Edmonton municipal census has three categories for "gender" in 2016

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Genesis 1:27

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. Mark 10:6

It comes as no surprise to this blogger to find that the city of Edmonton's municipal census, held every two years, has three categories for the question on gender in 2016: male, female, and "other." At that, it's just in the interest of shortening the questionnaire that only one additional option was added. During the training session for census workers, it was stated that there are now seven varieties of "transgendered" persons. At least, that's the number this week--a new letter seems to be added every few weeks, and it will end up being Heinz 57 varieties, the way it's going. I can't keep up with all these letters, so I just refer to these people as "alphabet" freaks or perverts (yes, they're freaks, and I won't apologize for using the word).

As blogger Vox Day said in commenting on a similar news item on July 14, 2015:

One thing I didn't realize when reading about the historical collapse of empires is how damned farcical it is.
