In 2022, numerous gender options were presented for individuals to choose from and identify by in school surveys and program applications.

Throughout the year, dictionaries and government surveys have expanded beyond “female” and “male” gender options to provide selections and definitions of more than 100 gender identities; gender identity is “not visible to others” and can differentiate from the gender an individual is assigned at birth, according to the It Gets Better Project, an international organization focused on supporting the LGBTQ community. Here are 13 of those gender identity terms used throughout 2022.

  1. Genderfuck: Given as an option on San Francisco’s Guaranteed Income For Transgender People (GIFT), a program that gives monthly payments to transgender individuals making less than $600 per month, “genderfuck” is defined as an “expression that is intentionally fluid” and gives “no clear designation in terms of perceived gender,” according to the University of Rhode Island Gender and Sexuality Center.
  2. Demigirl: The Oregon Department of Education administered a 2022 student health survey that allowed 11-year-olds to choose “demigirl” as a gender option. “Demigirl” is for an individual who feels as if they are female but also feels that they lack a gender, according to the Center For Sexuality and Gender Diversity.
  3. Mahu Kane: A gender identity option provided on the Oregon Department of Education 2022 student health survey is only for students who identify as Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander. “Mahu Kane” is used to describe someone who is “in-between” and has both a masculine and feminine spirit, according to Ka Leo O Hawai’i, a student-run publication run by the University of Hawai’i Board of Regents.
  4. Butch: Another option on San Francisco’s GIFT program, “butch” is a masculine-related identity that is “a distinct gender identity and/or expression” but “does not necessarily imply that one also identifies as a woman or not.”
  5. Graygender: Applicants for the GIFT program were also given the choice to identify as “graygender” which refers to an individual who feels that they have a gender, but are “only mildly interested in expressing it,” the Women’s Media Center reported.
  6. Pangender: In 2022 the Oxford Dictionary added 18 gender identity terms including “pangender” which is a person who has multiple gender identities that they switch between “in a fluid manner.” “Pangender” is different from “pansexual,” which is “the emotional and physical attraction to individuals regardless of their gender identity or sexual orientation.”
  7. Brotherboy: An Australian term added to the Oxford Dictionary that refers to a person who was “assigned female at birth” but “identifies with or presents a masculine gender expression.”
  8. Cis: A school board member resigned in 2022 after stating she would not vote a “cis white male” for school board president. “Cis,” is short for “cisgender,” which means “whatever gender you are now is the same as what was presumed for you at birth,” according to the Transhub.
  9. X: As of August, New York residents can now have an “X” gender identity marker on their license, according to the Associated Press. “X” is an indication of a gender identity outside of “M” (male) or “F” (female).
  10. Non-Binary: Parents in an Utah school district were given the option to choose if their elementary-school-aged children identify as transgender or non-binary when registering for school. “Non-binary” is an “an umbrella term” for a gender identity that is “between the spectrum of the male and female binary,” according to Transhub.
  11. Enby: Added to Oxford dictionary in 2022, “enby” is another term for non-binary. The dictionary provided an example of “enby” in a sentence: “I’m enby. I’m not trans.”
  12. Faggot: A term listed on the GIFT program, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines “faggot” as a “gay person, used as a term of abuse and disparagement.” The term, however, is being “reappropriated” by those in the “LGBTQ2S+ community,” according to Freddie, an international team of clinicians and pharmacists focused on healthcare of the LGBTQ community.
  13. Agender: An option for 11-year-olds on the Oregon Department of Education 2022 student health survey that means to be lacking of gender.

“Young people gripped by gender identity mania deny the truth about human beings (e.g., the fact that a person is irrevocably either male or female) and cling to the demonstrably false belief that ‘saying so makes it true,'” Mary Hasson, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, which focuses on promoting the Catholic vision while responding to the challenges of gender ideology, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “But a new ‘gender identity’ label can’t change a person’s body. The truth is that ‘gender’ interventions destroy the body’s healthy functioning in a fruitless attempt to escape the body.”

The Oregon Department of Education, Oxford Dictionary and San Francisco’s GIFT program did not respond to the DCNF’s request for comment.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
