They can't target advertising, or pander to social groups that way.

lol

Fifty six? Why? At this rate, they might as well just let people enter in their own, kind of like we do here with custom user titles. In fact...that doesn't sound like too bad of an idea.

Did I miss this? Even so, do they really have advertising that targets any individual sexual identification among the fifty six? "And these ads target 'Gender Fluid' people, while these are aimed towards 'Gender Variant' people". How could you really do that, and what products would they need so specific an audience for anyway?

You don't know anybody in marketing, do you?

Is it me, or there's a lot of redundancy on that list?

That's A LOT of options. Since I have no gender, I appreciate being able to put something accurate there. But a text box would have been alright too. This made a lot of people happy though and I do not see a problem. I DO see a problem with people bitching about there not being enough options, but thankfully I have not run into these people yet (I KNOOOOW they exist though). Good job, facebook, although honestly I would have been just as happy with just a couple extra options

I do think us non-binary folks needs some more umbrella terms, just because it's insane the amount of terminologies we have. To be fair though, a lot of those options they presented do fall under the term "genderqueer".

Hi.

On my personal page, I listed myself as male, on my Gwynnies page, they listed me as female. All I can say to that is - meh. Gayness is a hot topic; these motherfuckers are just cashing in. All I can say to that is - meh.

Huh? This has nothing to do with being gay.

In your own little world, maybe.

Once upon a time I was male, then I was straight, now I'm cis something - I think - which happened because gay.

Wut? You realize sex and gender are different, right? And both are different from sexuality? But I know you're also a joking sort of dude so /notsureifserious
