On February 13, Facebook added a new feature to its ever-growing personalization regime; users can now choose a gender option other than "male" or "female." Many people were surprised by this because, after all, what else could there be? In fact, there are now fifty-eight things it could be, ranging from agender to pangender and everything in between. There has been much discussion about the need for these new options, and some arguments are stronger than others. For many it has become a debate about human rights. Although many people do not think that Facebook's new gender options are necessary, they still need to be analyzed from biological, psychological, social and spiritual points of view to understand the human aspects. To understand the different gender options, they first need to be explained. Some are familiar, while others are completely unfamiliar. An ABC News article provided comprehensive definitions for all fifty-eight of Facebook's new gender options. Someone who is bigender identifies as both male and female at the same time. Those who identify as CIS, short for “comfortable in skin,” identify with the sex assigned to them at birth (male or female). Gender non-conforming refers to someone who identifies with a gender outside of the “traditional” spectrum; they are not male and they are not female, but they are not both. Someone who is pangender identifies with all available genders at once. Trans (and all variations of the term) refers to someone who does not identify with the gender assigned at birth, and now identifies as the opposite. They may or may not undergo sex reassignment surgery. Most people are genderfluid to some degree, even if they don't realize it. Bei...... middle of paper ......en a Mental Disorder?"
