Guidance makes trans people a third sex

There seems to be outrage this morning that the guidance is making trans people a third sex.

I am puzzled. We are frequently lectured that sex is really complicated and people who don't have more than a GCSE understanding of it shouldn't comment. We are told it's not binary because people don't fit nearly into those categories.

So why all the outrage about third spaces? 🤔 Won't they be great for non binary people and all the gender fluid people who say they are male one day and female the next?

It’s interesting and amusing, that they, Jo Mo for one , are admitting there are only two sexes

It is the logical conclusion though. If a person born male has chosen to transition, and is adamant that they are not male, and biologically they certainly aren't female, then they must be a third sex.

They sound like spoilt children yelling 'I want you to tell me I am female and I'm going to scream and stamp until you agree with me".

In future all buildings should have three loos, male, female and other. Then everyone is safe and there is no confusion.

It is indeed a conundrum.

Almost as though they need to continue to find something to complain about, because... snot fair... they don't want us to exist...snot fair... <stamps foot> because...because.... reasons.
