Are there more than two genders?

[Anonymous]

Please keep things respectful in the comments. I personally think there are only two genders and the rest are made up, and honestly kinda ridiculous, but I want to hear other peoples thoughts on this topic.

[sawno]

That one is very complex to answer.
There are 2 sexes periods, and there are two distinct gender roles.
Effectively that makes the genders limited to 2 if you are willing to identify them purely based on physical sex or the gender roles associated with them.

However while there are 2 gender roles the individual is free to pick traits from either one after all they are an individual and not some sort of group symbol.

So then we get into the mess of do we label every single one combination of these 2 roles or lack there off you can pick? Or do we just look at the physical traits of a person to call them male or female. If you do the first one you will arrive at the marxist style conclusion that there are countless gender roles as they fail to see people are individualistic and want to label every single one of them. Its not practical and its like structural planning of the genders but in that case you would conclude there are an infinite amount of them. If you base it on the physical aspect of it or the two gender roles in general then you would conclude there are only 2 and call people based on there perceived gender based on appearance and actions.

Personally i prefer and do the second, ill assume your gender based on the way you put yourself in the world and ill adopt the other gender if you request me to do so and can tolerate me making mistakes. I don't personally acknowledge the labels that stem from combinations that can be made from the two roles and see it as individualistic traits instead that do not define your gender but your personality as an individual.

So to answer the question in a summary :
- There are 2 sexes
- There are 2 distinct gender roles based on evolution and (optimal) behavior.
- There are countless combinations you can adopt from both roles.
- There are countless labels you can give to the mixture of adopted roles but these are not wildly accepted as genders outside of marxist style movements who wish to label personal traits as if its a gender.

You're right. There are and will only ever be two. Someone may feel they are the other sex because their looks and/or temperament aren't typical of their sex but that doesn't mean you can create a completely new gender or were "misplaced" at birth. Any attempts to change or convince ourselves different of our natural biology will only lead to suffering.

[Sucram]

There are more than two.
One in a million won't be born with XX or XY chromosome, but with X or XXY or a few others instead.

[Haaps]

@Sucram These are just rare genetic mutations, not really inherit to the standard human biological model.

[howlyz]

if it is only x chromosome it's a female if there is y present it is a male, there is no other combinations, you don't know what are you talking about

also that "one in a million" thing sounded like a joke actually

[Sucram]

@howlyz One in a million was just a figure of speech. Results other than just XX or XY happen way more often than that.
And there exist other forms than just male and female.

Aside from the very very rare instances of true hermaphroditism, I believe there are two genders: male and female. Your gender is determined by the sexual organ you are born with, your chromosomal structure and nothing else. Liking dresses doesn't make you a woman and just because you like masculine activities doesn't mean you're a male, you still have a vagina.

MHO!

[AmazyingOnlyMe]

No, boy and girl. Is the only genders
Now if you grow up and like other stuff and name yourself something else. Then you can change that. But then again that's only your opinion. In everyone eyes you still a girl

[ImagineSketchy]

Yes. There are however, only 2 sexes. Genders don't matter as much. The sex is biological and not something the individual believes of themself. Even if a person were to get a sex change, they would still be the sex they were born as, since they can't alter their bodies enough to become the opposite sex.

[rebelsunshine]

There are two sexes, male and female.

"Gender" is a term from linguistics that has been misappropriated by cultural Marxists whenever you hear it used to describe human social roles.

[WhoDatGuy]

No. Its funny how humans were fine for thousands of years but suddenly we need a lot of genders

[WeirdCinderella]

Well at the beginning of humanity, there was two genders. I still believe there are two real genders and others are I don't really know but it's not a real gender. I don't mind people having different gender than male/female though

[passinby]

Within the libtard imagination any weird sht exists that isn't real or even close to real.

[BirdFly]

There are only 2 genders. And there is also anormal situations that comes from born.

If you are talking about sexualities therr is only one and you can guess it. Others are just mental things. Fantasies or disorders.

[SamA_nold]

Only one sexuality... So everyone is bisexual then 😱

[Outofthegrey]

In make believe land there are as many genders as you want.

[howlyz]

MHO!

[Soteris]

Depends on how you define it. Biologically two genders makes no sense since there is quite a lot of variance not to mention how people can have fully developed breasts and body features with a penis and other mixes.

[Asker]

“Fully developed breast with a penis...”

If you don’t mind explaining, hows that possible?

[N192K001]

Hermaphrodites.

Their rare genes contain an uncommon mutation.

[Soteris]

@N192K001 ^This

[stf75013]

I just repeat a wise memes I saw on internet : there are only 2 genders (male and female) every other "gender" is a just a mental decease.

[EmmaMary]

No, it's still only two, and will remain so for ever and a day.

[Notabadguy]

maybe you are confusing gender with mental disorder?

[Anonymous]

Gender is not a biological term it’s a term that doesent really mean much so ya someone can call themselves whatever the fuck they want and that could be their gender, it makes them feel special to call themselves that, it sounds stupid but it doesent hurt anyone so why does it matter to so many people

[ATuairiscean]

Yes - I am all for whatever you want to be as long as you don't hurt yourself or others

[Anonymous]

There's two genders, and a semi-linear spectrum in between them.

[AmeerX]

That is a nice way to put it

[TadCurious]

In the real world there are only 2 genders. But for those living in Neverland all bets are off.

[jessture]

There are more chromosome combinations than just XX or XY. They are rare but they do exist

[worldscolide]

There are 2 genders and a whole myriad of mental disorders between them

[howlyz]

MHO!

[worldscolide]

@howlyz Thanks sir

[PrettyRegular]

Two genders. My and @mezzymezzmez's genders are only genders.

[mezzymezzmez]

lolz yea i guess

[N192K001]

Yes, there are 3: male, female, and rare hermaphroditic (just a variation of the 3).
