    In short, to create something between male and female? I believe scientifically, your gender is set in your DNA when you were born.

    Anyway...

    Gender has nothing to do with DNA.

    Male and female are indeed set in DNA, but they are sexes, not genders.

    Genders include masculine, feminine, neuter and a few others, the number
    of which is not determined by Facebook.
