How many genders are there?

A simple question. What do you think?

 

Three.

Male, female, and those born with biological abnormalities.

 

Definition of gender

1. 1a : a subclass within a grammatical class (as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical formsb : membership of a word or a grammatical form in such a subclassc : an inflectional form (see inflection 3a) showing membership in such a subclass
   
   
2. 2a : sex the feminine genderb : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex
   
   Per the definitions, could be plenty.

Biological Gender (sex) includes physical attributes such as external genitalia, sex chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, and internal reproductive structures. At birth, it is used to assign sex, that is, to identify individuals as male or female. Gender on the other hand is far more complicated. It is the complex interrelationship between an individual’s sex (gender biology), one’s internal sense of self as male, female, both or neither (gender identity) as well as one’s outward presentations and behaviors (gender expression) related to that perception, including their gender role. Together, the intersection of these three dimensions produces one’s authentic sense of gender, both in how people experience their own gender as well as how others perceive it.

 

None, that is the flaw in the alphabet of genders position.

 

The number of possible genders is only limited by liberal imagination.

 

Male and Female are the two primary genders. There are some rare genetic variations, XXY, XYY and hermaphrodites.


Gender Identity is just political rubbish, and politics, not science if the driving force behind the studies that promote it.

 

Or the definition. Which I gave and linked in the thread. But it isn't only by the liberal imagination, it's by the definition.
Perhaps you don't know what definitions are?

 

Do you even know what science

How can it be political rubbish when you just pointed out there are more than 2 or even 3 possibilities? Do you even believe what you post?

What are xxy xyy or any other possible combinations if not science.
Also, why don't you actually read the definition of gender?

 

There are only two Male and Female, next!

 

As many as you need to feel all warm and fuzzy.

 

As many as people want. Freedom, right?

 

The Extraterrestrials have other genders. Male/Female is a human thing.

 

Of course, that is a lie. God doesn't like fabrications.

 

There are males, females, and people with mental illnesses.

 

I think there are three. Male, female, and confused. The last is an imaginary one, but those people do believe in their confusion.

 

Maybe you should look up the definition. Then you might not be confused.

 

One's gender is not determined by oneself. One's gender is not determined by one's genitalia. One's gender is determined by the presence, or the absence, of a Y-chromosome.

 

Two. With the occasional birth defect in each. That's the biology.

Just as we don't declare the subject creatures of the schizophrenic's head-life real and discrete entities, we ought not be factoring rare and unusual psychiatric disorders in to the equation. Those who regard alternative genders as legitimate, appear just as deranged as those who would declare the giant spiders real.

 

It all depends on what rights, or entitlements are being sought out it would seem today.

All of our "easy" questions, & the related answers, seem not so simple anymore.

Ah, Progress.

 

I posted the definition in post 3.
Nothing about any chromosome in the definition. Except maybe partly.

 

Nothing about schizophrenia in the definition.

 

They're still simple. They're only 'difficult' for those whose narcissism prevents them from accepting objective reality.

 

Not much in the world is simple.
Very very very little in this world is black and white. But a near infinite shades of gray between them.

 

There is no objective reality.
