Leftists joyous at additions that will drive social conservatives crazy

Facebook has bowed to pressure from LGBT activists by creating over 50 new custom gender options, meaning users can identify as things like “gender fluid,” “transmasculine” or “two spirit”.

Leftist commentators are already hailing the decision, joyous that it will drive conservatives crazy.


“It screams of “political correctness gone mad,” writes the Guardian’s Paris Lees, “and I look forward to rightwing commentators telling us how absurd it is and how affronted they are by something that really isn’t a concern for anyone other than those it concerns.”


According to Lees, 56 different gender designations isn’t enough.


The Associated Press covered the story by affording numerous transgender activists a platform to celebrate the change, while providing “balance” with just one dissenting quote from Focus On The Family.


“Of course Facebook is entitled to manage its wildly popular site as it sees fit, but here is the bottom line: It’s impossible to deny the biological reality that humanity is divided into two halves – male and female,” said Jeff Johnston.


Some joked that the change could represent a financial windfall for companies that make bathroom signs.


Although dozens of new options were added to the social networking site, Facebook has refused to publish the full list.


However, Slate compiled a list of all 56 new gender options, which you can check out below.

Germany Creates 3rd Gender


(Newser) – Baby boy or baby girl? As of today, parents in Germany have the option of choosing neither, leaving the gender spot on their newborn’s birth certificate blank if the baby’s sex can’t be determined. As many as one in 2,000 people are born with ambiguous genitalia, and the new law basically creates a third gender category for “indeterminate” or “intersex” people, the BBC reports. Currently, passport holders in the country are listed as either M (male) or F (female); with this change, a third option will be added: X (intersex). Individuals whose gender is left blank at birth can choose later to become male or female, or can remain intersex, Der Spiegel reports.


Germany, the first European country to make such an allowance, reviewed cases of intersex babies and found that many who were subjected to sex assignment surgery at a young age ended up unhappy. The law is an attempt to relax the pressure on parents, who may feel forced to make a quick decision about gender and surgery. But the Wall Street Journal explains the law’s wording could actually have the unplanned effect of pushing parents toward surgery. It reads that if a male or female gender can’t be assigned, the child “shall be entered without such information in the register of births.” Some fear that might lead stigma-wary parents to request surgery that would allow for a definitive determination of sex. Another fear: that intersex people won’t have “a space … to be themselves,” as one LGBT activist points out to AFP, noting that schools separate things like bathrooms and sports activities by gender.
