Currently, what gender would you say you are, out of these FIFTY?

Like you, I have no idea what most of these are. But variety is the spice of life, as they say. The important thing is that (if it's actually true), they aren't forcing anything on anyone surely. People can still identify as men/women if they choose - arguably however, perhaps they should also allow you to leave that field blank when you get an account.

All that's important is that people can express themselves freely, that's what true freedom is all about is it not?

It seems that currently, you need to choose either male or female, however you can choose not to show that information on your timeline. Since this has appeared in the Mirror - hardly a "news" paper at all - it's probably best to take it with a pinch of salt until it actually happens.

The British gutter press are not known for accurate reporting. Quite frankly, I wouldn't even consider them good enough to wipe my ar5e with.

Reporting of the alleged EU law that was going to ban bent bananas comes to mind. Of course it turned out to be complete tosh.
