Burn. Nice one mod.
Ha! Beat me. I wondered how the comment vanished before I put in a reason. Your reason was kinder than the effort I would have given it though. Bravo.
Yeah righto, cunt. I really don't think you gotta worry about 99.5% of the population writing in "piss off mate" on their census forms, and as far as the government's concerned, having accurate demographic data is actually very useful for allocation of funding.
I'm also curious as to what exactly you think the "identity game" you mentioned is.
At any rate, you're factually incorrect about gender and sex being specific in their definitions. They're both just bullshit abstract categorisations made according to a vague set of values from across a nebulous grouping of criteria. And unless you arbitrarily mangle their "specific meaning" beyond any utility, neither of them is a simple Male/Female binary in which those categories are mutually exclusive.
Literally only a few years ago we had a national argument about sexuality. Shouldn't we at least have some national demographics to back up this kind of discourse? An understanding of who modern Australia really is?
Conservatives really don't want you to find out who modern Australia really is. It'll just shine a light on how much they've stagnated since the last census
