MENLO PARK, Calif. You dont have to be just male or female on Facebook anymore. The social-media company has added a customizable option with about 50 different terms people can use to identify their gender and three preferred pronoun choices: he/him, she/her or a neutral they/them.
Facebook said the changes initially will cover the companys 159 million monthly users in the United States and are aimed at giving people more choices in how they describe themselves, such as androgynous, bi-gender, intersex, gender fluid or transsexual.
Theres going to be a lot of people for whom this is going to mean nothing, but for the few it does impact, it means the world, said Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison, who worked on the project and is undergoing gender transformation, from male to female. On Thursday, while watchdogging the software for problems, she said she was also changing her Facebook identity from female to transwoman.
Facebook, which has 1.23billion active monthly users worldwide, also allows them to keep their gender identity private and will continue to do so.
The Williams Institute, a think tank based at UCLA, estimates there are at least 700,000 individuals in the United States who identify as transgender, an umbrella term that includes people who live as a gender different from the one assigned to them at birth.
The move by Facebook represents a basic form of recognition of the nations growing transgender-rights movement, which has been spurred by veteran activists and young people who identify as transgender at younger ages. The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) last year found that 10 percent of the 10,000 lesbian, gay, bisexual transgender youths it surveyed used other or wrote in their own gender terms.
Over the past few years, a persons Facebook profile truly has become their online identity, and now Facebook has taken a milestone step to allow countless people to more honestly and accurately represent themselves, HRC President Chad Griffin said.
The change to the gender-selection option is seen as a major step toward acceptance for people who dont self-identify as male or female, but the high-profile development seemed senseless to those who believe in two genders, no more.
Of course Facebook is entitled to manage its wildly popular site as it sees fit, but here is the bottom line: Its impossible to deny the biological reality that humanity is divided into two halves: male and female, said Jeff Johnston, an issues analyst for Focus on the Family, a national religious organization based in Colorado Springs, Colo. Those petitioning for the change insist that there are an infinite number of genders, but just saying it doesnt make it so.
Selectingtransgender in a dropdown box isnt necessarily so simple for some trans people, who may prefer to continue using the male or female designation, said Carrie Davis, 54, who works at The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York City.

Nearly four years ago, "A Study in Pink," the first episode of the BBC'sSherlock, aired. And just five minutes into the episode, it became clear that the new series would be a new take not just on the Sherlock Holmes mythos, but on television drama as a whole. In the middle of a press conference where a beleaguered Inspector Lestrade was answering questions from reporters, the viewer heard a number of text message alerts -- and then, as each reporter checked their phone, saw all their text messages appearing onscreen.
Since then, that technique -- floating words representing text messages, internet searches, or some other form of technological interface -- has become a core element of the series' identity. And while there are plenty of tech-savvy shows out there, it's that technique that makesSherlockso incisive: not only is it reflective of our practices, but more importantly, it says as much about us as it does about its characters.
Echoes of that first-season press conference scene abound in a similar scene from this season's "The Empty Hearse": Multiple Twitter hashtags flood the screen as word spreads that Holmes is far more alive than had been previously believed. "It was really as simple as [director] Paul McGuigan not wanting to do close ups of a whole load of phones whilst we read the texts," producer Sue Vertue tells Wired about the origins of the show's visualisation of social media and text messaging. (McGuigan directed four episodes of the series across its first two seasons, and developed the idea during preparation for "The Great Game," which was actually shot before "A Study in Pink.")
"Episode 1 was written and shot last, and so could make the best use of onscreen text as additional script and plot points, such as the text around the screen of the pink lady," Vertue explains. "If you notice, 'The Blind Banker' doesn't use [floating text] a great deal, as it had already been written, and the script didn't lend itself so easily to the style in post-production."
Overall, Vertue says, "the writers have genuine fun playing around with the text stuff now. I love the drunk, out-of-focus texts that we've used in 'The Sign of Three' -- it really adds to the richness of the storytelling, I think."
That may be true, but as with so many aspects ofSherlock, there's an element of misdirection going on here, with the fun, eye-catching slickness of the visualisation distracting from a deeper commentary the show is making about its characters' relationship with technology -- and, by extension, our own relationship with it, as well.
"In a modern-day Sherlock Holmes series, wehadto incorporate social media -- it would seem weird and old fashioned not to," Vertue says. Such an attitude is in keeping with the spirit of Holmes -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's original incarnation of the hero was both modern and populist in his use of technologyat time of publication, after all -- butSherlocktakes the character's reliance on props and outside elements to a new level.
Sherlock isn't alone in that -- internet and cellphone usage abounds throughout the cast, especially as a shorthand for emotional connections (or the lack thereof). Whether it's characters refusing to answer certain peoples' calls, or Sherlock nagging Watson into submission via text onslaught, we all know what these things meanbecause we do them ourselves. The show is, unlike nearly everything else on television, reflecting our own reality back to us.
But that's truly crystallised in Sherlock himself. The show repeatedly emphasises that for all the man's deductive prowess, he's noticeably lacking in more basic areas of life. "The Great Game," for example, made light of this by revealing that he didn't know that the Earth revolved around the sun. At first that seems like an unforgivable contradiction, but consider of how ubiquitous web searching is on the show. This Sherlock doesn't need to be an infallible repository of objective information; he has the internet for that.
Yet, the fact that the show extends its visual text effect to Sherlock's thought process tells us that Sherlock is himself a computer. Consider what Sherlock said when Watson was making fun of him for not knowing about the Earth revolving around the sun: "Listen. This [pointing to his head] is my hard drive and it only makes sense to put things in there that are useful."

