Of course not. Even people who make this claim acknowledge, indirectly, that there's only two genders...have they managed to invent a gender beyond male and female? No lol. They have only come up with "nothing" or "both". Nothing isn't a gender, and both is just a combination of male and female. People who assign themselves a new gender can still only choose male or female and transition to either one of those genders, and those who fluctuate can only be male and female...there is no other gender. It's true that gender isn't exactly the same as sex, but it still comes from sex. If you only have two sexes, you will only have two genders...anything else is just inventing subcategories, and that falls short of actually creating a new and different gender, distinct from male and female.

Male, female, and intersex refer to biological sex, not gender.

@SW-User thos letter are about who has what kind of genes
the MAJORITY of hiumans are either5 XY or xx
xy makes you male,,, XX makes you female
but there are others,, with additional genes.. XXy xyy and others..

in humans, the presence of the Y chromosome is responsible for triggering male development;
in the absence of the Y chromosome, the fetus will undergo female development.
There are various exceptions, such as individuals with Klinefelter syndrome (who have XXY chromosomes), Swyer syndrome (women with XY chromosomes), and XX male syndrome (men with XX chromosomes), however [b]these exceptions are rare

i have never been "fooled" by a cross dresser or transsexual, but some of those i meet seem[i] very happy in their new role[/i].

[i]I identify and am seen as Black[/i].
but my Texas coast family is called creole
I am often mistaken for "mixed race" of one white and one black parent
I am not that
that is not so.. withe and blacks are both in y deeper ancestry, but in the old south "one drop of black blood" made you [b]legally [/b]black,
in my family,, we range from light skinned to dark.
[big][center]what am I[/center][/big]
so for now i am learning, and am not happy with labels anyway.

I am hetro, and have freinds of many kinds
but Names can be devastating.
so for now, I withhold judgement

details in private only
nice to see you again

@Dshhh people who have klinefelter syndrome are still considered male, in the same way that women who have an X chromosome missing are still considered female. These are the result of genetic abnormalities and not examples of new or different sexes or genders.

@Emosaur [quote]even that is only partly true as there are people with female parts[/quote]

How does this cause you to conclude "there is more than one gender"? There is only male, female, or a combination of both. That is partly why when people transition and have gender reassignment surgery, they can only reassign to uhh, yes, one other gender.

Male and female are sexes; masculine and feminine are genders.

@Sharon "masculine"

Defined as:

[i]considered to be characteristic of men[/i]

[i]of, relating to, or being a man or boy[/i]

"feminine"

Defined as:

[i]considered to be characteristic of women[/i]

[i]of, relating to, or being a woman or girl[/i]

Soo, we have only two genders. "Neuter" essentially means nothing or not identifying as either gender. That, as you should be able to work out, does not make it a separate or different gender.

@Emosaur that's great, I'm so glad to hear that your friends are choosing their gender identities from the two genders that we have. It's really revolutionary 🙄
