  As reported by the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24767225

  About time the world recognised this problem.

  Poor old Yahweh, suffering from Alzheimer's Disease, when he told a scribe that he had created humans as 'Male and Female,' had already forgotten about the 'in-betweens' that resulted from his system of making humans male and female.

  The problem is, contrary to the way Yahweh portrayed it, (that males were first), all new conceptions start life in a default mode that, if uninterrupted, would mean that they would be born female. Every foetus has a pair of Mullerian ducts that contain female organs (fallopian tubes, cervix, and upper section of the vagina) and also wolffian ducts (includes, the testis, the epididymis, vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and ejaculatory duct). Without interruption, the wolffian ducts would not develop and the resultant child would be female. If you accept Christian theology, Yahweh's method of producing males was to insert a Y chromosone into the human genome (the entirety of an organism's hereditary information). It operates by 'kicking in' at a certain point in the pregnancy, producing hormones that inhibit the development of the Mullerian duct and allowing the development of the Wolffian duct, resulting in a male child. The hormonal chemicals, in a process called 'masculinisation,' also affect the brain.

  It does not take a great step of the imagination to realise that variations in the operation of the Y chromosone can result in corresponding variations in the genitals of a child, who could have characteristics of both male and female sexes. It is thought that imperfect or partial sexualisation of the brain can result in the situation where a child believes that they have the wrong biological body (and, wants a sex change).

  Old Yahweh, (or, his offsider, the now more popular, Jesus), were always sloppy workers. Sadly, the inablity of their followers to work all this out has meant many tragic situations for thos born with unclear sex organs, or worse an incompletely sexualised brain.

  Here's how the BBC reported the change:

  Germany has become Europe's first country to allow babies with characteristics of both sexes to be registered as neither male nor female.

  Parents are now allowed to leave the gender blank on birth certificates, in effect creating a new category of "indeterminate sex".

  The move is aimed at removing pressure on parents to make quick decisions on sex assignment surgery for newborns.

  However, some campaigners say the new law does not go far enough.

  As many as one in 2,000 people have characteristics of both sexes.

  They are known as "intersex" people because they have a mixture of male and female chromosomes or even genitalia which have characteristics of both genders.

  The intense difficulty for parents is often that a gender has to be chosen very quickly so that the new child can be registered with the authorities, the BBC's Steve Evans in Berlin reports.

  Sometimes surgery is done on the baby to turn its physical characteristics as far as possible in one direction or the other, our correspondent says.

  The law in Germany has been changed following a review of cases which revealed great unhappiness.

  In one case, a person with no clear gender-defining genitalia was subjected to surgery. The person said many years later: "I am neither a man nor a woman. I will remain the patchwork created by doctors, bruised and scarred."

  German passports, which currently list the holder's sex as M for male or F for female, will have a third designation, X, for intersex holders, according to the interior ministry.

  It remains unclear what impact the change will have on marriage and partnership laws in Germany.

  Germany was not the first to do this.

  Australia has allowed a similar arrangement since 2011, and New Zealand since 2012.

  More interestingly is that some Asian nations also allow this arrangement, including Bangladash (Muslim),

  Nepal (mixture of Hindu, Buddhist and Shamanism)

  Pakistan (Muslim)

  India (predominantly Hindu)

  Thailand (predominantly Buddhist)

  Absolutely agreed, Zeb! The treatment of intersexed people by most Christian sects, should make all Christians get on their knees, throw dust over the heads and beg the forgiveness of forgetful old Yahweh and Jesus, who are the real culprits causing this situation.
