Since, that wasn't inclusive enough, the social networking site announced today it has added a 59th option: fill in the blank.

"Now, if you do not identify with the pre-populated list of gender identities, you are able to add your own," Facebook said in a statement. Despite that, however, one thing that has not changed is an "interested in" option for users to define whom they might want to date. That option still only allows men or women, but users can click both options, one option or neither option. They can also hide it entirely.
