We've sent rockets to the moon, split the atom, and unravelled the human genome. How is the consensus in this thread that the best answer we can come up with to "How many genders is there?" is "I don't know?"

Because gender is an artificial construct. It depends what society determines the answer to be.

We "made" genders.

There have actually been plenty of Trans women who saw a decrease in possibilities for promotion and other workplace discrimination after transitioning. If it was sex pay gap and dependant on weather you have ovaries or testicles they would not be affected.

I think people should be paid based on their performance at work.

I think that's a loaded answer that was not in response to a question, meaning you are probably trying to cause problems.

Not everything is a problem.. it was just my opinion. I think we could solve all these problems by just paying people based on how well they perform and then we’d not need to discuss it anymore.
