Great News Out Of Germany! Equality Wins!

There have been "androgynous" individuals for a long time. My son was androgynous looking, since birth. People couldn't figure out if he was a male or a female. He struggled with this, especially as a teenager. He even resorted to wearing womens clothing at times. This changed when he met the love of his life, though. There is a difference between being androgynous and hermaphoditic though. Androgynous people have the balanced looks of both male and female characteristics, Hermaphrodites have both sex organs. This is a rare occurrance. However, as this article points out, it is difficult for the parents, to determine which sex to put down on the birth certificate. It is for this reason, that the government has made it easier for parents of these kids to fill out the gender part. This is a big step forward, because it will cut down on discrimination for such individuals. They are free to choose which sex they wish to emulate, without embarrassing themselves at airports and check stations.
