On February 13, Facebook added a new feature to its ever-expanding personalization regime; Now users can choose a gender option other than “man” or “woman.” 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. The need for these new options has been the subject of much debate, with some arguments stronger than others. For many, it has become a debate about human rights. Although many people do not think that the new gender options on Facebook are necessary, they still need to be analyzed from a biological, psychological, social and spiritual perspective in order to understand the human aspects. In order to understand the different gender options, they must first need to be explained. Some are familiar, while others are completely foreign. An ABC News article gave comprehensive definitions of Facebook's fifty-eight new gender options. A bigender person identifies as a man and a woman simultaneously. A person who identifies as CIS, short for “comfortable in skin,” identifies with the sex they were assigned at birth (male or female). Gender nonconforming refers to a person who identifies as a gender outside of the “traditional” spectrum; they are neither men nor women, but they are not both. A pangender person identifies with all available genders simultaneously. Trans (and all variations of the wording) refers to a person who does not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth and now identifies as the opposite sex. They may or may not undergo reassignment surgery to change their gender. Most people are fluid to some extent, even if they don't realize it. Bei...... middle of paper ......into a mental disorder?"
