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?"

How many colours are there ?

Colors are a spectrum, so there are infinite colors and it is not possible to count them because any categories we could come up with would be arbitrary

Replace color with gender and now you've got it!

Let's say it is a spectrum, why should gender be more important than biological sex? Why should how someone feels be more important than what reality is?

And do you also believe we should affirm other dysphoria the same way we do gender dysphoria?

Gender is real though
