Hi Alan, this is actually a shorten version that I changed slightly. Do you know Gervais mini series "After life?" there's an episode in which a character, an adult grown man, says that he's a little girl. I know this is going too far perhaps. But so is the role of comedy. I still think the problem is not in the pronouns, like I explained. They will only divide society more than unite it. The problem lies in giving certain characteristics to the gender male and female. Only when society could go past those standards will ever people feel comfortable in being whatever they want to be. But, even if I'm from the left and progressive, I don't think this is the way and I believe I have given some real reasons why. Unfortunately you are also right. perhaps I should have written a shorter version to a different audience. People are getting way to lazy to read and even more to think. Thanks for reading me.
