New mumsnet census has the option of 3 sexes to tick

[IwantToRetire]

Has anyone seen this?

I usually glide over the threads whose titles are in tiny letters, and not sure why this caught my eye.

So I went and this is the second question and the option replies offered:

2. What is your sex?

• Female
• Male
• Intersex
• Prefer not to say

For the love of god!

Intersex! WTF is that!!??

There's no such thing. There are people with DSDs - disorders of sex development. Unfortunately, some people use the misleading term 'intersex' to suggest that it's possible for a human to be neither one sex nor the other.

Not that I'm suspicious or anything, but are you sure this is a genuine mumsnet census and not something spun up for a laugh? Anyone can use Surveymonkey.

I started a thread in Site Stuff about this but it hasn’t gone anywhere.

OK, just seen the thread on FWR. Interesting. I realise I tend to filter out promoted threads....
