Meh, not that much. The EU forced Italy to legalize civil unions so and yes I agree many guys are handsome but are too annoying because they claim ''straight acting'' and macho bullshit so

How is this Neo-marxist bullshit? lmfao2 Seriously do even know anything about inter*persons? lmfao2lmfao2

If this is applied to hermaphrodites, I‘m all for it but seriously...this is such a rare case.

Aside from that, there is no such thing as a third gender. It would still be everything “not male or female”, automatically exclusive. 

The linguistic prototype (signified) assigned to the term (signifier) “male” or “female” is totally arbitrary if we go by Saussure’s prototype theory. Not everyone has the same associations with those two terms, except the ones that are prescribed by society.

Many people link certain biological traits of a person’s sex to social gender (for a reason that possibly goes far beyond sociology and pychology and is rooted in neurology). Humans recognize a person of a male sex and a person of a female sex. There is no way that is gonna change. HOWEVER, it is our responsibility as educated people to realize that gender can be expressed in numerous ways that do not match people’s expectations.

The reason why this inter and what not bullshit comes up is because people are dissatisfied with the stereotypes assigned to masculinity and femininity. Trans is an entirely different thing because they actually submit themselves to the binary system of gender. The most effective and leadt problematic way to eradicate these binary gender stereotypes is by challenging the way people view them. People should not be classified by their social gender because it’s a construct, not a fact. They should be classified by their biological sex (or the sex they transitioned into) and we, as future teachers, should teach our children that there are numerous ways to express yourself and that your biological sex does not define who you are, what you act like or who you want to love.

Hermaphrodite is a slur. Inter is the correct term. 

Inter is the fitting term. This has nothing to do with society at all. It’s a scientific and biological term for people who are not dertimended as biological male or female. (Genitals or Hormons for example).

the fact that you call our court neo-Marxist for giving those people rights is just sad. As teachers we should teach that inter people exists biologically As well and that is fine. This is nothing  Tumblr came up with or something. And if you followed the decision of the german court you would have seen that the third gender is for inter people.

and that “rare” case is not that rare if you research about it. At least 80.000 people are inter in Germany. And even if it’s rare, does that mean we should treat them as second class citizens?

inter what?

Intersex people are born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies".
