Univ of CA offers SIX CHOICES for gender identity

Big shocker that this is happening in CA.
The University of California admissions department believes students can be whatever they want to be.
At least when it comes to their gender.
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.

Kind of ridiculous to not have wolfkin. I guess CA universities don't care about our kind.

They forgot "gender non confirming".

So basically:
We don't care give us your money.

I guess bisexuals have to check two boxes and trisexuals check "all of the above".

There needs to be a hyperlink to this post for the OT and PoliBoard for threads like this...
Well done.

The fact that such possible identities are encouraged and accepted does not bode well for the future.
Posted on 7/28/15 at 3:02 pm to jbgleason
and this is a big deal why?

I was born a man but I identify as a person who was born a lesbian woman then had gender reassignment surgery to become a man and had hormone therapy.
So I was born as a man and I currently live as a straight male but in my mind I am actually a post op tranny male lesbian.
Where's my box?
Oh that's right. I turned it into a dick in my brain.
