How many genders are there?

It gets really confusing trying not to misgender someone.. i respect everyone and what they would like to be called, but every time i ask someone how many genders there are, they claim there are more than 60, but when i ask them to try to name some, they cant.. how can we avoid misgendering someone when not everyone knows what all these genders are? How many genders do you all think there are.. and if you say there's so many, please name them because i, myself would like to know too.. /:

two: male & female 55
three: Male, female, and nonbinary 6
There's a limit, but its more than three 2
Gender is fluid, no limit 10
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    Guys and Dolls. Dames and Fellas. Ladies and Gentlemen. Pimps and Hoes. Gangstas and Bitches. Dudes and Chicks.

    And then a tiny minority of people who are born with rare conditions. But I don't think that requires an extra label, it's a just an anomaly and they will live as one of the two genders.

        Generally I'll use men and women, or ladies and gentlemen. The exception being when I meet someone who starts spouting retarded nonsense about me using improper pronouns and asking me to use stupid made up words. Then I will use gangstas and bitches in an attempt to be as offensive as possible, under the guise of me being street and happenin. I'm down with the kids like that, you know?

    Ugh. There are two genders. If you wanna dress or act in a way that's nonconforming, go ahead. No need to invent a new "gender" in order to do so. You do you.

    Are you asking how many genders there are or how many sexes?

    As far as biological sex, there are normally two. Male and female. A very few are intersexed though.

    The whole "gender" thing though, man or woman or whatever - THAT part is an act. If not, then how come kids have to learn to act like a man or act like a woman.

    Or here is a good one - if a male is not "acting" like a man, he gets to hear "You are not a real man because..."
    Of course females also hear about how they are not acting like a "real" woman...

    Pop quiz - If a male fathers a child but does not stick around nor pay for the child, does he still get to be called a "man"? Why or why not?

    I myself an transgender. When I was living as a man years ago, people insisted I was not a "real" man. Of course now that I live as a woman, people who are not secure in their own genders insist I am still a "man".

    Transgenders live as the opposite sex though. As far as all these other "genders", who knows. A lot of them want their own gender label and not even the LGBT community is really sure what most of the "special" labels mean.
    It is like in middle school when everyone wanted a special label to be unique or fit in or whatever.

    Well you can say it’s a spectrum with male and female on the extreme ends, “androgynous” in the middle; that said all the area in between does not have its own name, just varying levels of masculine and feminine. I’m not gonna call people anything that’s not in a (real) dictionary

        I can't remember what they're called but mainly I was talking about made up pronouns like zhe, xe, whatever they are (yes that was actually a real thing..I think) basically look up genderqueer, genderfluid, etc.

    This subject is a trigger fest.

    I, personally, think there are only two genders, male and female. All the other genders just don't make sense to me.

    I'd like to point out that although I can't relate to them, transwomen and transmen are, at the least, making some sense. That's because they still stay in the male female boundaries.

    If you still wanna go through all the "genders", just google your question.

      I agree.

      A trans person is saying that they were born one gender but they want to be the opposite gender, not make up a new one, so it makes much more sense. It doesn't require anyone to rewrite the dictionary or make up new words.

    There are really two genders, but some people will find themselves uncomfortable being seen as either so I like to count nonbinary, but otherwise, I'll probably try to avoid anyone who tells me that there's more than two.

    This one
    That one
    Neither
    Both

    I think there are now over 2 dozen official terms for the varying gender identifiers. Personally, I would rather learn more about plant identification than gender identification, there is only so much room in my brain for data....but that's just me.
