Fox News employees struggled to wrap their head around Facebook's decision to allow users to choose from a number of different terms to describe their gender, with one Fox News reporter asking "what if you identify as a pine cone?"
and the idiocy begins.
On February 13, Facebook announced that it would begin offering its users the ability to choose from a wider range of terms to describe their gender, including "transgender" and "cisgender." As Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrsion told the Associated Press, the change "means the world" to many Facebook users:"All too often transgender people like myself and other gender nonconforming people are given this binary option, do you want to be male or female? What is your gender? And it's kind of disheartening because none of those let us tell others who we really are," she said."This really changes that, and for the first time I get to go to the site and specify to all the people I know what my gender is."
i think that's just smart business, the world is changing and more people are tolerant if not accepting and many are accepting. the titles were only necessary for ad targeting.
but now the market too has change and those things previously not available are now and more stuff to come opening up a big slice of the market to bold web sites or should i say considerate.
