Yet another reason not to join, or to drop Facebook. For some strange reason not known to rational men, Facebook as now decided there are fifty-eight different genders, from Common Cents [1]:
Here they are – the list of 58 Genders you can now choose from on Facebook!
Not sure if we should laugh – or cry! Here is the list of 58, yes Fifty Eight different genders that anyone can choose from on Facebook.
One is free to choose any one of the fifty-eight different Facebook genders but they still either be a boy or a girl. I don’t know about biology in Facebook Land, but here in the real world, there are but two sexes, to wit male and female.
Reaction, James Joyner, Outside the Beltwey [2](from the comments):
Ha. Indeed, the vast majority of us are privileged to be cissexual, meaning that we think we’re the sex that our body looks like and be attracted to people of the opposite sex. It’s useful to understand both that society treats us much better as a result and that we didn’t earn that. Beyond that, though, I’m not sure what to do with the information.
Hat tip: Jazz Shaw, Hot Air [3]
On Earth humans are conceived as either male or female. Sex is a trait endowed by God and not a privilege granted by mere mortal men.
