My son got banned from PS4 for a week because he didn't accept that there are now 3 genders. (he's 15). Sony Play Station only lists 2 genders when you sign up. All because one 17 yr old was offended by my son for not knowing. I am so sick of this political correctness. I'm sure we've all been offended but didn't have laws changed because of it 

So, what is the 3rd gender called? I still don't know 

I'm pretty sure a man can change a diaper just as easily as a woman.  

What would a Dad do to change a diaper if there wasn't a table in the men's room. Seems totally sensible to me! 

A world full of lawyers ready to sue anyone or anyplace they can for anything they can! 

Yes, nowadays men also parent babies...lol 

Hey Sugarwaffle the 3rd gender is called Trans... For Transgender 

Thanks 

It's discrimination. There isn't one in the ladies room (according to my daughter). Men are having trouble breaking the 'glass slipper' too. Men are being excluded from all the perfume spritzer positions as well! 

NM-It's ok--I appreciate your sense of humor! 

Bruce, I think we've officially turned into old farts :) 

Here is two cents from the so called liberal view. You are on a very slippery slope, when suddenly, you are going to essentially ban transgenders from public bathrooms, by somehow monitoring their sexual organs. They want to be left alone to go to the bathroom of their choice, like they did from the beginning of time.  

I believe the PC term is now 'wrinklies' sugar. Geez. It was an option in spell correct! 

NM, where have I been? Is that what I have been missing not having a tv for a couple of years? I don't listen to mainstream anything.  

Hi Sugarwaffle! The great state of North Carolina banned them, yeah I don't watch tv either, but it's all over the Internet... 

I seriously didn't know that. Sad that happened 

It's a crazy world we live in! Lol 

Funny, Caitlyn Jenner says, "I want to be an advocate for MY KIND!" Hey Caitlyn, I have a message for you! It's backfiring!, lol 

I can't tell you how many times I have mixed up "he" and "she" in 36 years of teaching. Always a very embarrassing moment. 

My one son is a senior in high school. Less than 500 students in whole school. There is one senior born as a girl, now referred to as he with a male name now. I've known this student since kindergarten. I still care as much for him as I did when 5 years old. This student uses the boys bathroom. This student has been accepted by peers. I still use this student's original name by mistake but quickly correct myself. Maybe that's why I don't think this should even be an issue. Everybody has to go to the bathroom. If that was all I had to worry about
