Facebook adds 50 gender options for users: For those who can't make up their minds
American Thinker ^ | 02/14/2014 | Rick Moran

Are you confused about your gender? You know, man, woman, trans, queer, neutral...and on and on.

Well, there's good news for you people who can't seem to make up your minds. Facebook is adding 50 options to identify what gender your are...or, rather, what you see yourself as...or maybe what you think is hip.

From Associated Press:

"With a click of a cursor, Jay Brown in Cheverly, Md., went from Male to Trans Male. A few states away, Debon Garrigues of Asheville, N.C., switched from Male to Neutral. In San Francisco, Marilyn Roxie, formerly Female, chose three: Androgynous, Transgender and Genderqueer.

Across the country Thursday, news swept through the transgender community that social media giant Facebook had added 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. And one after another, they made their changes in a quiet revolution of sorts.

"For me, this is about much more than a button on a monitor," Garrigues said. "This encourages people to think outside the binary spectrum. It means I don't have to try to fit in the wrong boxes."

For many others, the change went unnoticed - or too far. "Of course Facebook is entitled to manage its wildly popular site as it sees fit, but here is the bottom line: It's impossible to deny the biological reality that humanity is divided into two halves - male and female," said Jeff Johnston, an issues analyst for Focus on the Family, an influential national religious organization based in Colorado Springs, Colo. "Those petitioning for the change insist that there are an infinite number of genders, but just saying it doesn't make it so. "

No, you were right. I was playing with the inie/outie as a kid, but moving it down a little lower. See my gazinta/gazouta further down.

I took a look, the options are male, female, or custom. You can make it be whatever you want it to be.

Here is the full list of Facebook’s 56 gender options. (Note: I have split the list into various groupings):

MALE:
Male
Cis Male
Cis Man
Cisgender Male
Cisgender Man
Female to Male
FTM
Trans Male
Trans Man
Trans* Male
Trans* Man
Transgender Male
Transgender Man
Transsexual Male
Transsexual Man
Transmasculine

FEMALE:

IMHO, people who seriuosly have to go to these lengths to somehow define themselves have already gone over the edge psychologically, and are in free fall.

Their best hope is to find Jesus Christ in their life, come unto Him, and then follow His teachings and find peace and security for their souls.

I’m offended. I’m calling my lawyer. I’m a lesbian trapped in a mans body and they didn’t include me.

Hell in a handbasket.

Waaaay too slow.

Think of the Winter Olympics for an analogy.

I'm not sure if Downhill Skiing or Bobsled is a better comparison.

Come to think of it, I believe we are in the same position as a Ski Jumper. We've traveled down that long slope, gaining speed. The "Sexual Revolution" of the late 60's & 70's was like hitting the ramp at the end.

Everyone yelled "Wheeeee!!!".

No one bothered to look where we are going to land.

I'm offended too because I'm not sure if I'm a 'computer controlled robot' or a 'hologram' or some other test tube science project. They did not include me.

Like SarahBaracuda say's, our country is so messed up.
