@Azyezl, I don't agree with the fact that there are only two genders, maybe you think that because you don't know any transgenders personally in your life. Perhaps it has to do more with science, biology. and the etymology of the actual word being used.
The word "gender" in the context of human biology literally means the classification of sex (male or female). It always has. Society never agreed that "gender" means something completely different than what it has meant since it was first created. If you want to come up with a new word to reflect your ideology, that's fine. But please, don't go around trying to force your concept of the word on the rest of society, when the rest of the society already has defined the word specifically since the 1300's. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!

Chief, your very first sentence qualifies his entire post. There are only two genders, by your very own words. You're literally agreeing with him that there are only two genders, while at the same time saying he's incorrect about there only being two genders.

No. A very small minority of society (less than 1%) has decided to change the definition of the word "gender", without the consensus of the rest of society. This is a very recent move. The word has meant the exact same thing since the 1300's. In the 1970's, one specific professor decided they wanted to change the word, and no one really took notice. It wasn't until around 2010 that the small minority started trying to force that new definition on the rest of society, against the will of the will of the majority.
At this point, they realize that they can't convince the majorly of society to go along with their convoluted new definition of the the word gender, which is why they're now pushing it in primary schools, before children learn about actual science and biology.
There are only two genders. If you want to make up a new word to suit your ideologies, that's fine, but trying to change existing definition of a word to suit an agenda, isn't apt. And the way they're going about it isn't apt. Forcing the rest of society to conform to the demands of less than 1% of the population doesn't help those minorities, it simply creates animosity towards those individuals.
The fact that you can literally face jail time in certain places for saying "There are only two genders" is sheer insanity. I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great!
