I agree there are 2 sexes for humans. Worms have 1 sex. There are also gays, lesbians, bisexuals, asexuals, and other preferences and activities that don't change your sex. As for all these identities - they exist, even if only in the mind of the person who came up with it. IMO "gender" is a manufactured divisive distraction. It's quite simple really and I don't have much more on the matter.

Most people use sex and gender interchangeably. That's fair, that's the standard meaning, the other is academic. No movement ever got anywhere disappearing up its own arsehole trying to get everyone else to use their particular definitions and jargon.

Worms also have two sexes. It just so happens that an individual worm is both sexes at the same time. Worms are hermaphroditic; mammals are not. Evolution be that way.
