I was really put off by the Census form.
The things it chooses to include and not include were mind boggling. I just don't understand where it was coming from.
I would like to again note that there are more than 2 genders in the world and the fact that the only choices are male and female make me wonder where any data of the transgender community comes from.
And I do appreciate those little moments where people fill in the blanks with things like "human" or "jedi" or "ninja turtle." But the Census isn't going to take it seriously. And makes me think, what can we do to fix it?
Part of me wishes that we could all just be labeled as being HUMANS but another part of me wonders if there's a better way to celebrate diversity than physicall segregating ourselves.
I doubt we'll ever see something like that in our time because this is still a christian state. Sad to say but people may tolerate the LGBT community on a small level but not on a larger level. This is why we're still fighting for guy rights. people can have fun with though, write in transgender, check both boxes, or pick whatever gender they feel they are. our we could make up something like hobbit to put under gender for the census to replicate australia... maybe writing transgender would be better for the gay rights movement lol
