Facebook adds 56 Gender options to choose from

[Angrboda]

The thing that really surprises me is they put "Neither" as an option; not only is "neither" not applicable when there are 57 other options, but I cannot fathom the person who refuses to recognise themselves as belonging to any gender. It's one thing to think that "I have a penis, but I know I'm supposed to be a girl," and another thing to think "you know what, I'm not comfortable as either male or female, so I've just decided I'm giving up on having a gender." One of them can make sense. I really hope you can understand which one does.

I get hit on through social networking sites by complete strangers. Keeping one's gender private can be a very attractive option. (And if you think the greater internet fuckwad theory doesn't have a corresponding phenomena in private communications, think again.)
