Yes, exactly. You can see why people drew the line at that point. XD
The whole thing can boggle me, too. There's a whole thing about 3rd gender/non-gendered pronouns, too. Zie and Zir is quite popular in the trans world. It's okay if people can stick to it, but can get really confusing for people who have no clue about it. Not so bad when the person is laid back like me and doesn't mind outsiders using gendered pronouns, but gets really annoying when people get screechy about how they must use Zie and Zir and society must conform to their non-gendered way of life.
