Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

No, they're not 'changing from one to another'Gender and sex are a lot more complex than binary boxes. Many people jump through a lot of hoops to be listed as something other than what you might guess, or indeed as nothing at all.
At a minimum, all systems should have M, F or 'unspecified' - except in the case where someone's physical sex is medically important - and even then it's not straightforward.
