I've been preparing this response since you asked six years ago; I don't fucking care.

@HoraceGreenley 2+2 will never equal 5, my friend.

@Graylight what?
Two sexes. many genders. The sex you were born has to do with the reproductive system you have. Gender has nothing to do with reproduction. Sex is below the waist, gender above. The mistake many make is that gender and sex mean the same. They do not.
From wiki
Gender is the range of characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, these characteristics may include biological sex (i.e. the state of being male, female or an intersex variation which may complicate sex assignment), sex-based social structures (including gender roles and other social roles), or gender identity.[1][2][3] Some cultures have specific gender roles that can be considered distinct from male and female, such as the hijra (chhaka) of India and Pakistan.
Sexologist John Money introduced the terminological distinction between biological sex and gender as a role in 1955. Before his work, it was uncommon to use the word gender to refer to anything but grammatical categories.[1][2] However, Money's meaning of the word did not become widespread until the 1970s, when feminist theory embraced the concept of a distinction between biological sex and the social construct of gender. Today the distinction is strictly followed in some contexts, especially the social sciences[4][5] and documents written by the World Health Organization (WHO).[3]

wheres what? there is only male and female.. look at nature.. there all that it is.. hermphodites have both genetics of a male and genetics of a female because of mutations. its not a gender.

@BizSuitStacy there is only two, xxy is a mutation. a genetic outlier from the normal xx xy genetic code.
BizSuitStacy · M
@SW-User all you are saying is that an XXY falls outside the normal spectrum...to which I've said, I agree it falls outside the normal spectrum. But, just because it's unusual, doesn't mean it gets excluded from the "how many genders" discussion.

@BizSuitStacy its not a real gender. its a mutation.

clearly i do.. you need a refresher coarse since you took it so long ago.
BizSuitStacy · M
@SW-User maybe you should go back to counting your pills...just remember not to include the mutants
SW-User
you cant count mutations as a gender.. i think maybe you flunked basic biology.

Although a person's sex as male or female stands as a biological fact that is identical in any culture, what that specific sex means in reference to a person's gender role as a woman or a man in society varies cross culturally according to what things are considered to be masculine or feminine.

people be surprised how many natural genders are out there in all the animal kingdoms incl. human.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@sighmeupforthat Excuse me? Dude, I have a degree in Biology. In higher animals there are two sexes.
SW-User
@sighmeupforthat i also have a degree in biological sciences and agree with horace there is only 2

5 so far.. though hermaphrodites or.. wtf is it now intersexed are considered mutants and not a gender?
WTF is up with that bullshit?

@sighmeupforthat Even a chromosomal mutation creates another gender; the two aren't exclusive. A vegetable can be the result of mutagenesis, but it's still a vegetable.

Five, including Richard Simmons.

2 or 3, if you'd include both genitals as one gender.

Natural or modified?
