Aug. 10, 2015 - PPM - 58 Genders

This week’s PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the Gender Identification Craze

Ever since Bruce Jenner became “Caitlyn” the US has gone nuts or in Bruce’s case “nut-less” in Gender Identification or in some cases GENDER CREATION.

Case in point, Facebook now allow users to select between three pronouns: "him," "her" or "their."  Facebook also has 58 gender options:

I have NO idea what the * means or the term Cis. I Thought Cis was a crime show on CBS

The Political Correctness tsunami has even crossed into what was main stream retail.  Target has announced they have gone “gender-neutral” and eliminated labels and the colors of blue and pink when identifying products.

In the spirit of the times, I have eliminated Target from my shopping options.

  

OK, I give – which of the 6 or 58 options are you?
