New Gender Options for Facebook Users

- By increasing the options you open your social platform to a new or revitalized market.
- By increasing the variety you stir up controversy, or press, regarding your social platform.
Especially important for a platform that revolves around the differences of people I suppose.

Xrain:
To be fair I might be able to argue for 3 - 4 gender classifications in total. Since there have been a reasonable amount of people born with both sets of genitalia, so classifying people like that is a bit more complicated than what is for most people. Granted I'm not sure a medical condition like that is exactly something that would I want to make public on my Facebook...
Overall definitely a case of Facebook taking a ride on the bandwagon for some publicity. But seriously what do they need to advertise for? They have like 1.2 billion user accounts, there is only so much market penetration that is possible.
ursus:
does anyone on this forum actually know like, anything about gender
except maybe xrain

If facebook doesn't need the money, it stands to reason that they're doing it because it's actually a good thing. A lot of the people who benefit from this are actual employees working at facebook. They had the opportunity and they took it.
--- Quote from: Prox on February 15, 2014, 04:58:03 AM ---It is an undisputed fact that there are only two genders: male and female. Not according to the progressives. I also think it's worth mentioning that out of 3 people who were interviewed in this video 1 is a jew, another one is a transfaggot and third one is an LGBT/transgender-activist. How adorable.
Now seriously, how in the hell are there people who actually think that this is okay or that it makes sense? You might say that if I don't like it I shouldn't care especially since I don't use Facebook but the thing is that shit like this is not going to stop here it will spread further just like LGBT "values" are right now, not to mention that it's only a matter of time until liberals think of a new form of degeneracy to spread around.
Discuss.

please tell me you're being sarcastic here
also, although there are about 50 new terms a lot of them mean the same thing
it's mostly a matter of letting people be more comfortable with themselves in as many public settings as possible, a lot of people genuinely don't identify with one gender or another because of a variety of things like hormone imbalances, past trauma, etc.
at least look up gender dysphoria/gender identity disorder on wikipedia before you start speaking so authoritatively on this, I would consider that much to be the minimum amount of information before you should even form an opinion on this
--- Quote ---Symptoms of GID in children include disgust at their own genitalia, social isolation from their peers, anxiety, loneliness and depression.[11] According to the American Psychological Association, transgender children are likelier than other children to experience harassment and violence in school, foster care, residential treatment centers, homeless centers and juvenile justice programs.[12]
Adults with GID are at increased risk for stress, isolation, anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem and suicide.[11] Transgender women are likelier than other people to smoke cigarettes and abuse alcohol and other drugs. In the United States, transgender women have a higher suicide rate than others, both before and after gender reassignment surgery,[11] and are at heightened risk for certain mental disorders.[13]
Transgender people are often harassed, socially excluded, subjected to discrimination, abuse, violence and murder.[11][14] In the United States, transgender people are less likely than others to have health insurance, and often face hostility and insensitivity from healthcare providers.[15]
