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.
The gender and sex questions are just one change slated for the UC system. Gender-neutral restrooms and changing rooms are being installed and “the university is initiating a two-year project designed to coordinate and promote interdisciplinary study of genders and sexualities,” according to a UC press release.

Still trying to figure out what gender Janet is. I don’t think she anywhere on the list.
Delusional. Is UC offering a degree in Applied Bull Shit?
Do they have a line for “disabled black lesbian illegal alien waiting for gender reassignment surgery” so I can claim everyone is my oppressor?
There’s not enough capital letters in the alphabet to describe Nappy’s status.
Don’t forget to add Muslim to that list.
I wonder if they have a goal of achieving the perfect gender some time later on down the road, or if they just roll out of bed and go about seeing how bad they can fuck things up for the only two valid genders.
Sick shit. And there’s no turning back.
I’m an ‘Ass’ man should I right that down?
Long legs are also a plus….
I thought about that but then I’d have to throw myself off a building roof for being gay……
Why don’t they just remove the question altogether? Why do they need to know other than to count and report to the govt diversity police?
No.
The Left-handed, Lesbian, Latina-with-a-Limp Department is at Berkeley.
If that’s *all* you mark down,
they’d probably classify you as gay.
The problem is all inside your head
They said to me
You need to be labelled with more creativity
it’s hard to be normal nowadays
Don’t you agree?
There must be fifty ways to name your gender
Call yourself cis, Chris
Just be a girl, Pearl
Say you’ve gone trans, Franz
It’s such a cool scene
Tell me you’re straight, Kate
No need to be gay, Ray
Maybe you’re queer, dear
It’s twenty-fifteen.
None of these questions, including any about your race, appear on any forms for Hillsdale College. It is the only safe college for your children.
Him/her/it’s real aim is not to make himself/herself/it uncomfortable. To the vile Creature from the Obungo administration charity begins at home!
Gosh Napolitano, I really want to call you by the correct gender, I really do, I just don’t know what that gender is! I would also like to call you by the correct phylum, but I don’t know what that is either
(some kind of animal or plant is the closest I can come)!
The name Incompetano serves her well still. To illustrate the Peter Principle, we will now discuss Nappy.
I think Hymenoptera fits her well.
Sorta like Libby Hymen was Buster Hymen’s sister. There, I made myself laugh.
Harry Reid told me Janet was second cousin, twice removed, of Seymour Butts, of bleacher building fame.
When a friend of mine first saw Janet’s picture, he called her Skunk mullet. It stuck.
