There you go getting all subtle again. You make it hard sometimes to follow.

I still haven't heard anyone come up with a viable explanation for Other being included in the Gender section of this document

Not Known

There may be a small number of hermaphrodites in the British population - perhaps the answer lies there with the "Other" option.

Why would Hyndburn Homes need to know this

So that they can have Social Services on 24 hour call out?

It must be very confusing not knowing if you need the toilet seat up or down.

My other half solved that problem without the aid of Hyndburn Homes Less

Eunochs could also tick the other box I suppose -but would you want people from the council to know, that is the question...

Well to my way of thinking when your born it says on your birth certificate your gender, either Male or Female, didn't know they had come up with another category, even the PC brigade

No doubt it will turn out to be yet another Tory tax fiddle.

Maybe someone from Hyndburn Homes could enlighten us.

It's a simple enough question, which we know you have the answer to.

What percentage of residents of Oswaldtwistle who consider themselves to be neither male or female are satisfied with the roofing repairs you carried out?

And a couple of supplementaries.

Is this percentage in line with your targets, and if not, what do you propose to do about it?

Could be transgender? Although why they want to know I've no idea, other than perhaps to provide stastistics and to tick some box required to prove that they are meeting diversity targets.

My problem is this, on a birth certificate it says Male or Female, until the word other appears why is there any need for anything else.

I would like to think that if any parent ever tried to register their baby's birth as 'other', the little mite would be taken straight into care!
