Great.

Only women should be allowed to vote on issues relating to women.

And men only allowed for men’s issues.

And transgendered lesbians should only be allowed to vote for transgendered lesbian issues.

We’ll get right down to DNA differentiation, and ensure we only vote for issues relating to ourselves.

Those groups would make strange polities indeed, though how you got from the earlier comment on the interesting question of defining polity membership and access to the franchise to these bizarre thoughts is a bit murky.

Since we live in the territories of a nation-state that is in turmoil over the distinction between ‘resident’ and ‘citizen’, and which is bedeviled by an increasingly dysfunctional electoral system, a bit greater clarity in thinking might be helpful. What criterion do you think is optimal for determining who has access to the franchise, and why?

"..ensure we only vote for issues relating to ourselves."

Uhh..Careful, sir, that is beginning to sound like democracy.
