Germany Creates Third Gender Option for Official Records
Male, female, or diverse
The science is settled! Until it comes to basic biology.
Wednesday, Germany’s cabinet approved a third gender option for official documents — “diverse.”
ABC News reports:
In November, the Federal Constitutional Court decided that people must be allowed to be entered in records as neither male nor female, ordering authorities either to create a third identity or scrap gender entries altogether.
It ruled on a case in which a plaintiff sought unsuccessfully to have their entry in the birth register changed from “female” to “inter/diverse” or “diverse.” Until now, the only other option was to leave the gender blank.
During a three-year legal battle, the plaintiff provided a genetic analysis showing one X chromosome but no second sex chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes, while men have one X and one Y chromosome. The top court found that authorities could decide to do without any gender identity in civil registers or allow people in a similar situation to choose “another positive designation of their sex that is not male or female.”
Wednesday’s Cabinet decision to add a third gender option, “diverse,” to the register of births requires parliamentary approval.
The center-left minister for families in Germany‘s conservative-led coalition government, Franziska Giffey, said it is “an important step toward the legal recognition of people whose gender identity is neither male nor female.”
In July, a British doctor claimed the NHS sacked him for refusing “to identify patients as being of a sex that they did not see themselves as.”
Increasingly, eastern Europe is accommodating individuals who identify as something other than their biologically determined gender.
Not too long ago I blogged about a tiny movement in the US, the “theybies.” These parents are intentionally raising their children gender neutral with the hopes that they’ll choose however they see fit when they’re ready.
I wrote:
Men and women are different. Biologically and in countless other ways. There’s no harm in acknowledging and appreciating this basic fact of life, there is harm in pretending otherwise.
To the issue of gender identity and whether it’s fluid or even negotiable, I turn to the expert on this — Jordan Peterson.
In a separate interview, Peterson elaborated, explaining that (at least at the time of the interview), he’d heard from 30 transexual individuals, those who’ve gone through transition surgery, and 29 out of the 30 agreed with him.
“The idea that gender identity is independent of biological sex is insane. It’s wrong. The scientific data are not only clear, they’re clear beyond dispute. It’s as bad as claiming that the world is flat, in my estimation. Having said that, there are masculine women and there are feminine men.
…Identity is a set of tools that you use to operate in the world and if those tools don’t function, you don’t have a functional identity. It isn’t just something that you put on because you feel that way, it has to be something that other people know how to respond to or you will become completely alienated.
…It’s narcissistic to the core.”

I hesitate to post about this, because people don’t want to hear it, or hearing it, disbelieve it. I agree what I’m going to write is distasteful, but it’s truthful.
I’m a single female, in my late 50s. In the last ten years, I became aware of, and and acquainted with, men who were abused as children, as very young children. One of them was abused as a toddler and again at about age 12. He was 12 in the 50s.
At age 12, he was actually tortured. I do not mean, like Tommy Robinson, he wasn’t given food, I mean he was tied up and unspeakable things were done to him. He also believes to this day, that he saw another boy his age murdered at that time.
The men I have met who have suffered as these men have, have dissociative identity disorder, which is also known as multiple personalities. They will have alternate personalities. These “alters” will usually be the age at which abuse was endured. Their sexes will differ. Sometimes they are male, sometimes female. They will not all be the same sex. They will have very different personalities. They may not even know the other personalities exist. Sometimes they are in one for a long time, other times they switch back and forth every few minutes. Depends on them and the situation.
I recommend if you know someone suffering from this, http://www.MaleSurvivor.Org. Also Richard Gartner’s book, “Beyond Betrayal, Taking Charge of Your Life after Boyhood Sexual Abuse.” Also, the easier primer I have ever read on it is “United We Stand,” by Eliana Gil.
If you would like further information, I am also CloseTheFed on Gab.Ai.
You can get better. Therapy does help. Good luck.
Much of disordered sexuality can be traced to childhood abuse. But now that we call it normal, research is no longer funded and therapy is frowned upon. It’s tragic.

