Original Title: Facebook adds 50 new gender terms, as well as preferred pronoun choices, to social media site
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.
Facebook said the changes, shared with The Associated Press before the launch on Thursday, initially cover the company’s 159 million monthly users in the U.S. and are aimed at giving people more choices in how they describe themselves, such as androgynous, bi-gender, intersex, gender fluid or transsexual.

They did not include the gender with which I identify...I am going to call my lawyer and file a lawsuit accordingly. In this day and age, I cannot believe that my gender had been excluded from this so-called comprehensive list of 50+. I am insulted, outraged and I deserve recompense for my emotional pain and suffering.
Hey! They left off “Trans-fat”. The bigots!
Lol
There are two sexes. Male and female. Not genders.
i aim to please :-)
