"Facebook today announced it has added the ability to select a custom gender on your profile, a change it has made after working closely with LGBT activist groups. The feature will only be available to people in the US for now, but Facebook plans to expand availability &amp;quot;in the future.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nA custom gender on your Timeline means that aside from male and female, you can choose a third category: &amp;quot;other.&amp;quot; This will open up a menu where you can select up to 10 gender definitions, including &amp;quot;cisgender,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;transgender,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;intersex,&amp;quot; as well as many other options the company says refers to as &amp;quot;nuanced.&amp;quot; The feature also lets users define which pronoun they'd like to be referred to as on the site: male (he/his), female (she/her) or neutral (they/their).\r\n\r\nImage Credit: Brendan Smialowski/AFP/GettyImages"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
