Two-Spirits is interesting.
A Cis Male is a man whom isn't transgender so...Cis Male, Cis Man and Man are the EXACT same things.....
same with Cis Female, Cis Women and Women.

Man is more....manly?

Plus, one could argue that a young boy would be a male, but not a man, if you use the word "man" to denote adulthood.

And am I a man if I'm a mouse? bad joke I know

Just changed mine to Other, but it would be better if there was an option for somebody who thinks gender is arbitrary and refuses to label them self.
“The real political task in a society such as ours is to criticize the workings of institutions that appear to be both neutral and independent, to criticize and attack them in such a manner that the political violence that has always exercised itself obscurely through them will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them.”

Why? The gender of some people isn't man or woman, and they should be free to identify so.

Neutrois is an identity used by individuals who feel they fall outside the gender binary.

Two-Spirits are indigenous North Americans who fulfill one of many mixed gender roles in First Nations and Native American tribes.

I know...letting people specify the nature of the "other", it's madness!


It is? Good, I was worried that it was actually Sparta for a second.

Seriously though, good for Facebook, I guess. I mean, I don't use Facebook, so it doesn't really affect me, but good for the people who can properly express their gender now.

Yeah, seems to be the case. I don't have it either.
