    In traditional livestock symbolism, a perpendicular stroke across the, um, arrow shaft of an otherwise male symbol signifies physical castration, becoming e.g.: . . . and (if I recall correctly), capons (poultry).


    I have a little something of an ag background.  But I'm not sure that I have ever heard of this being done.  I couldn't begin to tell you how to accomplish it, nor why anybody would do it.

  • "In Christ there is neither male nor female".

    "In heaven we shall not receive nor be given in spouse: all shall be like angels".

  • What about that woman who married a rollercoaster? What gender is she?
    If a woman married a roller coaster, could the amusement park charge her for the maintenance of the ride?

  • I don't get "agender". If you are neither male nor female, what the lunatic crap are you? A picnic table? Windex?
    .
    Angels have no sɛҳuąƖ identity. They are neither male nor female, since they have no physical body.
    .
    However, we refer to them with the male gender. 
    .
    This is a great example of how gender refers not to the person but to the words used in speech which apply to the person. Gender is something that can be changed, just like you use white-out or an eraser to change text on the page. An editor can change the gender of a person's description or pronouns or identity. 
    .
    When it comes to the person himself (can apply to women as well), it would have to be his sex that changes. 
    .
    Therefore it is a sex change operation, not a gender change operation. 
    .
    But a sex change operation is a fallacy because a person's sex is embedded in the very DNA of every cell of his body, and there is no way to change all those cells in all those chromosomes, without wrecking his body.

    .
    There is a loopy woman in Germany who claims to have married the Berlin Wall.
    She even legally changed her name to reflect his name in her own.
    She is very sad that most of it has been torn down. She remains devoted to what is left of "him."
