Strictly FYI and for a good laugh ... followed by a healthy cry, ping!
(Facebook expands male and female to 58 customizable genders)
Just the beginning of Facebooks “problems”.. or the end.. makes little difference..
This is why, except for its proper place in language or jocularisms (cf. Fowler’s Modern English Usage, 2nd Ed.), I avoid the word “gender”. The word “sex” is not a societal construct. You can argue whether it is in the head, someplace else, or all of the above, but it is real.
Marriage equality for kielbasa! It will happen if kielbasa can join forces with the more powerful bacon lobby.
I’ll accept an expansion to three: man, woman, and pervert.

The only reason they made all these “choices” is to cover the fact that they deleted “male” and “female” as options.
Now, you can call yourself anything you want. Unless, of course, you want to call yourself “male” or “female.”
And look at the rank hypocrisy - on the one hand, words make a difference. So that’s why thy offer 58 different words and phrases, because words make a difference, and everyone should have the right to use the words THEY want to use to describe themselves.
EXCEPT people who want to describe themselves as “male” or “female.” For those people their “right” to describe themselves is DENIED.
In fact, the obvious implication is that these common terms of “male” and “female” are somehow now OFFENSIVE - which means that people who want them are ABUSERS.
Naked, liberal totalitarianism right in your Facebook.
That’s about it for me. I’ve had it with facebook, so I went over to my account and changed my name to So Long Notinterested.
Strange, I don’t see faggot or dyke as an option.
Sometimes you feel like you have nuts : Sometimes you don't!
I am Vienna sausage.
What the hell is a “Facebook” and who the hell gives a rat’s patootie?
They call me Tater.
KIELBASA--sausages.
They are all big FAT WEENIES!!!!
President Reagan reportedly declared himself to be a jelly donut - is that one of the choices?
first I thought the article was going to be about food! then I saw cis-trans and then thought it was going to be about organic chemistry, boy was I wrong!
The new gender menu was so much like something out of The Onion already, I didn’t think it was possible either to satirize it or to add to it. Whoever came up with “kielbasa” did both. Bravo. Bravo, I say.
