UK Facebook users can now choose from one of 71 gender options, including asexual, polygender and two-spirit person, following the feature's successful integration in the US.

Users can choose a different gender option from the previous male and female choices by selecting 'custom' in the gender tab of their profiles.

In addition, people who select a custom gender will now have the ability to choose the pronoun they'd like to be referred to publicly — male (he/his), female (she/her) or neutral (they/their).
