@8YG2NCHNew Democratic3yrs3Y
I believe there are only two genders, but I respect everyone doing what will make them comfortable
@8VSNJ5CNew Democratic4yrs4Y
There should be no gender listed.
@8HPSK5WNew Democratic5yrs5Y
No, there are only two genders, except people genetically born with both organs, who should be added.
@8CW6SXRNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes, but with regard to self identification the law must uphold people's individual dignity while not punishing those who fail to read another's mind.
@8CM5QDJNew Democratic5yrs5Y
Yes, but only if we provide more education to companies and schools regarding gender identity to increase knowledge and awareness.

@8XBJ3YGNew Democratic3yrs3Y

This doesnt matter to me im ok with what ever
@8P5GKWH4yrs4Y
Those who fall into this category should have the right to be treated fairly and not mistreated because of their choices as long they are not committing a crime.

@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, but transgender individuals should avoid employment in occupations such as child care worker or grade school teacher to help prevent mental confusion among infants and young children while daily interacting
