I'm honestly confused here. There's been all these sorts of people claiming to be other genders besides male, female and some say their some kind of animal person. What the FUCK does that mean? Can someone explain what the hell is going on with these situations?

Can't recall how many exactly, but there are now something like a dozen genders that some people have decided exist.
It's like string theory or some shit, yo.

I'm not on Facebook, but apparently there are over 50 gender options to choose from there. I don't get it either. I'm a progressive guy and I'm totally down with someone realizing they're transgender, but I still don't see how even then you'd need more than 5 or 6 options. Male/Female/Trans-male/Trans-female/ . I don't know, but if it means people feel included and teenagers don't kill themselves for feeling left out, then it's a good thing. Here's the Facebook list. 58 options, lots of which sound like pretty much the same thing. abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/02/heres-a-list-of-58-gender-options-for-facebook-users/

sounds a little wierd, some of it seems to cross into sexuality and spirituality rather than actual genders.

I don't even know all of these. So their are some people out their who's gender is gender? What does that even mean? No. Read the list. There are people who aren't sure of their gender identity, and that list covers them. Whether they use the term "Gender Questioning" or "Gender Nonconforming" is up to that person. Just like there are people who are biologically one gender, but they identify themselves with the opposite gender. Human psychology is incredibly complex, and there have always been people who don't fit neatly into the traditional male/female definition, and I think it's actually pretty cool of Facebook to go as far as they have in accommodating them. But yeah, 58 different genders is really more confusing than anything, and I'd need to have someone explain to me the difference between a Cisgender Man (someone born with male anatomy who identifies as male) and a Cisgender Male (sounds like the same thing), but then again I'm not one of the people they're trying to reach with this.

That cisgender male and cisgender man crap sounds like someone who just wants to be different, im sorry it just seems like too much
Edit soing a quick cursory sesrch, cisgender means your physical,menta,l and sexual preferences all match. So your a straight "normal" gender.
