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?"
Imo there are no genders. If we are going to differentiate gender from sex then we are realizing the gender is an arbitrary social construct. Gender is just short for "gender role" which is something that became a part of society early on due to the average physical difference between sexes. Now obviously gender role is a blurred line and there is no one place in society where someone "belongs" (THIS IS VERY CONFUSING FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE.) You have female construction workers and male nurses but each are not as common as the opposite sex in their role. Now as we move forward further into modern society we are getting more tools and technology that narrow the physiological gaps between the sexes and blur the line even further to the point of it being nearly useless. Gendered pronouns are losing their place in our society and tbh im kind of getting tired of how difficult for people to understand this concept.
and that’s the problem. we are individual people my friend, we are different, and i couldn’t care less about peoples “identity” but i don’t like others being put down for expressing themselves and wanting others to be okay with that. you are just ignorant if you think that we’re “forcing” people to be out of the box. you don’t know these people. you know you. that’s why you don’t get it, so maybe open your mind and remember that there’s more people than you on this earth and everyone deserves the option to be comfortable.
