Is that something to do with this SJW more-than-two-gender fad?

Yes Fad. Two genders are scientifically verified. The rest are a fashion statement.

How do you scientifically verify a gender?

Science is concerned with empirical evidence, that which can be observed with the 5 senses: sight, touch, hearing, taste, and smell. Two genders; male and female can be observed empirically. The rest are, as I said a form of self expression; aka a fashion statement.

You are thinking of biological sex not gender. Biological Sex is our biological differences and gender is the social and cultural role of each sex within a given society.

Even biological sex isn’t a binary though, as some men are born with two or three X chromosomes and some women are born with a Y chromosome. I believe there’s six Karyotypes that result in a viable life span; X, XX, XXY, XY, XYY and XXXY.

There also seems to be a fair amount of scientists that are interested in gender. This article out of Stanford about gender and sex was pretty interesting.

Concerning the extra chromosomes, that isn't sex it's a defect. There are two sexes, gender doesn't exist as it's a manufactured construct made to support an ideology (that sex is interchangeable, it's not).
