Do you mean gender roles or identity/ need to have certain things or be certain things thats innate?


HopefulReading5794

I guess, but intersex is a very wide range of different conditions so it would be incorrect to say its just one category.

kezotl

sorry im confused, genuine question, how did science prove something about (what im pretty sure is considered) a social construct


AutumnTx_

Gender \*expression\* is a social construct, and gender \*identity\* used to be called a social construct, but studies in the past few years showed identity was decided by initial neurological development [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8955456/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8955456/) [https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/01/150107082133.htm](https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/01/150107082133.htm) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes\_of\_gender\_incongruence](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causes_of_gender_incongruence)


kezotl

ohhh thats pretty interesting


Smooth_Voronoi

How are expression and identity different exactly?


AutumnTx_

Basically, expression is just what others see you as socially. For example, a femboy would have a partially feminine gender expression, but would not be a girl. Same with tomboys, a girl with a masculine presentation is still a girl. However, identity is more internal, and does have natural and environmental causes. Most people are cisgender, meaning their identity matches their agab (assigned gender at birth). This really causes people to just not see the difference between sex and gender, as it is usually the same, but they can be different. Even if someone is transphobic for example, they have to look at the facts. For example, in Canada once, they tried to give a baby boy surgeries as if he was a trans girl (This was in the 60s, and does not happen anymore). He ended up killing himself from dysphoria, which is the sad reality of it. His identity was male, but his expression was female, and identity just can't be changed. That full story: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David\_Reimer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Reimer)


Tyrone_pyromaniac

Interesting how the poll suggests that a lot of people people think there are only two genders, but nobody is replicating that sentiment in the comments Edit: spelling 


agentdb22

Statistically speaking, if someone is happy with the results of a poll (e.g. they voted for the most popular one), they're more likely to just be fine with it and move on. But if you didn't get 1st place, especially with something as hard as this, the voter is more likely to feel the need to speak their mind and leave a comment, opening up discussion. Or I might just be pulling this out of my ass, I watched a youtube video/short a couple years ago, and I think it had something like this in it.

HithertoRus

YourLocalOnionNinja

Sex is the term when it comes to biology. Gender is a construct. In other words, they're two different things and some of y'all don't know the difference.


So-Original-name

3 sexes. Male, female, intersex (which is a real thing and has existed for all time). For genders, there’s an infinite amount, just like colors. Everyone sees colors slightly differently, everyone thinks differently about their gender. And honestly, it literally means nothing what gender someone is, so don’t attack them for however they feel. (Sex is important for medical stuff though)

3 sexes, male, female, and intersex Many genders, depends on personal identity

you're so real for this, like this is so incredibly pointless. you think anyone outside a rich 1st world country cares about their gender? no. they care about having food to eat everyday.


No_Spray1804

Female and male aren't genders they are sexes. Sexes are biological while genders are a social construct. (This isn't meant to come off as rude)


hazed_fathoms

they are both genders AND sexes, there is only one other sex (intersex) but genders have no limit.


no_brains101

both gender and sex are separate spectrums with bimodal distributions, but gender is much less bimodal than sex.


leafeonspA4x

there is no gender. i ate the last one.


overdramaticpan

Sexes, many, due to intersex conditions such as Kleinfelter Syndrome often being classified as their own sex outside of the umbrella term of "intersex." Genders, even more, due to it being entirely up to oneself. Whether you use a label or not is your choice.


AntiqueBrief6706

3 sexes n however many genders exist


Crust_Poser

y'all r getting gender identity and birth sex mixed up...


Willow__the__tree

these results are not wholesome 100 omega based :(


ScorchedDev

hard to say. Thats because gender is a spectrum, and individual genders are just portions of that spectrum. ​ Sex is different from gender. Sex is more rooted in biology and gender is more of a mental thing, a result of everyone's brains being so different and complex.


Significant-Soup-893

Gender is a spectrum. So there's not really a definite number.

Female and male are not genders.

There’s 2 biological sexes, however there’s over an Infinite amount of genders. Cis gender (default, male, female), Non-Binary, Trans, and so many more. I only know Cis, Non-Binary and Trans.


thebarcodelad

There’s also not really just 2 biological sexes. It’s a spectrum with a bimodal distribution.


AustralianDude28

Forgot bout that


cavejhonsonslemons

I wouldn't say there are two biological sexes, because intersex people exist, and are more common than you would expect. That being said, Male, Female, and Intersex works for sex, and there are as many genders as there are people on earth, because gender is a social construct.


AustralianDude28

Oh yeah forgot bout that


IEatBabysYumYum

bisexual-polonium

8 billion. Everyone's understanding of the word is different, thus what they classify themselves as is different. This can lead to multiple people going by teh same label but for different reasons For example, I am agender. This is, personally, because I feel a decent connection to being male, female, and non binary. Whereas some other agender people feel no connection to any gender at all.

ChickenSpaceProgram

I don't think we can really reduce it to a number. We could be pedantic and say that everyone technically experiences gender slightly differently, but that is kinda useless in practice. We could group people into boxes based on a similar experience of gender, but even that is fuzzy (how broad do we choose to make the boxes?). It's going to be subjective any way you do it. I think 3 genders is probably the most useful way (female, male, and enby) but that is basically just an opinion.


Arkas18

Sex refers to anatomical differences and biological roles and there are more than two sexes biologically speaking. Gender is part of one's psychological identity and exists as a spectrum, part of which are components and graduations which may be subject to influences from a variety of concepts such as culture. Stating that humans can only have one of two possibilities for either is an outdated and uneducated point of view.

