Hmmmm, “they”want us to accept them for who they are now, yet they can’t accept themselves for who they were born as.

Probably not the biggest deal in the world at the moment but it's certainly something I never ever considered before or can see any great benefit of.

I honestly cannot see any rational reason for this .More likely will cause potential confusion if a name like these 128 below (see link) that can be for male or female. I bet there's more. Eg .. Mr . Madison Smith or Mrs/Miss Madison Smith now will be just Madison Smith , differentiated only by a middle name.

What a hoot it'd be if at some time in Queensland or any other State that follows like sheep when a middle name matches up too.

Bloody political correctness will drive us round the bend eventually .

My nipper said with the concept of a time machine, if she could take part she would love to go into the future and I said I would like only to go back if anything and warn people that our future is insane, to the point of being totally ridiculous beyond belief.

I could imagine telling people about what the year 2018 will be like, back before the 1990's, to express such you would get locked up in the lunatic ward or punched out for spreading depravity concepts.

Pretty sure my licence is due this year.
I think I'll ask them to put gender on mine and see what happens.
