What about a supervillian?

Sikhs have been shamelessly excluded from this poll. Also Buddhists. I warrant Phil would have a thing or two to say about that."I am the Lorax, and I'll yell and I'll shout for the fine things on earth that are on their way out!"

In any event though, ACG polls allows for around 26 choices.
One of the options I had in the poll was transsexual, and I feel that when it comes to the sexes, most of us think of a man or a woman, although we do know of people whom willingly undergo a sex change operation, these folks can be known as Transexuals.
17. Transsexual — Transsexual refers to transgender people who outwardly identify as their experienced gender rather than their birth sex. Many, but not all, transsexuals are transitioning (or have transitioned) from male to female or female to male through hormone therapy and/or gender reassignment surgery.
Let me say though, things like Facebook and twitter allow you to choose from over 50 types of genders, so apparently, I'm missing a whole bunch of types of people to put on the poll, such as the following
18. Two-spirit — This term refers to gender-variant Native Americans. In more than 150 Native American tribes, people with "two spirits"—a term coined in the 1990s to replace the term "berdache"—were part of a widely accepted, often respected, category of gender-ambiguous men and women.

Prior to this day, I was unaware that the term two spirit could refer to gender-variant Native Americans.

Aside from that transsexuals also have an extremely high rate of suicide.
http://articles.latimes.com/2014/jan...ender-20140127
A whopping 41% of people who are transgender or gender-nonconforming have attempted suicide sometime in their lives, nearly nine times the national average, according to a sweeping survey released three years ago.

My 13th jump was on the 13th day of the month, aircraft number 013.
As recorded on my DA Form 1307 Individual Jump Log.
