Why must degenerative and weak behavior be celebrated?
Facebook today announced that users in the US now have the ability to select a custom gender for their Timeline profile pages. Aside from Male or Female, Facebook now offers "Other," a new setting that lets users choose between ten gender options such as "cisgender," "transgender," and "intersex," and define which pronoun they'd like to be referred to as — he / his, she / her, or they / their. Moreover, Facebook also now lets you define exactly who can see the Gender section on your profile. Facebook says it worked closely with LGBT activist groups to choose the new profile options.

haha the comments on the official photo are hilarious, can't make this shit up
"There is still no option to identify my relationship with my queer/genderqueer child without selecting Son or Daughter, even after they changed their profile to neutral pronouns"
"There are several gender options missing. It would be better to just be able to fill in our OWN gender identities. Also BTW Male and Female are actually NOT genders, they are sexes."
"Please allow us to select femme, butch, masculine-of-center, stud, and feminine-of-center as genders. Even now I cannot express my gender on Facebook, as femme is the only gender I identify as."
"This is a really great start. Thank you, Facebook; this meant a lot more to me as a binary trans person than I had expected it would."
I'm disapointed Facebook doesn't allow me to chose velociraptor
