Yes, and perhaps a doctor should look at the person that put 'other' into the form as well, unless they have a personal reason for putting it in? In which case should we allow anyone that would answer a gender question with other, to compile a questionnaire?

Re: Puzzled
Questionnaires are one of the few things that annoy me.
When compelled to answer (the census), I just provide silly answers to mess up their statistics.

Does that mean future HH leaflets will include a translation into ESP?
And isn't an Atlantean a bus?

Re: Puzzled
It's definitely to do with being politically correct, perhaps everyone should return it with 'other' ticked and see what happens!
And if they were thinking about transgender people, I would have thought they would put down the sex they've changed to after all the trouble they've gone to, so it's stupid and pointless - but I suppose it's keeping someone in a job!

To be honest Anne I was very tempted to do just that, but they'd have known I was telling lies
