The SNP are telling us there are 24 genders.

It’s embarrassing isn’t it?

Quite disgraceful that they put forward such ridiculous policies, rather than address the real needs of the population - reliable ferry services, roads without potholes, a health service that works, and a high quality education service.

If it wasn't so tragic, it would be amusing.

People may also be “pangender”, documents issued by the Scottish Government’s chief statistician states, meaning a person feels that “their identity encompasses all possible genders at once.”

Ye gods.

I read bigender as big ender.

It’s a load of no nonsense. I couldn’t care less about how people see themselves fitting into 50s stereotypes of so-called ‘gender’. Why do people think anyone else gives a monkey’s cuss about it, so they need to let us know?

To think some people on high salaries have sat around tables in countless meetings, on good salaries, to cobble together this nonsense.

Why indeed Doodledog.

A Scottish Government spokesman said: “The point of the survey is to collect information on the respondents’ trans history and how they would define it. It is therefore important that the survey is designed in such a way that allows that information to be captured.”

🥱

Seriously, who cares about 'that information' ? People who identify as trans are less than 1% of the population.

Ditto DH. He’s an engineer.

Meantime, in the Real World, thousands of parents (however they identify) across Perth & Kinross are struggling to find childcare for the next two weeks because auxiliary staff in schools are going on strike. Why doesn’t the SNP use the money spent on this nonsense towards putting its head down and solving the strike problem??

Hahaha gave me a good laugh. What a bunch of clowns!

I’ve never read such cobblers.

According to MedicineNet there are 72 genders. Unbelievable!!

Who has the time to make them up?

I can’t comment because I’m rendered speechless!

How about affectugender(one of the 72) based on a person’s mood swings.😊?

There are approximately 8.2 billion people in the world, of which there are only 2 sexes, and approximately 8.2 billion personalties, no two of which are a perfect match. That's all this myriad of genders is....personalties. Mostly people who want a special label.

Crackpots

Meanwhile, they are neglecting the people of their country.

Are they saying there are legally (now or going to be) dozens of genders - aren't they just saying that people are using many ways to describe their own gender?

Does anyone have a link please to the actual text?

Gosh me too ☺️

Desperate for attention, desperate to be different or just desperate, there will be more of these next week, month, year . . .

But there’ll still only be two sexes, male and female, no matter whether not you want to specify your particular
mental struggle,
fetish,
fantasy
delusion
or
claim to be different.

I'm with Rosie51 at 23:03:54.

Both the SNP and MedecineNet have got it wrong and are wildly underestimating the number.

Gender is the personal and social perception of the characteristics of a sex, based on how that sex is perceived by a culture or by an individual in that culture. It follows that every single person in the world has their own gender, their own perception of their sex, created by their knowledge of themselves, their observations of other people, and their experiences of the habits, customs and myths of where they live.

They missed out Martian. That's me, ha!ha!

Seriously, is the world turned upside down?
