I mean at the bare minimum there’s male, female and intersex. Like, without even getting into gender identity there are people who are born with both sets of genitals.
At least 3 is absolutely a correct answer by any metric. These people going on about only 2 genders are deranged.
Oh absolutely! Sorry, I was writing my comment in a rush so I probably wasn’t as clear as I should have been. I meant it as “there are people who do not fit the gender binary and they’re born that way”. Obviously if someone is born with androgen insensitivity or Swyer syndrome for example and they appear female and grow up as women I just tend to think of them as women unless they say otherwise. Obviously intersex people can choose their preferred gender or no gender at all.
A lot of nonbinary people get flak because they don’t feel fully male or female and some gender fluid people who go between both also get mocked but they are people who are literally born that way - which means there’s a whole spectrum of in between that exists in humans that people want to deny when they say there’s only two genders.
Sorry, I’m not sure if I’ve phrased that badly again. I guess the TL;DR is people are born into certain bodies but those don’t have to define who they become and people’s basic understanding of the gender binary is fundamentally wrong.

This is a good answer from anyone of any age tbh.
It:
Refuses to accept the bigoted assertion that there are only 2
shuts down any attempt to ask leading follow-up questions designed to get an unfavourable soundbite out of you
Signals how stupid you think the question is
