Another Web site I frequent has a pulldown menu on the personal profile page for indicating your preferred gender identity. Here are the contents of that menu. I’m not making this up:
Male
Female
Other
It’s Complicated
Agender
Androgyne
Bigender
Cisgender Female
Cisgender Male
Demi-female
Demi-male
Female to Male
FTM
Gender Fluid
Gender-neutral
Gender Nonconforming
Gender Questioning
Gender Variant
Genderqueer
Intersex
Male to Female
Man
Neither
Neutrois
Non-binary
Pangender
Queer
Trans Man
Trans Woman
Transgender
Transgender Female
Transgender Male
Transgender Man
Transgender Person
Transgender Woman
Transfeminine
Transmasculine
Transexual
Transexual Female
Transexual Male
Transexual Person
Two-Spirit
Woman
Really, 43 genders to choose from? Of course a lot of these are variant labels for the same thing: Am I a man, male, or cisgender male? Is TaraElla a trans woman, transgender female, or transexual person? But that’s just the point: all this semantic hairsplitting, not to mention umbrage at the use of the wrong label, serves no purpose other than to convince reasonable people that you have gone off the deep end. We need to cut it out and start talking about real issues.
I'm sure those people in the video Steve posted would be broiling their own brains in rage that their own favored affectation wasn't in the list.
I see shorter dropdowns in some job descriptions. Were I a hiring manager I would reject anyone who selected "they/them" since such people are bound to be nothing but trouble at work.

"We need to cut it out and start talking about real issues."
WE WILL NOT STOP UNTIL THERE ARE ~8 BILLION OPTIONS ON THAT DROP DOWN!!😅
STOP OPPRESSING ME
And God help you if you forget them all or which one applies to whom.
I think when I have to "expand comment" to get the full list, it's too much. LOL? Yeah, why not. Semantic hairsplitting indeed.
Issues like not broiling the planet.
