Why not have a third gender? Neither Man nor Woman.
This is for the girls here.
I am not going to write a long essay on why to not have a third gender. I think it would be a positive step forward if there were such a cultural and legal third gender in European and American society.
Cultures that have such an institution are all relatively accpting of transsexuals. (you know the usual cultures, Native Americans, Thailand etc.)
Personally I would have no problem with this myself if the results were more practical rights. Beeing seen as legally exactly like a GG is of minor importance to me. For in my mind I am not and never will be exactly like a GG. I was never quite male or female and even when post op still will not be quite exactly female. Given only two choices I choose female, but if there were a third I would go for it.
What do the rest of you think?

I do wonder if this lesser acceptance of transsexuals in European and American society you mention above has got anything to to with that culture beeing predominantly monotheistic/manichean ????
