Gender Neutral Confusion..............

[Squid]

As a gender neutral person they are simply saying they are not male and they are not female, and generally not happy with being identified as either.
Probably from a practical point of view they are merely normal people with a different mind set.

Good luck.

Can you get away with paying them less then?

You shouldn't be asking about it at interview, the information is for statistical purposes only and should have no bearing on whether you hire this person. You shouldn't need to alter your language because when are you ever going g to use him/her/she etc when directly addressing a person? If I saw this on an application I think I'd file it in my brain as "interesting" and just get on with it. If they are the best applicant then perhaps you can sensitively ask them how they would like to be addressed. Regarding customer you will have to let them know that customers' actions are beyond your control and they will have to take on the responsibility of introducing themselves to customers and let them know if they would like to be addressed in a certain way. More than likely though this is a mountain out of a mole hill and they be be perfectly normal

This persons gender is one or the other not sitting on a fence. .

Is it? Why should it be binary? Nature doesn't conform to the labels that humans have given it in our attempts to quantify, explain and control it.
Nature is analogue, not digital. Living things rely on mutations and variations to survive, and it is the whole point of the theory of evolution.

Science has identified the chromosome responsible for gender, so we have XX for male and XY for female, but if you actually look at samples every persons gender chromosomes are different. They rarely form the perfect precise shapes we assume and this is reflected in the people they come from.

For a start he'll have mental health issues so be wary that if you did employ them as a company how much support you would have to give then i.e. time off and financially, if you are a small company it could hurt you financially. Brutal but true.

Rubbish, you cannot diagnose a mental health condition on the basis of being gender neutral.
And even if they do have mental health issue it doesn't automatically mean that they will need extra support from their employer.

Hi,
No you can can't! Now on a more practical point if you employ a person who is disabled and meets certain critera then they will qualify for goverment support under the access for work scheme. Now being "gender neutral" is not a dissablity. Get help at work if you’re disabled or have a health condition (Access to Work) - GOV.UK - https://www.gov.uk/access-to-work

The attempted suicide rate for trans people is 41percent , it cannot be just nasty names .

Sustained "nasty names" can be very delibiateing, and often the abuse is far worse than just "nasty names". I would suggest reflecting on the content of this discussion.

This is, by far the beast and easiest description of what a Gender Neutral person is, I hope it helps.

It's called character and we all have one and that's what makes us get along or not.
This 'mindi' in the video is just describing being a human being and not a robot.
So many of school age and university age are being brainwashed into these ideas pandering to the agenda for those that want to make trouble for society and government. This brainwashing is causing tendencies such as suicide. Kids don't know who they are now because they are being told what they should be at such a young vulnerable age. And keep toilets separate for heavens sake!
You are male or female that's what your DNA says in every, every cell of your body.
Everybody wants an identity but they want one that makes them stand out and this also makes them very intolerant of anyone who disagrees.
I don't go on marches and placard my way around town, why should they?
I don't know where this is all headed and quite frankly I'm not interested in them. They are the naughty kids in school that had the most attention whilst the ones that wanted to get on suffered.
Sit down, shut up and work to make this country a greater place to live in or go somewhere else.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Can you post up what the support is for people employed in South Africa as this has nothing to do with UK Legislation.

I am sorry, this is a UK forum and most of the members are in the UK. I am sure that Marvo and others from non UK understand this and will accomodate my indiscression.
