There are 300 genders and only 2 kind of underwear. 😂

As far as white men mentality, and slavery, he was right

Here we go again. Simple fix, JUST WEAR A BADGE WITH THE NAME YOU WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED BY.

I've been mislabeled a woman as a straight man a few hundred times. Never once have I cried, bitched, or moaned about it - each time I laughed, sometimes not even bothering to correct them. People are a bunch of crybabies these days /sigh

We are born either man or woman not that hard

Dame as being black, how does it feel?

cnn denied science and biology again.

Terrible

Oh just give it a rest for 1 day

I remember when SNL had 'Pat' I remember when SNL was funny.

Awesome Christmas sorry cnn! How long before people figure out you’ve lost all legitimacy?

Well, if your workplace is CNN, it really doesn’t matter. It’s all fake 🤦🏽‍♂️

There’s only two so it’s pretty hard to get it wrong

I don’t try to call somebody a pronoun other than what they prefer..however..most of us simply don’t know what your preference is, or care..it is a huge part of your life but has no importance to me. Focus on your own acceptance of yourself and ignore or politely correct others

“Wrong” gender? I didn’t know that defining gender as a personal choice was settled science.

Will you stop with these stories jesus. It’s not a regular occurrences, probably one in a half a million. There are more pressing issues at hand

Slow news day?

Most people go to work to support their families. Who gives a $hit to this lunacy left thinking crap! Just STOP ❌. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I’m part of the gay community and I’m even sick of your using us to push an agenda CNN, stop already!

It’s probably your own fault if someone doesn’t know if you’re a man or a woman.

Tell me this... can I wear black face ... NO. So why can guys dress in women’s clothes... what the fuck is the difference. Cross dressers that do this degrade womens progress. EXPLAIN THIS!!!!

People with small minds get so uncomfortable with concepts they don’t understand. Some of these “there are two genders because god” comments are so stupid it makes me want to scream.

You're a man or a woman. Other than that you havea mental disorder.

Lol and you want to be taken serious CNN LOL

CNN always starting shit.

You can identify as anything. cnn has people that identify as unbiased journalists everyday and we know that’s bs

XX....female XY....male It's settled science.

WTF?

I work for the State and we only hire Male or Female..

How do you know what gender they are going to be that day?

Now THIS is news

Most work places offer mental health support. If this bothers you I suggest taking advantage of it.

Born with two nuts.. You are a male(man).... Born with 4 lips then you are a female (woman)

You mean, referred to as your proper gender, not your psychological disorder.

Wrong gender? A boy is a boy a girl a girl, hard to get that wrong in my opinion.

I feel like cnn is mocking people with Scoliosis. See purple shim in middle.

1 in a million people will experience this and even they know what they’re signing up for. If you’re a dude in a dress, prepare for some confused people.

Male and female he created them-

Oh? Your there to work not Bitch

2!!!!!

What a sick mind CNN and its people have.

It’s not difficult there are only 2 it’s 50/50 hahaha

How bad do you have to look for people to be unable to tell if you're a man or woman?! 😂 Biology dictates gender, not a confused opinion.

Fortunately at my work, we are all just numbers. shortlife

I identify as an Apache Helicopter... where is my damn parking space?

What ?....like male or female ?...there's only two ....

Sometimes people confuse a woman for a man and same the other way. But since there are only 2 genders, it is no big deal.

Why not just name everybody Pat, Dana, Morgan, Ali (Muslims won't be happy about that), Drew, Landry. Maybe we could use Wolfe, Jake, Jim, and everybody else at CNN who is for the garbaje.

XX or XY that’s it!

FYI to liberals, this is one reason why Trump was elected.

Its also diffucult to flip a coin correctly when FakeNews activist media try to convince you a coin had 29 sides.

how do these fools sort puppies🤔

There are ONLY to genders. XX or XY It's called science.

Hahaha there’s only 2 genders liberals are a funny kind of sad human

What do they call Moron ?

There are only 2 genders. The odds of that actually happening are extremely, extremely low unless you dress like you are going to a freak show.

With 100% accuracy, I can guess the gender of every single person I ever meet. It's actually quite simple😂👏

Gender never has, and never will be, a personal choice. And as a brilliant man once said, “Facts don’t care about your feelings”

I'm a man dressing as a woman trying to be a man....and I demand to be recognized as such😂🤣

Should we lift up skirts to see if there are a set of balls there before announcing our pronoun?

