There are only two types of gametes. Post reproductive age humans are not a different sex.

99.8% of humans are meet the standard chromosome and gonad/genital set up.

The intersex conditions are almost universally infertile... Meaning they are not a special new sex (as these would have some kind of reproductive role) they are developmental abnormalities. Same as having six fingers or a congenital heart defect.

It's also not a spectrum any more than the number of fingers humans have is. Only 1/5000 has any kind of physical deviation from the norm.
