There's a lot of ways to state transgendered, so likely facebook is just putting out all the different ways one could say one gender to those who want to be extra specfic about it.

Granted I imagine it's a very small percent of people who would go out of their way for something like that.

I don't totally see why, but its not hurting anyone and someone will feel better by being able to use it.

Cis Female
Cis Male
Cis Man
Cis Woman
Cisgender Female
Cisgender Male
Cisgender Man
Cisgender Woman


These all seem like the same thing to just Male/Female IMO but if someone prefers a specific one, all the more to them.

If I take it as a given that biological sex is seperate from gender, I realize I've never given any thought to what my gender is.

How do I figure out what I am?

They are. A lot of the extra genders are just restating male, female, or neither. It's just some people are really picky about what it's called.

FB gender options are sorted by Male, Female, Custom.

Custom then has a textfield where you can enter one of the above genders.

Also custom allows you to set your pronoun which can be either He, She, Them.

I thought you just filled in a blank space


You can, it's just there are some auto complete options in the the text field based on what you are typing. You can technically enter anything and you can also enter multiple things.

Honestly, with the focus being solely on something like pronouns, I wonder what they'd do in Japan, where in casual conversation they don't even use pronouns.

This isn't some "PC agenda". Facebook wants to know as many details about your life as possible, as specifically as possible, so they can target ads more accurately and thus demand more advertising dollars from advertisers.

Oh, I didn't know Facebook would yell at you for picking the wrong gender.

Wait, doesn't giving people the ability to choose from a plethora of gender identities mean that it would be easier to not misidentify someone? Isn't this a move that would make that scenario less likely?
