facebook is rolling out a new feature soon

[Elok]

My wife left her FB open. Am sorely tempted to go in there and reclassify her as a cistranspersyn or something.

okay I take back the mean things I said about you in the other thread

[Elok]

Yeah, you're the forgiving type.

Anyway, I bet it's almost as funny to do it to yourself and watch your friends react. I am now "gender fluid," which I guess means I change my mind a lot? Dunno. I do have to question why the hell we need this many different words. I mean, there's "trans person" and "trans*person," plus "neutrois," whatever that is. There's also "non-binary," but **** those people, binary is cool.

Seriously, what the hell does that asterisk mean? Is it so you can leave an asterisked footnote in tiny print to explain the details for the curious?

[Ban Kenobi]

Maybe trans*person means "trans" person?

Hey, it's not showing up on my timeline now! Nobody will even notice unless they're bored enough to go into my "about" section . . .

Well, that settles it. This is just no good at all.

I honestly don't see the point of adding trans-X options. I understand how non-binary terms might be valid for a small sliver of the general populace, but don't males that think they are women or vice versa want to be treated simply as women or men respectively?

[Asher]

No.

You're forgetting the attention-seeking aspect to this.

[Hauldren Collider]

Good to see bigotry lives on in young conservatives.

[Hauldren Collider]

The thing I find about humorous is the at hc and reg have no reason to reject non binary gender other than absolute confidence in their belief of how the world works. Its really quite arrogant.

Gender doesn't have to be binary, but that's only the case if you have chromosomes to spare.

"genderfluid" is another way of saying "Hi, I'm a teenager who wants to feel like a special snowflake but I'm too much of a little bitch to have my cock and balls removed for the privilege. I'd like to still be able to grow out of my stupidity when I'm 25."

[DaShi]

Who cares?

Yes because people take hormones and undergo surgery because they're attention seekers.

There are some who don't want to be either, or want to be both simultaneously, or some other option, and there's about twenty words for each.