Only one more?
The LGBTTIQRSTXYZ community will never accept that.
Male and female sex, that correspond to masculine and feminine gender, respectively. Then there is male and female sex, and the transgender (i.e. physical, mental divergence) spectrum. Diversity would ideally be limited to color judgments including racism, specifically, and denying individual dignity, generally.
“Diverse.” Don’t they mean deviant?
Yes, they do. Deviant and/or mentally unwell.
I was going to suggest “Confused” for that third option.
Re: LibraryGryffon:
Excellent suggestion!!!
Cool!
So can you lie about your height and your age, too?
And how about nationality and race? The State might end up owing somebody a lot of Affirmative Action freebies.
“So can you lie about your height and your age, too?”
Sure you can, Muslim invaders lie about their age all the time.
These modern day Khmer Rouge are absolutely out of their mngs.
A mngs is a terrible thing to lose.
I wish the comments section had an edit button.
i think that too sometimes, but then i consider some of the poasters here, and how such a feature could be abused.
the mods here don’t need the extra w*rk, IMHO. live with, and laugh at, the typos.
From the same government that thought it was a good idea to import millions of young, low-skilled Muslim men. Like in the case of Obama, I sometimes wonder if Merkle isn’t trying to destroy her own country.
That’s fantastic. They must have solved all their other problems if they are doing ridiculous things like this.
Germany must be a paradise.
I wonder how long it will be till someone with a claim of multiple personalities starts claiming multiple welfare checks, one for each of the personalities.
I’m sorry, but this is denial of science. This is pushing acceptance of a mental disorder being made out as if it is normal, it isn’t. Sorry if they have a screwed up mind, but this won’t fix it, and I believe it is going make things much worse for all society.
As it is, many college kids, well look at that, there we go again, are fluid in their sexuality, which really means they are just looking for cheap thrills sexually because they don’t feel fulfillment in their lives. Nor in their relationships.
Is it any wonder why more sex dolls are being sold, and sex robots will probably be far more common, to a point where real sex and relationships end up being a thing of the past.
I fear for the future, if there is even going to be one, with this stupid kind of thinking that the left has pushed, all as a distraction to gain power.
Re: OldGoat36
Totally agree, the militant ones, out there for marriage, multiple sexes, etc. Whatever, they’re mentally troubled, they need therapy, and society should have compassion, not destroy civilization in order to humor them.
The ones I know aren’t militant at all. One is just trying to get better and the other is trying to run his business and fuse his personalities, which he seems to have succeeded in doing, after about 3 or 4 years of therapy. The one running his business would DIE if anyone knew he had D.I.D. He does everything possible to hide it, including divorcing 3 times.
Multi personality is so rare that it is almost not real.
In the 80’s , psych hospitals were full of these people, w units were dedicated to treating them, and it was a sham. Just like this gender fluid BS is a sham, and the medical professionals played along with it. It was lucrative for the psychiatrists, and the hospitals, until it wasn’t.
It finally ran its course and you almost never find anyone claiming to be a multi personality anymore.
It was ridiculous then and lridiculous now.
Now psych units are filled with Borderlime personalities, the kind you see in Antifa…
Re: GonzoTx:
Fortunately, it seems to be rare. When a child is abused, they don’t know the ways of the world, and they are afraid to tell anyone. They may be threatened, or they may be beguiled, into staying quiet.
People with D.I.D. don’t want you to know it. They feel like freaks, they’re uncomfortable around people, and are generally recluses. Some are also FANTASTIC actors, which they use to smile so you can’t tell there’s a problem. Some aren’t good actors, and you look at them, and you can tell something isn’t quite right.
It also scares them. They don’t know why they’re switching, until typically, they get therapy.
One habit that some have, is to stay fanatically busy, so that they don’t have time to think about their trauma. Camille Paglia has noted this from time to time, and I noticed once she speculated about why H. Clinton stays so busy…
Another book is “Fractured Mind” by Robert Oxnam. He used to be a U.S. bigwig about China. Jane Pauley – if you remember her – did a blurb on his book’s cover.
i agree that there should be 3 choices:
Male
Female
Mentally Ill
(Pick One)
Hey Kemberlee! Did you read this one on creating new categories for gender identity? It’s classic!

The rise and fall of the third gender. Has a ring to it, ja think?
Male, female, or diverse. Masculine, feminine, or transgendered. The homosexuals will be up in arms if you deny them separate and superior status in the transgender spectrum.
