FACEBOOK TO FURTHER CATEGORIZE MALE AND FEMALE AS OTHER–LIKE LGBTQ FOR INSTANCE–SO IF YOUR NOT ONE OF THESE ASK FACEBOOK TO DETERMINE WHAT YOU ARE

Facebook will now allow users to identify not only as male or female, but as androgynous, bi-gender, intersex or any other identity they choose — a move that’s being celebrated by the LGBTQ community.

The change, which Facebook announced on its Diversity page Thursday afternoon, will initially apply only to the company’s 159 million users in the U.S., according to AP. But the company says that, at some point, it hopes to roll out the third, “customizable” gender option to international users, as well. At least 56 preset options are available in that field, per Slate.  Here’s what it looks like:
