A form for pre-registration for a kindergarten place is currently causing a stir in Upper Austria. In addition to male and female, parents can also assign their children to the gender groups "diverse", "inter" or "open". According to the responsible officer, this is not a political decision, but merely the implementation of a legal requirement in the central registration register.

How many genders does the kindergarten really need? Should children of this age have to make such a decision? Should parents be allowed to decide the gender of their child? We look forward to your opinion in the comments!
