The citizens of Gainesville, Florida, are set to do battle over a gender-identity ordinance passed by the city council.
The ordinance passed by the civic leaders defines gender as follows: "An inner sense of being a specific gender, or the expression of a gender identity by verbal statement, appearance, or mannerisms, or other gender-related characteristics of an individual with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth." Gives new meaning to being in touch with one's "feminine side," eh? See the whole story at: http://www.alligator.org/articles/2008/07/15/news/local/080715_ordinance.txt
