I had my H1N1 shot today. On the form, the gender choices were male, female, transgender, unknown. Unknown? Is that possible?
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

It would also seem like, if they need the information for medical purposes, then they'd need transgender male or transgender female, rather than just transgender.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh -- when I was filling out the insurance sign-up thing, I could only pick male or female!

Maybe they're covering their Ranma 1/2 bases.

I guess you would pick unknown if you were intersex? They could have just called it other.

I think it may have been more for statistical purposes. It was a really basic form asking just name, gender, birthdate, healthcard number, and "do you belong to any of these high risks groups?" That last question was marked as being for statistical purposes only.
The whole thing was superefficient. From line-up to leaving, I was in there for just over an hour.

This is the first thing I've ever seen giving options other than male/female from a district health authority.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Maybe the form could be filled out by more than just the subject. If it's a baby...

I thought of that. I can't see it being filled out by someone who wasn't in a position to know (parent/guardian/health care provider) but that's the only possibility I could think of.
