one only has to look at how the police came about roughly 200 years ago... upperclass brats patrouling the ports to prevent the common rabble like you and myself from stealing crates off of ships and warehouses.
This has nothing to do with the country in question, this is a global problem. I'd say we need independent oversight boards staffed by random citizens (similar to jury duty) in all countries. (imho)
I am not a native English speaker, in my native tongue we only have one word for both, may I ask for clarifcation, so gender is the role, but sex is the biological like XY or XX or something? so you can have one sex but another gender, right?
Why not get the cat a heated blanket instead?
