Sex isn't binary either.
In the vast majority of cases it is.

I was attracted to hard sciences because the subjectivity of things like psychology turned me off. Statements like yours make me concerned that liberal arts departments are going to try to make science fit their narrative. The roles of male and female is one of the most universally common behaviors across specifies. If I grew a vagina and had a baby it doesn't make me a different gender. It means I took on some of th…
That's a very positivist approach, and I hope the liberal arts continue to erode such binary based thinking in the sciences as I believe that philosophy makes better scientists. . And so what if you "made up" another gender? Gender is socially constructed and is not a real, concrete construct. I'm sorry that considering concepts and people as unable to be hyper taxonomized by artificial constraints is inconvenient to…

One could say that there is an expectation that only other tinder users will discover you. Kinda like going to a bar or a strip club, which are activities that your community may disapprove of. Thus, you only encounter members outside of your community, or community members who are cool with it.
To use the things in the blog post you still need a Tinder account. A disapproving family member could still go to a bar or open an account to try to find you there. Which you should be aware of because they are both still publicly accessible spaces.

A trait either is binary or is not (being binary is , itself, binary.) A trait that the vast majority of the time takes on one of two values, but other times takes on other values, is not binary.

I guess it is like that in Australia though.

There are more than two options in conservative biology as well. [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite
The very first sentence of your link says "both male and female". In nature they have the ability to act as both male or female.

Are there more than two genders now?
Yes, and I'm not sure why he's getting downvoted. This is a legitimate Facebook feature. Gender can be either Male, Female, or Custom, and Facebook gives you the option to choose which gender pronouns you prefer. Thus, to see it represented as a boolean is unusual. I'm curious as to what the value of that field is when a user has chosen Facebook's custom gender display options.
