unpopular opinion: there are only two genders
i mean, come on guys, you can want to fuck whatever you want to fuck, but just because you feel that way that doesn't mean you have anything besides xx or xy
triple x: female
klinefelter syndrome: male
XYY: male
XXXX: female
sure, there are indeed different combinations (you got me there oh boy) but these people still are either male or female. One of those.
so i looked up the official list of "genders" that exist and they all describe personality, not genetics, and therefore not gender. why can't people understand this?
but whatever, I don't mean to start an argument, it's just that i don't see how this can actually be a thing that's going on today.
sorry bye
Gender is literally a classification system created by humans to group people with sets of traits based on our choosing. Nature and science can create chromosome pairs with non traditionally matching genitals, there are people who fall outside of a binary gender system. Largely gender is irrelevant (such as in bathrooms where it is a plumbing issue and not an issue of identity.) however even in a world where XX can have "male" genitals and use a female restroom, an XY is seen as not belonging if they posses male genitals? Science may someday allow men to give birth, transitioning genders gets cheaper, more effective, and more accepted as time passes. We will eventually have to either expand our concept of gender or struggle to fit various mixes of "gender charictaristics" into a binary grouping they don't fit as best we can. As for confusing sexual identity, that assumes a "male" or "female" sexual identity exists. The "which of you two dudes is the girl?" Antiquated thinking.
you can be a dude that gives birth but you're still a dude.
you can be a dude that turns into a girl and now you're a girl, that's cool too.
you can be a girl that likes girls, you're a girl
a dude that likes dudes, bam! a dude.
male and female are honestly, biologically, scientifically and realistically the only sexual identities that DO exist.
and like i said, unpopular opinion but this shouldn't be argued on a post that's like 100% irrelevant to this topic
Quite literally by definition- Sex refers to biological criteria where as gender is a social construct referring to characteristics grouped together to form a gender group. Your biological sex is set (although science can change that to a degree and someday may be able to change it entirely) Gender, like marriage, race, or manners is a social construct defined as whatever a society wills it to be. Period. That which exists only as an idea can always be changed, just as many societies have different ideas of marriage and whom is allowed to marry who, and as we have seen those ideas can and do change over time. If there are only two genders it is because we decided as a society, if we decide there are 4,009 there will be 4,009.
Extremely well said @guest_ Your first comment really shows that you've thought about it and moved past some of those social understandings. Exactly, just because we name things into being doesn't mean that that's the only truth.
if gender is a social construct then it can be argues that there are only 2 genders, if enough of society believe that to be the case. So by overwhelming majority of social belief, there are only 2 genders.
Gender race and sexuality are not determined by genetics, for the kids in the back- again. @guest and all others arguing binary gender- You say there are two genders because people say there are two genders, people say there are two genders because someone told them there are two genders. It's circular. People said marriage was between a man and a woman, and yet here we are. Ideas change as soon as people stop clinging to tradition and make a change. What reason do you have to stand against progress? How does accepting non binary gender hurt you or effect your life? I identify as my traditional binary gender that "matches" my sex, having other genders doesn't change mine or who I am, but enough people have said it would help them that I'm willing to listen. It doesn't even take effort. It can be as simple as not shit posting about "2 genders" any time someone makes you question your fragile self identity. Change is scary, that's why science and logic exist, to dispel irrational fear.

Of course, some of these can have effects, but the phenotype can be normal enough to the point that those affected aren't usually aware.
klinefelter syndrome: male
XYY: male
XXXX: female
