Depends on what you're hitting it with.

Census-takers may soon have to add a new check box for gender.
And the thanks for the confusion goes to Norrie May-Welby of Australia, who has passed as a man — and a woman — and is now the first person legally designated neither, London's Telegraph reports.
The genderless 48-year-old was born male in Scotland, and moved Down Under at age 7. Twenty-one years later, May-Welby underwent a sex change, but really wasn't happy living life as a woman either, according to Telegraph.co.uk.
Which left neuter, naturally — and that seemed to fit.
"The concepts of man or woman don't fit me," May-Welby said. "The simplest solution is not to have any sex identification."
And New South Wales government officials amended the Scottish Australian's birth certificate to reflect "no specific sex" after doctors were not able to make a gender determination, Telegraph.co.uk reported.
"There is no reason for still insisting that our legal identity must include a public statement about a very private matter, our sex," May-Welby wrote in, er, zie (a gender-neutral pronoun) blog.
The UK's Gender Trust welcomed the case. "Many people like the idea of being genderless," a spokesman said, according to the Telegraph.
The restroom question has yet to be formally addressed.
Should have used the surgery money to get those choppers fixed.
Is his name Loretta, and is he a member of the Judean People’s Front?
That would be a rejection of its UK heritage.
This has got to be a no hitter.
She has X+Z.

I'd get very confused.
Then I would cry.
And someone would have to hold me to comfort me.
I’d hold you, but you’ll have to disinfect first.
I’ll Comfort you, providing you sip the Southern Comfort through a straw, and keep your lips off my bottle...
Really doesn't sound that much different than my wife's elementary teacher, Sister Merthiolate: didn't have nun; didn't want nun; wouldn't give nun...but whacked everyone.
Nope, they ALWAYS want to use the Ladies’ Room.
Just checking in - let’s say the end of one epoch or era, the beginning of another.
Will get to pingifying in a bit. Hand better, can type now.
Creepy doesn’t even begin.
We have a winner for first person with the biblical answer.
I believe that is what a prospective partner actually said after seeing this face.
I think that goes way back before the 90s. Those sorts were leaving “Frodo lives” scrawled everywhere in the late 60s.
Begs asking a new question, Do “its” cr@p in the woods?
