What kinda attitude is that? Isn't choosing one's gender a civil right? Well it soon will be and apathy will not be an option. You will be shamed, bullied or indoctrinated into caring.

You wanted a consequence of same-sex marriage and its insistence on the interchangeability of the sexes?

Here ya go.

PhilsFan · 02-17-2014, 11:01 PM

What are you even talking about? Those are like two contradictory sentences and I can't understand your point.

cobl04 · 02-17-2014, 11:04 PM

Although that list is pretty fucking ridiculous, who gives a shit what someone wants to identify as? INDY, if you are implying that you would be outraged if someone from the other side of the country decides to call themselves one of those 50 genders, you need to take a long hard look at yourself. It's not you, and it doesn't affect you.

you keep saying you're not ignorant, but then you go and post things like this.

you have no idea what you're talking about.

again, are you confused? do you think because i'm gay i'm also transgendered?

corianderstem · 02-17-2014, 11:16 PM

Well gosh, if it wasn't for same-sex marriage being legalized, no one would even think to identify as transgender or anything other than just plain ol' male or female!

Apparently there have never been any transgender people before this!

Vlad n U 2 · 02-18-2014, 06:56 AM

I don't see anything wrong with the Facebook thing, it's good. Although a lot of the genders listed are essentially the same thing, no? (ie. Cis Male and Cisgender Male) It comes down to which term one prefers.

Galeongirl · 02-18-2014, 08:05 AM

I do not see why this whole facebook thing has to be mentioned here. INDY, if you want to start a discussion on the whole transgender community and facebook, be my guest but start a new thread.

Since transgenderism has nothing to do with the topic of this thread.

BEAL · 02-18-2014, 10:40 AM

Facebook has caught the gay. I cant even open up the app and not feel confused about who I am and what I like.

Consequences guys, consequences

LemonMelon · 02-18-2014, 11:59 AM

Apparently, the gay can spread virtually. The internet needs to be quarantined until we get this gay thing all sorted out.

bono_212 · 02-18-2014, 12:56 PM

I'm confused... Male and Female aren't on that list. Are they just a given, or is there some other way it's being phrased? One of the acronyms I don't recognize? I'm sincerely asking this question....

Galeongirl · 02-18-2014, 01:11 PM

There's three options, male, female and other. Other gives you this list of possibilities.

BEAL · 02-18-2014, 01:35 PM

Before this Facebook change, I was fairly certain who I was/am.

Now it's apparent gender is a choice.

I have to rethink my whole life

OoOooOooo, thanks!

PhilsFan · 02-18-2014, 03:31 PM

Is this concept of cisgender a new one? Because this Facebook thing is the first I've heard of it.

LuckyNumber7 · 02-18-2014, 03:38 PM

I imagine they did a massive study just to make sure not to step on any toes by including every last desired gender title but one.

I've seen 'cis' or 'cisgender' mentioned a lot on certain blogs/sites in the past year or so.

jeevey · 02-18-2014, 03:45 PM

No, it's a common term in gender theory circles. It means, people who identify as the gender they were assigned at birth. It's an effort to normalize people who wear all these other identities by pointing out that the most common gender identification model is in fact an identification model, not a natural state, and refusing to call it the 'normal' one.
