I had a dog that though he was a person. So will our pets also be recognized as 'persons'. Or should they be recognized as 'theys"? BTW. My dog was smarter than many folks I know so he could be recognized as a they but not as a person. Or am I confused? We cant use mum or dad now. Or mother or father. So am I a Grandthey? Is my wife also a Grandthey? So that brings us to God. Is he a he or is he a they? And was it's his Son who was crucified at Easter or was he also a they?
Happy Easter.

Allow me to set the record straight, bgt.
Being male, you would be the Grand Non-Gestational Parent, whereas your wife would be the Grand Gestational Parent.
Can't understand why you'd be so confused...

A f'ing lot of crap, as is most of the current PC stuff ...
For fear of contravening Forum rules and risking upsetting others, I won't mention my views on all of the various 'rights matter', 'Me too' & 'custodian' stuff.
cheers ... from a WASP male

I'm not sure you're allowed to say WASP? It may be speciest?
Edit:
Although Spiked is UK centric this article fits Australia very well:

We are well on the way down this awful spiked track. By the way, anybody got a Euro wasp killer?

And now deadiest with luck. We just have a few that drink from the bird bath and one was hanging around when the lunch lamb loin chops were ready to come out from under the Weber. A big burst of insect spray gave him an awful headache, but not the most efficient of safest way me thinks.
Could this happen in Australia? Has it already happened? What are the implications?
This river in Canada is now a 'legal person':

"Indigenous communities are leading worldwide push to recognise legal 'personhood' rights of rivers, lakes and mountains."
New Zealand river is the world's first 'legal person':
