Author Topic: Facebook adds 50 new gender options  (Read 46389 times)

I don't really want to headbutt this particular hornets nest, but since I'm banning people I should probably say something.

I'm against all forms of bullstuff.  Yes, social justice warrior snowflake-ism is bullstuff - but so is dismissing whole classes of loveual preference as a unnatural mental illnesses.  I'd like to think there's a healthy middle ground somewhere between tumblr and the westboro baptist church.  

Specever is now permanently banned.  If you check out his profile you can see his signature which contains a celtic cross (the adopted symbol of the white power/neo national socialist organization stormfront) and the charming "coon" tag.  What a winner.  I honestly don't know how he flew under the radar for so long.  
God bless.

We're not similar at all.

People who identify outside of the gender binary are under the presumption there is a nongender, or a third gender, or other silly things. You cannot identify as something that does not exist, in my opinion. Many folks seem to think that 'female = pink flowery girly girl cook for me' and 'male = muscles, cars, chicks, hot tanned bodies' and they're extremely rigid. So when some men like things that can be considered feminine, like fashion, they don't feel like they fit in with society's definition of 'male' and decide to invent some buzzword to describe themselves. I'm a feminine-normative male, when really he's just a guy who likes girl things.

You don't need some special snowflake 'gender' for that.

There is only male and female, masculine and feminine - these are societal, mental, and biological facts of the human species. There is no agender, nongender, third gender. I think it's odd that people try so hard to single out their identity when it's really nothing special. You can be a girl who likes cars, a guy who likes pink, and that doesn't mean anything bad. Why invent some word for you? I'm similarly against 'cisgender' and 'I'm trans' and every other label that's been invented. Just be who you are and stop clinging to special snowflake words or misconceptions about the fluidity of gender roles.
I don't know if I've ever made fun of you before but you seem like a pretty cool girl, even if your vagina is an inside out snake.

even if your vagina is an inside out snake.
i don't need this

Too bad the forums only have male/female. I guess I'll just have to have meat popsicle as my personal text.

I honestly agree now.

Why the hell do you need 50 new options other than male and female, because even if you are transgender just choose the one you feel you should be, no need to say that you are if you feel like you are a male or female.

*mind blown*

Well of course all of those fluid gendered stuff are sometimes a thing, but that is why there is an "other" on most websites, not 50 loving options.
