University of California offers six choices for 'gender identity'

[EdinVA]

Admission applications used by the UC system are giving potential students a host of choices for gender-related questions – including six varieties to describe “gender identity.” The questions, which will go into circulation this fall, are voluntarily answered and responses don’t impact the admissions process, a UC spokesperson told The College Fix.

Applicants 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.”

By contrast, some of the other questions seem downright limiting in potential answers. For instance, “what sex were you assigned at birth” has only two choices: male or female. A question about sexual orientation features three possible responses: “heterosexual or straight,” “gay or lesbian” or fill-in-the-blank.

Are these trick questions?

Now that we can redefine marriage to mean whatever strikes our fancy, why not redefine absolutely everything? Words no longer have meaning, at least for more than a minute or two - then a new meaning comes along.

What! No male lesbian?

I think that falls under "different identity"

I'm really starting to believe Americans have way too much free time on their hands.
