What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.

World has gone mad

For the last 3 Million years (actually probably more like 2 billion years), we have had males and females, boys and girls- for 100% of our ancestry it's worked well when describing reproductive capabilities and my guess would be 95% for gender, 90% for sexuality, 60% for interest and strength.

Sure it doesn't get everyone 100% correct, heck I relate better to an ethnic group that probably raped my ancestor 800 years ago, but people label me as English - should I be offended? should I force the world to call me Roman? Can I have an EU passport now? When I think about a social group, I relate to cowboys, can I have a Green card so I can live in America?

Anyway - it seems we are about to teach our 5 year olds in school about gender neutral expressions.

No longer is it he or she, it's they or them, no longer will boys go to the field for a game of football, it's soon going to be "those with socks on can go play football" (okay - I'm more for those that want to play, to go play, but imagine the game that's not ageist either, the 5 year olds are going to be badly hurt by the 15 year olds - so generally, to protect the physically weaker, we have age and gender related teams)

I wouldn't be surprised if toilets will soon change labels - 

"hey mum, I just need to use the Theys room"

"sorry soda (aka not son or daughter), I didn't know you were a Theys, I thought you were a Thems"

"No mum, I'm a Theys, no one wants to be a Thems!!!"

Humans have a subconscious automatic "threat detection" system built in from 4 million years of Darwinism. A female will feel a higher risk of harm in a dark ally, from males than female, she would feel a similar condition when playing football against males, maybe even a game of golf.

So I say, let boys be boys if they want to be, and girls be girls if they want to be (not theys or thems)

I agree, and it's only going to get worse.

Of course, there are a lot of people who will attack you for having this opinion, which is more of the same thing you're talking about. Agree with us or we'll invalidate you...Ugh
