This is tragicomic. I actually dare any American call Europe "leftist" when progressivism is eating you up. This is literally so sad and hilarious at the same time.Members of the Harvard Computer Club just wanted to have a little fun for Valentine’s Day, so they created a system called “Datamatch’ that would help students find companions for the holiday. But unfortunately for the HCC, they included only two genders in Datamatch’s options—and now they’re in big trouble.
Twenty six members of Harvard’s Undergraduate Council signed a letter admonishing the dastardly programmers for not including other genders (including “genderqueer” and “non gender-conforming”) in their list of options.
Instead, Datamatch simply had a small box in the profile allowing students to elaborate on their sexual identification and preferences, if they first selected either “male” or “female.”
Students said that such a setup was insufficient because it implied that the “gender binary” was “normal.” “Calling gender non-conformity or any gender non-binary identity ‘extra’ is sort of tactless nomenclature,” one student told the Harvard Crimson.
Folks, before you release an app on the market, make sure you name every single gender there is. You must also spell it correctly because there are obviously striking and important differences between nongender and agender, and Two-Spirit and intersex and all that.
Remember just how great of a deed you are doing by naming every single scientifically proven and indisputably existing gender wherever possible. Not only are you helping to improve the happiness of 0.001% of the people with a gender under siege by primitive social standards, but you are also setting a wonderful example for all the third world nations currently fighting corruption, poverty and disease. If you can fight primitive social standards that prevent every single individual from automatically knowing when to mention a hundred genders, so too can the children in Africa unite and rebel against their corrupt leaders!
