You no longer have to identify as “male” or “female” on Facebook. Beginning today, you can choose from 50 56 different gender identities including asexual, androgynous, transgender, genderqueer, and more.
According to the company’s official announcement, Facebook worked with its “Network of Support, a group of leading LGBT advocacy organizations” in order to select the 50 new gender identity options. Aside from identity, you can now also choose the pronouns Facebook uses when referring to you—male, female or neutral (they/their).
Here are the 56 we’ve identified so far—they’re only accessible via an autocomplete drop-down menu within Facebook, so please let us know if we’ve missed any:
