No matter what’s your opinion on human genders may be, a truism that we can’t get rid of is that we are all complex creatures. Perhaps Facebook is indeed fulfilling their Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) after reporting their step up in the suicide prevention cause, Facebook is once again promoting themselves to be very socially responsible, where users can now use any terms they wish to describe their gender.

It was a dull affair previously where Facebook has only allows its user to choose within a series of choice confined to their specification. Now, the gender field is so free-form you can literally type in anything you wish.

To change your listed gender, all you got to do is log in to your Facebook page, click on the link to Edit Profile under your name and photo. In the About section on your Edit Profile page, click the link for Contact and Basic Info. On the right, hover over the Gender field under Basic Information and click Edit Link. Then click the Gender dropdown box and choose Custom. This will then allow you to type in who you are.

You can then decide which pronoun you’d like others to use when they address you. You can also make the gender public or private or share it with just whoever you would like.

The custom gender option is currently only available to Facebook users using US English.