What the 'wrong' gender? There's male or female, no other😎😒

Ffs! Male or Female is simple enough. Any other gender is fictional

2 genders. Only 2. The mentally ill and Democrats believe there are more than 2.

There’s only two genders. It can’t be that hard to identify whether someone’s male or female.

There's only boy or girl so it's a 50/50 split

'I am a she.' 'But... You're a guy.' 'No, I am trans.' 'But you look like a guy.' '... But I'm a she.' 'Tell you what, you stop looking like a guy, and I'll use she. Until then, what's up bro?'

I think most people do have sympathy but they genuinely find it confusing. Perhaps they're making a mistake rather than deliberately being hurtful. I also suspect that rightly or wrongly, as an 'issue' this comes way down on their list of things to deal with.

This is just dumb.

'What it's like to be identified as the correct sex yet get offended for no reason'

😂😂😂. 2 genders. Man or woman 😘

It’s pretty easy to tell who’s male or female (the only 2 genders that exist) It’s most probably that the “affected” person “identifies” as “something else”. Entirely his/her fault.

XY = boy XX = girl You can be a boy and still like the color pink and play with dolls. No need to change your gender. You can be a girl and still like the color blue and play with trucks. No need to change your gender.

Stories like this is how the Left keeps twisting my arm to for Republican in 2020. GOP DNC

Biology labels us...

Nah you go to work and go home. That’s it. Our nation is being ran by a misinformed narcissist and now you want to push an unnecessary agenda by singling people out. Go get some Christmas cookies and chill.

🎄🌟🌟🌟 You are the stars that bring back the light of those silly stars that went out in the little dipper formation. You know what I mean *sucking my cheeks inwards*? I love you very much. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas Eve . 🌟🌟🌟🎄💖

Lol

Based on 7th grade biology this is pretty easy to figure out so I’m not sure how this could happen. If you have a penis you’re a male and if you don’t you’re a female.

When men are associated with blue and women likened to pink, the capabilities of both sexes becomes questionable not in terms of competence but biological differences - and this, must be dealt with via gender tailored education.

...nope. This isn’t a thing.

You see? This is why I get in trouble with people in Twitter, so don't push it please

Only straight way is the best wife husband's and children's we dont need your confusion world fake news

You've finally done it cnn

Only two genders. I thought liberals were all about science? Only 2 chromosomes, either x or y. Anything else is all in your head... as in a mental health issue.

Victims in search of an offense!

That would equate to placing an “X” or a “check” in the right box?

Only two options. Shouldn’t be that difficult.

Why do people need labels? It's not anyone else's fault but the person who changed their 'label' for others to get confused.

Idk...tell us how it feels to be the top fake and propaganda news of the year in the room CNN

Who labels gender at work after you’re hired?

Haha!!! 🤣....😳! Who cares! Get some damn work done! If anyone has an issue call HR & go back to work! Geez...

Fake news

Lmfaoo! No CNN isnt enemy of the people not at all. It's just enemy of western civilization.

Imagine you're a fake news outlet but deep down inside you feel like you're a serious news outlet and you're constantly being labeled for what you are. Is that mislabeling or not?

It never happens with me because I always self-identify as right. FunFact TuesdayThoughts

That your fault for living in that gender identity

🤠 I saw this cowboy hat in the city ;) and, one day at band camp, but it's still bandcamp guys (which includes the girls) 💋💋💋

Only 2 genders fake news

Seriously this is just going too far. Mislabeled at work. Your mental and biological confusion isn’t the worlds problem and given the extremely low rate of this phenomenon it is getting too much attention.

Live footage of somebody being misgendered in the workplace

This was not so confusing in the past. I missed those days.

That's not anyone's fault but the person that decided to change their gender, not society's if you change your gender you better be able to handle people getting confused

CNN starting shit again...

People around the world are fighting hunger, diseases, mass rapes and killings by Islamic terrorists, while some snowflakes are more worried about being labelled the 'wrong gender'

Next article should be “What it’s like to be triggered on the internet”.

Are they labeled with an ear or nose tag ?

Not that big of a deal.....

There's only two genders, cant be that hard. For people like who live in their own alternate realities it might be more difficult.

Normally, that shouldn't be a big deal. But social activism is exposing every nonsense

What’s it like calling an apple a banana at work?

Our economy is collapsing, war in everywhere, China and Russia are growing strong, and this country still insists on pandering to this mental illness gender BS.

What would it be like it people didn't need to be ‘labeled’ at all? This that not the goal?

Don’t start this CNN

LMAOOOOOOOOO y'all libs need to stop

🐂💩
