Question

There are only 2 genders.

Answer 1

Can't be true or false. This appears to be a personal opinion. It is worth noting that gender can be defined as biological, social, or cultural. Biological sex is usually categorized as male or female. Whereas, gender is has a spectrum of identifications, such as nonbinary, genderqueer, agender, etc.

I am going to agree. Biologically speaking, there are respectfully different genders; reproductive organs and physical differences; some can be intersex. While looking into the claim, I came across the World Health Organization's explanation regarding gender as a construct: an idea rather to categorize two or more different ideologies; a theory in terms of definition. (https://www.who.int/health-topics/gender#tab=tab_1) This helped me agree with the claim, although there are different biological genders, people can identify as whatever they want to be—non-binary, a-gender, transgender and the list goes on. It shouldn't matter what other people think of what they choose to be because it's not their lives to be meddled with. Gender is a construct; people can choose which identity they want because they are people not nobody's. The WHO helps this claim in which provides more in depth explanation of what gender is.

i agree with you! I really like your source, Cleveland Clinic is a great source to use for many medical terms as it is a legit medical facility. I wish you could expand more on your response. Though you agree with the claim, explain more why you do besides what you said.

Yes while some people do agree that there are only two genders, what would've been a better response is more explanation about what you think. You should include at least one source that would back up your response. Why do you think some people believe in two genders? Why do people choose their genders?

I agree with your answer since gender is a spectrum, and a large number of people identify as genders other then female and male. On the other hand there are only 2 sexes since they are rooted in the binary classification between sperm and ova.

It is incorrect that there are only 2 sexes, as millions of people have been born with intersex conditions including differences in reproductive organs, hormones, and chromosomes. About 0.018% of the world's population has a chromosomal sex that differs from their phenotypical sex, which is over 100,000 people. While it is exceedingly rare, it does happen and people exist who are medically difficult to classify as either male or female.
