Facebook requires drag queens to use their real names
Daily Digest News ^ | 9-14-2014 | Craig Manning

Earlier this year, Facebook approved a new policy that allowed a broader range of gender identifications to be used on social profiles. The policy change, instead of just asking users to choose from “male” and “female,” offered 50 other options, including “other” and specific transgender identifications. The move was a resounding sign of acceptance from Facebook, but according to a report from Tech Times, the company may have just taken a step back.

This week, on September 10, many performers were automatically logged out of their Facebook profiles and had their accounts suspended. Facebook said that the move was made to enforce its policy that users are only allowed to use their real, legal names on personal profiles.

You must use you real name, but it's ok to misrepresent your gender.

Can I just misrepresent the size of my equipment?

LOL!

What in blazes is a “Neutrois”? A “Cis”?

They left one out: “IT”. Which covers all the above.

What idiocy.

They’ll really feel like idiots when they go in for a DNA test to see what their “gender” is. It’ll either be male or female.

No need for that. Any equipment emblazoned with the label, ‘Tonka’, fits within a standard size class...

Enthusiasm and skill trump size in certain “athletic” endeavors.

Why all the options with one star? What about major and lieutenant generals confused about which uniform to wear? Shouldn't they get more stars? On days like this I can understand the character in the Hitchhiker's Guide series who built a fence around his property and declared the rest of the world as an insane asylum.

Brings to mind a joke.

Very attractive and well packaged woman opened door to her blind date, revealing a mousy little man. Somewhat surprised, she boldly asked him the dimensions of his “equipment”. When he told her (rather diminutive) she sneered “And just who do you intend to please with that?”

He responded in a quiet but firm voice “Me”.

Unfortunately, I know this one. “Cis-gender” is a term they use to mean “near to their biological sex.”

So a Cis-gender male is somebody is for the most part male. The dweebs who buy into this steaming load of BS refuse to acknowledge that anybody is completely male or female. So to them we are the “cis-gender males” or “cis-gender females” instead of just being male or female.

The first person I hear calling me “cis-gender” anything to my face is probably gonna end up with a broken nose.

A “Neutrois” is probably some twist on being “gender neutral”. Why does there have to be a twist to it? Because nothing can ever be straightforward to these circus freaks.

Cis means the opposite of Trans.

So a Cis male, I guess, means a male-male.
