Lacan argues that this perception, that there is an inexpressible, ineffable something which can't be captured by a limited conceptual system, is itself a product of that system. The male/female binary scheme produces the experience of being more than simply one or the other. From this perspective, the best way to support a diversity of self-definitions is by providing fewer options, not more. Facebook only lets you make one kind of connection to other people, the "Friend". As a result, two people being Facebook Friends has many different possible interpretations. No one believes it means you are friends.
