No, gender is a spectrum and depends on how the individual sees them self

The definition of gender is "the state of being male or female"

Some definitions say that females produce larger germ cells and males smaller, but in some rare cases person doesn't produce germ cells at all.
Some definitions say males have chromosomes form of XY and females XX but not everyone has either of this type of chromosomes, as disjunctions happen from time to time during meiosis.
So before this issue is even relevant we'd need a relaible definition of gender that is based on biology.

Can we not just say you're a man or a woman and you can behave however you like? I don't understand why people want to name everything that is even slightly different to the norm

On light of biological discoveries that is very outdated definition thou. Intergender people very much exist, as well as transgender.
Some definitions say that females produce larger germ cells and males smaller, but in some rare cases person doesn't produce germ cells at all.
Some definitions say males have chromosomes form of XY and females XX but not everyone has either of this type of chromosomes, as disjunctions happen from time to time during meiosis.

Some animals have a different genetic sex-determining system, like a lot of birds use ZZ for males and ZW for females. In fact alligators and some other species have a non-genetic system, whereby temperature during development determines sex.
And to answer the question, although sex and gender are distinct, gender is based upon sex. Hence I would say there are only two genders, but you can have features of both in rare cases.

There are plenty of men and women out there whose gender matches their biological anatomy and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that but it doesn't have to be one or the other, let people be people

You're not understanding what I'm saying. For most of human history people have been men or women, why not say you are a woman or man but you don't have to fulfil any stereotypical gender role? What is the need to create new words?

Because being a woman or a man goes further than just gender stereotypes and throughout history there have been people who don't feel like conform to one gender or to a different gender entirely but haven't been able to voice their opinions
