There is also transgender but of course, that depends on what they want to be known as.

Transgender isn’t a gender mate

Transgender exists but it's not it's own gender, it's when you are part of one gender and see yourself as the other.

Sex is biological, gender is not. In fairness, gender’s pretty pointless anyway... everyone just dress how you want & shag whoever, problem solved.

Gender is decided by whether you are a boy or a girl. You could have a penis and identify as a boy or a girl, but you cant have a penis and identify as 'gender neutral'. Everyone is either a man or a women. Only two genders, no more.

Youre confusing sex with gender, gender is : "the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones)."

There are arguably only two sexes (although there are some cases of transexuality where an individual has both male and female reproductive organs). As for gender it is defined as how one perceives themselves. A person can be biologically male so their sex is a male but they can identify with whatever gender they wish.

Who cares? Why does it matter to you how somebody wants to be perceived? You identify how you want and let other people do what they want. personally, I'm a male but I couldn't care less what someone else wants to be. These things do not effect anyone but the person. Let people be...
Since when were there more?

I believe their are only two genders personally. I don't agree with gender neutrality or gender binary stuff. i also don't care about some modern definition of gender.

2 Sexes, 2 Genders. multiple mental illnesses where you don't identify as having any gender.

Sound. I respect your opinion as well, just don't agree with it.
Well if the OP of a thread on a student website says they don't believe in it, it must be rubbish. Thanks for clearing that up. :rolleyes:

Precisely, someone is beginning to see sense. I respect that

It concerns you enough to make a thread on the topic so clearly it does ;-)
