Beginning this year, students applying to University of California will pick from male, female, trans male, trans female, gender queer/gender non-conforming and different identity.

School officials said that the change aims to make the application process more inclusive for people who define themselves outside the traditional gender brackets.

President of the UC system, Janet Napolitano, said: ‘UC is working hard to ensure our campuses model inclusiveness and understanding.

‘I’m proud of the work we’ve done so far, but it doesn’t stop there. We much continue to look at where we can improve so everyone at US feels respected and supported.’

Students at the school are delighted by the change.

‘I feel like this is just a way of including everyone,’ student Augustine Pimentel told CBS Los Angeles. ‘I don’t mind; everybody do what they want. I don’t want to judge people,’ added Nizar Hakim.

Donna Taqawi said: ‘I feel like people should have their freedom to be called what they want to be called.’

It’s six now, but that number should climb exponentially.

How is gender identification of any significance to a college education?

It is important bit of info for the administrators to better know how to focus on each student's victimhood for identity politics studies.

Well...in spite of all the warnings, there will be plenty of weeping to come for those who have separated themselves from God’s flock.
