Facebook allows gender choices

Facebook allows gender choices

Summarize

Users of Facebook had before two choices to describe themselves: female or male, but now social networkers, just in US, have multiple choices. Option to describe you are transsexual, bigender or also androgynous. 
This help to a people who want to express their feelings, their certainly sexuality. 


Thanks to this, Facebook demanding similar civil rights to the gay community. 

Opinion

I don't know this gender choices, but I agree to this, because in this free world, when people of XXI century have freedom a speach and people have to be as have to be. So if transgender or bisexual, it seems acceptable to do so by their social network.
