2 genders the government says so

@MarineBob technically speaking it’s 2 sexes. Gender is assigned, a construct if you will. Both sexes can and do have ‘male’ and ‘female’ traits. We can identify and present as any gender, but we can’t change our biological sex our xx and xy, obviously:

@Egg01 If you want to split hairs gender and sex are two different things. Almost all people identify their gender by their sex at birth. If someone physically changes their sex they become a mutant because of this mutation. It doesn't change the fact that there are only two sexes, man and woman.

@Nitedoc I agree and know that you can’t change your biological sex, hence that’s why I said it. Gender reassignment surgery is not an attempt to change sex and I imagine that most people know that and most people will agree with us on biological sex. I appreciate that it seems that I’m splitting hairs but I just like accuracy, despite what most people say. I drive people nuts with it but there you go 😆
