Why should sex be determined by gametes of all things, and not genes, hair color, shape of nose, height, blood type, etc? Isn't that an arbitrary categorization? And how can sex be binary when there is variation (intersex), and the sex organs of females exist in males and vice versa?

While our planet has created four sexes, and Nature can create an unlimited number of different sexes, humanity is known to only have two. Once someone with a new gender is formed and survives and reproduces, this will change.

To describe appearance and behavior, there are "masculinity" and "femininity". Words are just a collection of sounds, what matters is the thing they refer to. This kind of logic has caused the renaming of black Americans when their name had turned into a slur.

What are those four "sexes" and these "unlimited number of different sexes"? Male, female, and?

Why are GCs so freaking- You confuse the heck out of people. You say something, others say something else. Get your own beliefs right.

Male, female, asexual, both? Ok, Google says some gendered species can switch to asexual reproduction, so maybe there are five sexes.

unlimited number of different sexes

Complicated systems with picky parasites/symbionts.

Facultative asexual reproduction happens only in female individuals, and they are still female though. The offspring are all clones of their mothers.

I just wanted to save myself from pointless talks about regeneration from parts. Our planet has a lot of weird creatures, and the number of sexes depends on how we count them, but humans, right now, only have two, ok?

The offspring are all clones of their mothers.

Can't enter the same river twice, all cells are constantly mutating, you aren't the perfect clone of past you, the offsprings aren't the perfect clone of their mother. Unless their mother, somehow, has only one cell. And even then, this situation can't continue forever.
