UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA OFFERS SIX GENDER IDENTITY OPTIONS

The University of California admissions department is giving potential students a choice of six varieties to describe their “gender identity.” Applicants to the school can choose male, female, trans male/trans man, trans female/trans woman, gender queer/gender non-conforming and “different identity” to describe their “gender identity.” A question about sexual orientation features three possible responses: “heterosexual or straight,” “gay or lesbian” or fill-in-the-blank.
* How about “It depends on what mood I’m in”?
* What if you rotate based on the days of the week?
* You go through six choices, then Sunday is a day of rest.
* It’s like the presidential polls. You can even choose undecided.
* “Sorry, we have decided to reject your application. Simply being a male or a female just isn’t enough anymore.”
* Please. I had a tough enough time just picking a major.
* I feel bad for Pope Francis. He’s trying so hard to be cool, but has no idea how to react to all this.
* Of course if enough people pick “gender non-conforming” then it becomes conforming.
* Be sure to specify what sexual orientation you are sober, and what one you become after you get hammered at the dorm kegger.
* We’re gonna need a bigger aisle for greeting cards.
