Quote:You don't have to be just male or female on Facebook anymore. The social media giant is adding a customizable option with about 50 different terms people can use to identify their gender as well as three preferred pronoun choices: him, her or them....

Yippee! 50 new ways to define sex. I plan to use my Obamacare to try out all of them before I make a decision.

This is friggin stupid. Either you have junk down there or you don't. And if you're hung like your typical liberal and still can't decide there are chromosome tests and those tests will only give you one of two possible answers.

Wait...chromosome tests. Isn't that science? Doesn't the left put all its eggs into the scientific basket?

Oh I see what the deal is... And why it's only applicable in the United States.. These people sure do make us look vulnerable and retarded.

Quote:"There's going to be a lot of people for whom this is going to mean nothing, but for the few it does impact, it means the world," said Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison, who worked on the project and is herself undergoing gender transformation, from male to female. On Thursday, while watchdogging the software for any problems, she said she was also changing her Facebook identity from Female to TransWoman.

Of course... They get one crybaby in the mix and she or it f*cks the entire program even worse...

This is why you have to be careful who you let run things... I've NEVER heard someone biitch about the male, female, or other option...

Dude, this whole thing is jacked up. What's this OTHER crap? Either you're a male or female. There are NO OTHER CHOICES except what degree of freakdom a person is willing to take him or herself.

Not taking a position on this (although I think it's ridiculous) I would remind people that ***** about facebook that their participation is entirely voluntary.

It's not the point.

You mean they won't be available in Middle Eastern and South Asian countries that are dominated by Muslims? I'm stunned.

I guess a third option could be hermaphrodite. Other than that though, yeah, it's just a matter of freakdom.

Remember to be inclusive of your two-spirited friends.

Seeing the little snippet about Google in the screen capture - would Google customize its ads differently if someone chose "Two Spirited" or "Trans*Whatever".

There's simultaneously nothing "wrong" with this, but everything "disturbing" about it.

I want to take a position, but this is too f'n weird.

Some of them, the other countries that it won't be available to are majority Catholic, Protestant, Shinto, Hindu, Buddhist, etc, etc.

I find it retarded that there are now 50 different terms for gender on facebook, but don't really care that people are allowed to use them.
