The social networking outlet of the tech giant is the latest to let users define their gender identity however feels right to them.
Following on the heels of social networking sites like Facebook and OKCupid, users of Google+ will soon be able to set their own gender, reports TechCrunch.
Among a cascade of updates rolled out on Tuesday, the tech giant announced it will let users list their gender as more than just Male or Female. In fact, according to Google software engineer Rachael Bennetts post, Google+ users will now have access to an infinite number of ways to express your gender identity.
Prior to Tuesdays update which began its rollout on December 9 and should now be available to all users Google allowed users to list their gender as Male, Female, or Other to account for those whose identities didnt fit within a rigid gender binary.
Now, the gender field on your profile will contain four entries, Male, Female, Decline to state, and Custom, explains Bennett. When Custom is selected, a freeform text field and a pronoun field will appear. You can still limit who can see your gender, just like you can now.
These latest updates reflect similar changes recently embraced at Facebook which in February expanded its available list of gender identities available for users to select to more than 70 different options, depending on where users live and online dating site OKCupid, which in November announced it would allow users to choose from a wide range of gender identities and sexual orientations.
The updates to Google+, however, seem to be the most user-driven implementation of the trend to expand gender and sexuality listings on social networking sites. By allowing users to write their own identities under the Custom gender listing, Google has given users total freedom to self-identify however feels accurate to them. Users can also decide what pronouns theyd like the service to refer to them using, selecting male (he/him/his), female (she/her/hers), or other, using the gender-neutral singular they/their/theirs.
Most users with a Gmail, Google Hangouts, or YouTube account were required to set up a Google+ account if they signed up after September 2012. Although that requirement has now been lifted, according to BusinessInsider, users wanting to get the full functionality of Google products will need to sign up for a Google+ account, which can be done via a drop-down menu under the account settings.
Once users have set up and logged into their Google+ profile, they will be able to update their gender by clicking edit on the basic information section of their profile. In the pop-up window that appears to edit that basic informations, users will see a drop-down menu available to select their gender, and can select the appropriate option from there. Users can also set the privacy level who can see the users gender identity via a drop-down menu to the right of the gender listing.

Dollree Mapp, who challenged a police search of her home, leading to a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1961 that extended the exclusionary rule protecting citizens from illegal searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment, died Oct. 31 in Conyers, Ga. She was 91.
Her death, which was confirmed to news outlets by her family, was not widely reported until this week. The cause was not disclosed, but she had dementia for many years.
Tough and street savvy, Ms. Mapp spent much of her life on the margins of society and had trouble with the law on several occasions.
On May 23, 1957, plainclothes police officers who were looking for a suspect in a bombing knocked on her door in Cleveland. The explosion a few days earlier had been at the home of a Cleveland gambling figure, Don King, who later went to prison for manslaughter and still later became a well-known boxing promoter.
Ms. Mapp refused to let the officers enter her house without a search warrant.
They returned three hours later. She demanded to see the warrant and then grabbed the paper from an officers hand and stuffed it inside her dress.
In the ensuing struggle, an officer retrieved the paper while Ms. Mapp shouted, Take your hand out of my dress!
The police searched and ransacked Ms. Mapps house, finding what they believed to be gambling paraphernalia and pornography. Ms. Mapp insisted that drawings of nude women and books with such titles as Memoirs of a Hotel Man and Affairs of a Troubadour belonged to a previous tenant. Nonetheless, she was arrested and taken away in handcuffs.
She was acquitted of the gambling charges but, after only 20 minutes of deliberation, a jury found her guilty of possession of lewd and obscene materials. She was sentenced to one to seven years in prison. A man suspected in the bombing case was set free.
Ms. Mapp lost several appeals before her case, Mapp v. Ohio, was argued before the Supreme Court in March 1961. Much of the legal debate was over whether Ohios obscenity law violated the First Amendment.
