"Gender Fluidity."

Absolutely. But what -- precisely -- will "human" mean once we surrender the binary gender classification and go farther than Kinsey in describing sexual "types" in a continuum within which any one person from could permanently be slotted, from purely-homosexual to purely-heterosexual and homosexual or bisexual etc slotted somewhere in the middle -- for a complete life-time. What this suggests -- once the monopoly of one gender or female-grouped-slots to have children is abandoned or overwhelmed -- is that one individual human being could pass from one of these groups or slots in his or her own lifetime. No need to defend one's single "choice" -- s/he who is born homosexual can decide to be bisexual along the way, and revert to homosexual or stay bisexual afterwards...? And STILL be a cherished human being, Kantarii, yes indeed.

This is not a Sixties game here, this is a 21st century set of questions: what is the future of child-bearing, for example? The future of housework? The future of outside-the-home employment? Of retirement? Of pensions and hospital insurance, when one's partner may have morphed into a different creature -- no disloyalty or anything like that, just freedom of choice -- Of the rights -- legally, culturally -- of individual human persons? At the end of he day, I'll still be a human person, yes. But what, in point of fact, are the boundaries of my legitimate human choices after my sexual identification is a temporary expression of my complete sexual person and my right. My human right.

human will still mean human, and the ones left worrying about housework are those that don't pick up after themselves.
