South Korean Human Rights Commission To Offer More than Four Different Genders on Official Documents

It will be interesting to see if the use of over four different genders spreads throughout other government agencies in South Korea:

The state-run human rights watchdog is set to add a non-binary gender option in official petition documents in a move to embrace lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) people.

The National Human Rights Commission of Korea (NHRCK) will be the first government organization to offer a gender-neutral option in official papers. 

“After recently receiving a petition urging us to allow a third-gender option in our petition documents, a relevant department reviewed it and reached the conclusion that this was permissible,” said an NHRCK official.

“We are now working to change our petition forms to reflect the decision, and new documents will be available within a month.”

Currently, those who file petitions with the commission must identify themselves as male, female, transgender male or transgender female in their applications.

“We accepted the petitioner’s claim that there could be more than the four genders,” the official said.

You can read more at the link, but at least there is not 71 different gender options yet. Can you imagine what government forms would look like with 71 different gender options on them?

Why do so many people want the government in their bedrooms?

There is only one gender.

Women are property.

CH, are you evading the question?

I mean, regardless of how one chooses to express their “passion”, do any of us really want the government inspecting, detecting, or molesting what’s goin’ on?

I mean, think of a Joe Biden copycat Civil Servant gettin’ friendly with you…

“Ain’t nobody got time for that…”

I LIKE government in my bedroom.

I can’t even fap properly without thinking of Joe Biden giving me a cuddle.

Has anyone thought this through? Beyond the human designations, how do we refer to cows and bulls? Doe and buck? Rooster and hen? How do we intelligently visit a zoo anymore knowing the information placards at the front of a display are not appropriately expressing how the animals might be feeling about their gender expression? After all, what’s good for the goose…

I LIKE government in my bedroom.
Sounds like a catchy campaign slogan for Kamala Harris. 😆
