Oh god I hate the term "cis."

Other than that I have no issue and don't care.
Does someone have a list of all the options? I'd would really like to see how on earth you can make such a mess of something this simple: male, female and a handful of genetical anomalies.

nadenitza: 50? I don't think i heard more than male, female, trans and bi... wtf are the rest 46?
Trans and Bi are not genders, those are sexual preferences. If a guy likes guys and girls his gender is still male, just his sexual preference is different.
As far as I know human beings are male, female, or both (have male and female parts). Orientation I figure is separate from gender.

Telika: I'm not much into Facebook stuff, but it DOES have a "fuck you, none of your business" option, amongst these 50, right ?
Just use bisexual and that should probably include everyone living at least partially without conveying too much info.
"gender fluid" ................ hehehehehehehe.
While I think it's a nice thing to expand to more than just male or female (gender isn't the same as sex, after all), I honestly have to say... 50? Really? I'd be hard pressed to go beyond two handfuls of meaningful terms, and that is by including both sex and gender under the same header.
Lol, can't wait fot the addition of a DSM or ICD table.
One of the options had better state simply "Batman".

stoicsentry: I guess it's good for what it's worth. Personally, I'm just thankful that the trans* people aren't forcing me to choose their bull**** made up labels like "cisgender male."
Because it always was a legitimate concern and not anyone's irrational homo/transphobia.
Also, gay people might decide to force you to marry a person of your own gender, and black people might want to force you to marry a black person. Holy kittens what if they team up? Better watch out.

(GOG used to have fancy gender options. I miss them.)

Yeah, that really has something or other to do with what I said.

Yes, it does. You have expressed concern that evil trans people might deprive you of a right to determine your own gender as you see fit in the OP. That concern is irrational, and there's a word for it: transphobia.

Trans is neither a gender nor a preference. It's a word to denote a person whose physical appearance does not currently match or had to be medically corrected to match their gender (no matter what it is).

My only mistake was excluding trans* allies in the original post. Did you read the whole thread? Because that literally just happened like a page ago.

I see stupid people.
And they seem to always be Conservative, God-fearing Warriors TM. Because conservatives like labeling people so much :)
If you don't like it, you can always just... not use any of those choices they have.
Trans and multi sexual people are here to stay, like it or not. It's funny watching fascists attempt to resurrect the Nazi regime on Gog though.

There are God fearing conservatives on GOG?

Yup, which is a good thing. People get to choose.

Are you saying this about the type of people that refuse to let you identify yourself? If so, I agree. That includes the social justice crowd too when they try to do it. (Within reason, of course. I still think making up a random pronoun and demanding that everyone call you that is nuts.)
