There are only 2 genders.

People do not have gender. "Gender" is made-up bullshit. People have a sex, and there are exactly two sexes.

The only actual meaning of "gender" is a technical term from linguistics (the study of languages), where languages can have no genders, two, three, or as many as twenty categories for nouns and verbs.

"Gender" is made-up bullshit

It's not, gender has meant the same thing as sex for almost as long as the word existed. There's been a push to redefine the term to legitimize gender identity. Push back against that, whenever someone says "ackshually gender and sex are different," tell them no, no they aren't. Or at least they didn't use to be until it was convienient for their ideology.

This is the best take.

Words exist because people give them meaning.

When I was a kid, literally everyone was using gender and sex synonymously.

And for me that will never change.
