Facebook allows gender choices
Summary
14 February 2014
American users on the social network Facebook can now choose a variety of
different terms to define their gender other than just male or female. The company
said it wanted its users to feel comfortable being their true selves.
Reporter:
Alastair Leithead
Report
Up until now, Facebook's 1.2 billion or so users have had only two choices to
define themselves: male or female, but now social networkers, initially just in the
US, have a wider range of options.
The company said it worked with gay and transgender advocacy groups to
select around 50 terms, including "transsexual", "bi-gender" and "androgynous".
Users can also choose whether to be referred to as "he", "she" or "they."
One of Facebook's software engineers who worked on the project is going through
a male to female sex change. Brielle Harrison said while it won't mean much to a
lot of people, "for the few it does impact, it will mean the world".
It reflects the growing influence of the transgender rights movement in the US,
which is demanding similar civil rights to the gay community.
Facebook's move has been welcomed by activists who said they "applaud
Facebook for making it possible for people to be theirauthentic selves online."

Informe
Hasta ahora, más o menos 1,2 mil millones de usuarios de Facebook han tenido sólo dos
opciones para definir a sí mismos: hombres o mujeres, pero ahora las redes sociales,
inicialmente sólo en los EE.UU., tienen una gama más amplia de opciones.
La compañía dijo que ha trabajado con grupos de homosexuales y transexuales de
promoción para seleccionar alrededor de 50 términos, entre ellos "transexual ", " sexo bi"
y " andrógina”. Los usuarios también pueden elegir si se refiere como "él”, "ella" o "ellos ".
Uno de los ingenieros de software de Facebook que trabajaron en el proyecto se va a
través de un hombre a cambio de sexo femenino. Brielle Harrison dijo que si bien no
significa mucho para mucha gente ", para los pocos que lo hace el impacto, que
significará el mundo”.
Esto refleja la creciente influencia del movimiento de derechos de los transexuales en los
EE.UU., que exige derechos civiles similares a la comunidad gay.
Movimiento de Facebook ha sido bien recibida por los activistas que dijeron que "
aplauden Facebook por haber hecho posible que la gente sea su auténtico yo en línea. "
