"more and more people are complaining and fighting against the idea that you are either male or female".
Gender is probably binary for 300 million people or so and whether 20-30 people in a small group think otherwise, may not really matter to anyone but them, and might just be considered a "tempestette in a teacup". It is not to marginalize the small group--they can call themselves anything they want to, and join any organization that supports their own view of themselves. What seems to be of importance is that the idea arises out of a need to rationalize and name what it is we do-or how we see ourselves-- in view of the attitudes of the greater population, who, by the way, will never accept (except hypocritically for the most part) that there are people who are different from the general run of population: e.g. crossdressers, homosexuals, drag queens and kings, prostitutes, you name it..
As long as religion makes headway in determining how people "should be", no real discussion is likely to take place that has any lasting meaning. Much of the world is STILL HOMOPHOBIC despite allowances for marriage and other things social. This is not to say that in some ways we should all not try to influence the society at large, but it is clearly an uphill battle. Many here say that "labels" are for cans--I don't happen to believe that necessarily--but nobody forces anyone to claim any gender accept the forms you fill out for services provided by various parties who want that information like employers. We can all just say, I YAM WHAT I YAM. period, end of sentence.
