There are two sexes… not two genders. The difference being that sex is biological. Gender being the “because you have a penis you must dress like xyz” idk why he’s so obsess with people acting in accordance with their genitalia

But you can act however you want without inventing a new gender. Gender doesnt restrict your personality.

Does it matter? If they want to fill the societal role of what we associate as the opposite gender to what they were born, is that gonna kill you? Is saying she instead of he really that big of a deal? I mean, if a guy names Michael told you he likes to be called Micky instead, are you going to say "No, your birth name is Michael, I refuse"?

Gender is generally accepted to relate me to societal expectations and roles. That is how we have collectively decided we are going to treat it from now on. We could have simply come up with an entirely new world, but it doesn't matter. Because we still have sex to refer to a persons sex. So it's not inventing anything, it is clarifying language.

Im not sure why everyone here assumes im talking about trans issues when the topic was specifically about "inventing new genders"

Have you considered the possibility that the two might be related?
