Reminds me of the Diaspora gender option conversation. http://www.sarahmei.com/blog/2010/11/26/disalienation/
But since the subject came up again, IMHO the simplest way for facebook and/or diaspora to tackle the 'transgender problem' would be to simply add a third gender option: It's Complicated.

In my case, however, since I still believe in the gender binary I'm just relieved that facebook allows you to change your sex with a mouse click - many apps assume that never happens (what can I say? I'm an edge case.)
