Same-sex marriage has been legal in Ontario for about two weeks now. It has been predicted on this forum that legal same-sex marriage will lead to something called "gender confusion", which I think refers to a condition where individuals do not know if they are male or female. I am interested to know if anyone in Ontario or the rest of Canada has experienced such confusion or seen any reports of Canadians suffering from it.

Thanks,

Dave

Once I saw a girl who looked somewhat like me. Does that count?

I'm not feeling any more confused than I usually do...

The only real effect that the decision has had on me is making me feel happier about Ontario. If that's not a benefit, I don't know what is.

I still know what gender I am, so I don't seem to be confused at all.

Well, I'm way out in British Columbia, but already I'm pretty confused. I used to think I was attracted to women for physical reasons that were not subject to judicial review. But it turns out, I was only attracted to women because of the opportunity for marriage. Now with the possibility of marrying a man, well, I'm really going to have to reevaluate.

The next time I'm in Ontario, I just might try wearing panties.

We're all fine really.

My brother jokingly tried to make me wear her blue baseball cap, but I managed to ourtun her. Blue is for boys! Everything is like it should be. I had to rename my cat tho. It was previously known as "Nuage" (Cloud), which tended to confuse people. She's now known as "F�lix". People really seem to prefer this new name. In any case, the number of people checking her genitals has been greatly reduced.

I didn't learn much in school, I was too busy developping a heterosexual attraction, so I could be wrong, but I think Canada will be 136 years old next july first. Bonne f�te Canada

I live very near Quebec, and I do suffer gender confusion. Is that close enough?

The fact that people would bother to get married is pretty confusing, I mean asides from the tax and insurance policy benefits. Hey getting married sounds pretty sweet now, I will have to find another person who wants in on the deal....
