According to the introduction for Ezra Klein’s podcast last week, in 2014 Facebook offered its users at least 58 genders to choose from. WHAT??! Fascinating! Ezra’s show was good, but the 58 genders weren’t mentioned in the interview. I had to look them up.
We only had two genders to choose from when I was in kindergarten, and apparently I wasn’t sure which to pick.
