okay guys, lets get serious, how many genders are there really?

@BizSuitStacy That's easy, a genetic abnormality of the two genders. Extreme examples and exceptions do not define the norm.

@Sicarium agreed, it's not the norm. But the question is "how many," not "what is normal."

@BizSuitStacy Neither is the question. First you establish if there is a baseline, a norm. Which there is, XX and YY. That's the evolutionary answer to procreation. Now you can document exceptions or extreme examples. But it's not a matter of how many there are. It's a matter of if that fits the baseline or not.

@Sicarium that's a definition of the normal boundaries. We both agree, XXY falls outside the normal range. But what gender is assigned to an XXY? I wasn't able to answer that question 30+ years ago when I took genetics. Typically, an XXY ends up choosing. So maybe the answer really is just 2.

@BizSuitStacy there is only two, xxy is a mutation. a genetic outlier from the normal xx xy genetic code.

@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.