Reactivated late '80s/early '90s technical-thrash metallers BELIEVER will release their new album, "Transhuman", on April 12 (one day earlier internationally) via Metal Blade Records. The CD was produced by Trauma Team Productions and was mixed by Kevin Gutierrez (RAVEN, PROJECT: FAILING FLESH, DECEASED, DYSRYTHMIA, GARDEN OF SHADOWS) at Assembly Line Studios in Virginia.
Once again, BELIEVER tapped into the artistic genius of Michael Rosner and Eye Level Studio to produce the "Transhuman" artwork and layout.
"We wanted to work with Roz again on 'Transhuman' as our visions of combining art and music truly parallel," the band said. "He just gets it and his artwork is outside the typical box in a way that we strive for musically. It is an amazing collaboration that we have with Roz that continues to evolve. We are excited for everyone to see the final layout!"
The band continued; "Sonically we're extremely happy with this album and can't wait for other people to hear it. We feel like this is a really strong and unique album in the BELIEVER catalog and it's something we're definitely proud of.
"So what will you hear? As we mentioned, we focused more on the overall musicality which included more instrumental layers than we used before. The vocals were also more of a focus as we have had much feedback throughout the years, specifically to get out of the one dimensional realm. Kurt [Bachman] wanted the vocals to be more complimentary to the overall tune feel, so he used many facets of his vocal abilities.
"As with all BELIEVER albums, this one is definitely unique."
Transhumanism: The study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies.
Fans can pre-order their copy of "Transhuman" at link textthis location where the album is available on its own or bundled with a t-shirt. Also available on the band's pre-order page is a video that shows how the cover art came to be. Below are some images taken from the extraordinary artwork within the CD's packaging.
BELIEVER performed live for the first time in 16 years on September 25, 2009 at Sterling Hotel in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The band's fourth album, "Gabriel", was released in March 2009 through KILLSWITCH ENGAGE frontman Howard Jones's new imprint label Cesspool Records via Metal Blade. The CD featured guest appearances by Jones, Joe Rico (SACRIFICE), CKY/WORLD UNDER BLOOD guitarist/vocalist Deron Miller and Rocky Gray (EVANESCENCE, SOUL EMBRACED, LIVING SACRIFICE).

Are You a Transhuman?: Monitoring and Stimulating Your Personal Rate of Growth in a Rapidly Changing World by FM-2030
Towards the end of the eighties, I had came across a few unusual books, which retrospectively had somehow influenced what I am doing today & in fact what I love to do today i.e. to pursue future-focused, change-oriented, brain-based technologies.
This unique book was one of them. It had been brilliantly written by a 'self-described chronic optimist' & a widely-traveled futurist/philosopher of Iranian origin, whose adopted name, FM-2030, seemed to resonate with his life-long obsessive conviction to create "a world of boundless wealth, endless life & unlimited free refills." [His real name was F M Esfandiary. I understand FM-2030 died from pancreatic cancer on July 8, 2000 at the age of 69, & was placed in cryonic suspension at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, where his body remains today.]
Although I do not subscribe to all the author's beliefs & values as embodied in his book, I certainly admired his bold initiatives & far-sightedness.
This wonderful book spelt out both personal strategies & practical pathways to help people to achieve longevity & immortality. To me, it had served as a comprehensive field guide to life extension or 'transhumanism', which was the term the author would prefer to use.
From my personal perspective, the greatest learning experience I got out of this book is learning - & understanding - how to access & apply available technolgies &/or new products or services to extend human capabilities & capacities in an ethical, safe & responsible manner.

Transhuman is the fifth full-length album by the American technical thrash metal band Believer, released on April 11, 2011 on Metal Blade Records.
A concept album, the band stated that the lyrics deal with transhumanism, "The study of the ramifications, promises, and potential dangers of technologies that will enable us to overcome fundamental human limitations, and the related study of the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies." The band stated that the source of inspiration was Dr. Ginger Campbells Brain Science Podcast, which explores recent discoveries in neuroscience, as well as Dr. Thomas Metzingers scientific research and philosophical study of consciousness and the self.[1]
Musically, the band stated that they "focused more on the overall musicality which included more instrumental layers than we used before."[4] Sputnik Music noted that the band dropped most of the aggressive thrash metal elements in favor of more melodic, modern, mid-tempo and mechanical style.[1] About.com reviewer wrote that the album's genre is difficult to pigeon hole, featuring elements of industrial, psychedelic and soundtrack music among technical metal.[5]
