 were popular and were attended by people who believe that proclaiming their non-adherence to any specific religion is more virtuous than espousing the truth of one to the exclusion of the others. The objective reality that if one religion is true the others must be false, has to be resisted at all costs since that would foster exclusiveness and inequality – the antithesis of the only permitted absolutes, inclusiveness and equality.

As the article notes, it has become a human right to deny objective reality. Thus, to insist on the objective existence of a person’s gender is now gauche: a person’s sex is determined existentially. A person doesn’t behave like a man because he is one, he is a man because he behaves like one: behaviour precedes essence.

What next, I wonder: an interspecies category for those whose sexual excess is behavioural evidence of their being rabbits?