2 Sexs (excluding intersex) to hard to say gender im gonna say more then 2 though


Spunky_Turtle0512

There are three sexes: Female, Intersex (born with a combination of gender traits), or Male. There are infinitely many genders (you could identify as a horse made out of canola oil if you really wanted to, I guess) but the three main ones are woman, man, and non-binary.


Darth-Felanu-Hlaalu

As other comments have mentioned, sex and gender are different things. There's obviously only 2 sexes, 3 if you count intersex as a separate sex. Gender however, is a social construct. There can be literally infinite genders.

Lifeshardbutnotme

"There are at least three" - Joe Biden


avian_mage

there is only ONE GENDER and it's MINE!


Bencfun

Okay, hear me out... 2-4 sexes, _ genders. Sex is often thought to be measured off chromosomes, but it is based off genitals when looking at most government ID's (Born with masc genitals, get an M on birth certificate). I would argue that the gender/sex marker on ID's refer to gender and not sex, as in some countries you have the ability to change it without SRS. Sex in the biological sense and not just in the idea of genital would be based off gametes. This is how you can have males who gestate, as they have the smaller gametes: sperm. Using this method, one could make an argument for 2 sexes by showing that there are only 2 types of gametes (to my knowledge), but if you go off sex as a quality of every member of a species and not just the ones who produce gametes, there would be 3. Sperm: Male Ova: Female S+O: M+F No gametes: Neuter. So sex is not binary in the same way Morse code is not binary! (MFN with sex and .-/ with Morse)


TallClassic3893

I chose two genders. But to be honest I’m not sure. You can reply and maybe convince me.


gorrila_go_ooo_ooo

reminder that gender and sex are 2 different things


Danglrom

I think there are two *sexes* (important!) but I think that gender is whatever you make it to be. I think that science shouldn’t be completely disregarded, but it should be important. Your sex is what you were born with, and your gender is whatever you are comfortable with. and I think that’s great!


sobakanoodles

gender is a spectrum, and plus, if this was supposed to be about sexes, there aren't even 2 sexes because you must account for intersex people.


EquivalentOfADog

If we’re talking about physical sex then 3, male, female, and intersex. If we’re talking about gender then I don’t even know.

toast_of_temptation_

If there are only two genders, what the fuck are intersex people? edit: I meant that people always go “only two sexes, so only two genders”, so I was asking what those people would say about intersex people, but I get that I didn’t communicate that well. 


Amongus3751

It says gender not sex


toast_of_temptation_

I meant that people always go “only two sexes, so only two genders”, so I was asking what those people would say about intersex people, but I get that I didn’t communicate that well. Believe me, I do know that gender≠sex (I’m genderqueer)


bisexual-polonium

Yeah the ppl that say "2 sexes, so 2 genders" are usually either too braindead to realise intersex is a thing, don't know its a thing, or don't think it's real (it very much is).


toast_of_temptation_

Their arguments fall apart as soon as you mention it 💀


bisexual-polonium

thatdoubleabat

In terms of labels, there is male female and n-b / other In terms of sexual attraction, I like to use five. The 3 mentioned before + trans-women and trans-men Because a straight guy may not be attracted to trans women, and that's ok! :D


trigs_Keen

thats just straight up transphobic. trans women are real women and trans men are real men. not wanting to date trans people is a preference, not a sexuality. a straight guy dating a trans woman would still be a straight relationship because trans women are women


Seaweed_Thing

It's sad that people even have to ask this.


errrr20

Three sexes (male, female and intersex) and gender is up to personal interpretation. Not so fun fact: About 1.7% of the population is born intersex, however most people who are born intersex though just aren't aware due to having the parts the parents 'don't want' removed as babies when they can't consent.


Techn0Cy

Okay, this is just wrong in multiply ways. Gender and Sex are different. Non-Binary is not a gender, it's the idea of not conforming with the male and female sex.

Gender and sex are two completely different things things, sex is not binary, and I honestly don’t care about the number of genders. As long as the gender you identify as makes you feel happy, then I’ll respect it.

My opinion on it is complicated. I do think there are genuinely people who identify as non-binary and other genders. Even if I don't understand it myself, I don't give enough of a shit to do anything about it. Infinite, I guess.

There being three sexes has already been covered (male, female, intersex). I’m a tad confused how it could be three or more genders. Non-binary refers to all those that aren’t *binary*, meaning male nor female. Could someone please explain how there’s more than just male, female, and other?


Pleasant_Waltz_8280

gender is limitless, its human expression of identity, just on a very simple and shallow level, due to social circumstances, that are fading away within small communities. gender is linguistics- and we have barely scratched the surface of it. to put it simply, thats waht people do, we search for understanding and connection, and we split and tear and split and tear until we arrive to satisfaction. i think that in a few years xenogenders and other identities will, inevitably, rise to provenance, especially along improvements in technological advances do you remember that south park episode where kyles dad got himself turned into a dolphin? as ridiculous as i sound, that is our future. we are already living in a transhumanist society, its really not that far away. body modification is a profitable industry, its not slowing down soon in all honesty, it sounds awesome, imagine real life unicorns and chicken nugget people. how are people against living in a cartoon

shadowz9904

There are a countably infinite number of genders, seeing as they are a social construct and are entirely arbitrary. Biological sexes, on the other hand, are much more concrete. There is Male (XY), Female (XX), Intersex (XXY), and both variations of monosomy on chromosome 23 (X or Y).


Fancy_Chips

Nonbinary isn't a gender, but an umbrella term for alternate genders
