Despite ample opportunity to define oneself on Facebook using photos,
status updates and shared quizzes (Which Putin Are You?), the social
network was lacking one option in the past: any other gender assignation
aside from male or female. Thursday (February 13), Facebook has
remedied that situation.
To edit your gender, simply click on
"Update Info," then scroll down to "Basic Information." There you can
click "Edit," and, under gender, you can select from female, male or
custom. The last option allows you to plug in up to 50 different terms,
You can also choose how you want Facebook to refer to you: as "she," "he," or "them" -- as in "Wish them a Happy Birthday."
The option rolls out today to the social network's 159 million U.S. users.
