Jon, concerning your post, I’m sure Harvard is as aware as our “public ivy” in Chapel Hill that there are many “genders.” See, for example, this:


UNC hosts its first ‘lavender graduation’
The Chapel Hill Herald

Since entering UNC as a freshman in 2002, Alex Ferrando has seen many advances in the campus culture for gay and lesbian students. … Today, though, marks another advance. The campus is hosting its first “Lavender Graduation,” a commencement ceremony for graduating lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer students, their allies, and sexuality studies minors.


Or they may know that, as appropriately reported in the San Francisco Chronicle, this:


“all bets are off [in trying to] delineate every conceivable stop on the [‘LGBT’] identity spectrum.

[Here are some of the new “sexual identities” listed]: “genderqueer,” “trannydyke,” “pansexual,” “boi,” “heteroflexible,” “FTM,” “MTF,” boydyke,” “trannyboy,” “trannyfag,” “multigendered,” “polygendered,” “queerboi,” “transboi,” “transguy,” “transman,” “half-dyke,” “bi-dyke,” “trisexual,” “omnisexual,” and “multisexual.”
