U.S. — The nation's leading scientists unveiled a new periodic table of genders to help everyone keep track of the evolving gender spectrum. Experts are recommending the table be rolled out to schools across the nation and added to each state's curriculum for grades 9-12.
The gender table features 114 genders in addition to a wild card space that represents the limitless imagination of the human mind.
"One of the biggest struggles with gender identity is that no one knows what you're talking about," said Dr. Stephen Andross. "I, myself, am amicagender, which means my gender identity changes depending on the friends I have. This is distinct from someone who is genderfluid or genderfuzz and now, thanks to our gender table, people can easily understand this."
"Why are you laughing?"
Scientists compiled their list of genders based on a survey of mentally ill patients and their own personal desires. Later, the information was distilled into a brief but meaningless combination of made-up words and categories.
In a survey of gender studies majors, it was found to be "mildly helpful."
At publishing time, California legislators voted to require teaching on the periodic table of genders beginning in kindergarten.
