Not man or woman on Facebook? Don't worry. There are other options too now. Facebook is opening up its male/female binary and adding a host of new options across the gender spectrum. Now you can choose up to 50 new terms from "androgynous," "transsexual," or "cisgender."

Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison, who worked on the project, told the Associated Press. Harrison says she plans on switching her Facebook identity from Female to TransWoman. "All too often transgender people like myself and other gender nonconforming people are given this binary option, do you want to be male or female? What is your gender? And it's kind of disheartening because none of those let us tell others who we really are," she adds.
