Facebook Now Allows Users To Customize Gender Description

“[W]e want you to feel comfortable being your true, authentic self,” writes the website on its own Diversity page. “An important part of this is the expression of gender, especially when it extends beyond the definitions of just ‘male’ or ‘female.’”

Facebook, in collaboration with Network of Support, has added an extensive list of new options for users to describe themselves.

oh please! this is ridiculous. Either you have indoor plumbing or outdoor plumbing. Once you get rid of it, then change your sex, if you feel that what God gave you is not good enough.

At Boog Powell's Angler's Marine on Boca Chica Key, Florida, the restrooms are marked "inboards" and "outboards".

There is no third or fourth bathrooms.

I guess at Facebook, they need, what 37 bathrooms?

FRUITCAKE is what Jim Ireton and Chuck Cook are.
