What if they have both (it happens)?

 


A new bill in Alabama defines a person's gender as what they are identified as when they are born -- if they have male or female genitals.

The problem with that is;  disregarding any LGBTQ situations, there are people that are born with both (and sometimes neither).  Called "intersex", they cause a bit of hemming-and-hawing in the redneck legislation. 

Alabama lawmakers advance bill that would define male and female based on sperm and ova

What's it say about intersex people?
"The measure would create a vague exemption for people with intersex conditions — saying that individuals with congenital or medically verifiable differences in sex development “must be accommodated” in accordance with federal law — while declaring that such people “are not a third sex.”

Research indicates that the U.S. population of intersex people, born with physical traits that don’t match typical definitions of male and female, is even bigger than that of transgender people."
Hope they don't try to live in Alabama, and obviously none of them want to be born there if they can help it.

(They can't, by the way.)
