Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Facebook goes
beyond 'male' and 'female' with new gender options!
How you identify
your gender status is how you want to be recognized by others. When you are
asked to create your profile such as the D.O.B, race, school, religion or interests, you want to type the exact information or choose the most suitable
options, not just the closest.
In addition to
male or female, Facebook, the world largest social networking service, now
offers more gender options for those who wish to identify themselves more
accurately, such as lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, as many as 50! Accordingly,
they also added a gender-neutral pronoun “they/their.”
Enjoy reading and
learning what gender options people might want to choose to identify
themselves.
