People are either male or female, and that's set in stone before we're even born.

Some folks don't want to be the gender/sex they really are, and some of those will take steps to make themselves appear to be the gender/sex they wish to be. They dress the part, they take hormones, they have various surgeries. Some achieve a pretty good appearance of the gender they are attempting to "present". However, they can never actually become anything other than what they were born as... all they can do is "dress up" and play a part.

Some of this switching around is to satisfy sexual perversion, and some is simply mental illness. Everyone seems to be trying to justify and encourage both by confusing these things with gender/sex. This is nuts.

If you're not happy with the gender you were born with, there are limits to what you should do about it... go beyond that and it becomes unhealthy for you and society.

In honor of this insanity, I have suggested a new Gender entry in Facebook, Quantum Gender with Nanosecond Variations. The definition of Quantum Gender with Nanosecond Variations that I am offering to Facebook, is as such:
A person is neither male, nor female, but is in a quantum state of maleness or femaleness, until the gender is actually observed. At that time the quantum field collapses into a true gender of male or female. However, the quantum field state returns every nanosecond, so one can never quite be sure of the gender from nanosecond to nanosecond.

Well said. I have spent some time recently researching homosexuality in order to understand the damage they are doing to the kids they have in their care. The lifestyle is both cult-like and mafia-like. Some are miserable and want to go strait but are vilified by the militant ones and terrorized into believing that reparative therapy will kill them. It is an awful situation that average people need to wake up to. The more we retool our society to accommodate their perversion, the more we enable them to destroy not only themselves, but our way of life too.

don’t about 48 of these options pretty much mean the same thing?

There are two sexes (not including those with real genetic or other anomalies) and as many genders as mental illness will allow. Admittedly, some mental illnesses are also genetic or caused by outside influences, but they are still only mental.

“Agender - Someone who does not identify with any sort of gender identity. This term may also be used by someone who intentionally has no recognizable gender presentation. Some people use similar terms such as “genderless” and “gender neutral”.”

Does anyone remember Pat?
