Two sexes but I think it's certainly possible to identity as genderless or bigender. I reckon there's two sexes and four genders. Sex refers to what chromosones you have, and gender refers to which sex you feel like you have. And it's possible to feel like you're male, female, both or neither.
Sure, people can think they don't feel like they're male, female both or neither... but I'm not sure what they are talking about and I don't think they know either.
Perhaps "genderfluid" can differ from "bigender" in the sense that a genderfluid person's identity flows between both sexes, being in the ballpark of both in feeling, but a bigender person has clear moments when they feel very male and clear moments where they feel very male... but I'd say they're both cases of a person who feels both male and female.
So ultimately I'd say there are two sexes and four gender identites. Or should we say 4.5 gender identies.
The idea of 17 or god knows how many identities... I feel like people are splitting hairs and mistaking subcategories for categories, but that's just the way I see it. Ultimately you either see yourself as male, female, neither or both whether sometimes or all the time.
But either you have male or female chromosones.
Now I say that, but like with the rest of evolution... there is no clear line. There is ultimately no clear line, in principle, to draw between a biological female and a biological male, as it's more compicated than "Do they have a penis or vagina?" I mean, there's even people born with both genitals. And there's people with brains that don't match their genitals, etc. Even when it comes to sex there's no clear line to draw in principle, but yes in practice it's at least usually rather clear. Gender idendity on the other hand is more fluid, but yes you tend to either feel XX XY both or neither sometimes never or always right?
Quote:Back to the point I think you were trying to make; Nah I feel you are being a bit closed minded and too quick to call transphobic and bigot. What if a heterosexual male honestly loses attraction once finding out that it is a born male that changed to female? Like not denial but honestly does not.
How is that possible? We're talking about someone you literally just saw display their naked personality and naked body to you, you developed a boner... found them to be the most attractive person you've ever seen and then you realized their chromosomes aren't what you thought they were and suddenly you're turned off? I'm sorry but such a thing is about as biologically possible as seeing a glass of water and feeling thirsty because you haven't drank in a day, and then suddenly discovering that glass is made from sand when you always thought it was made out of ice and suddenly you're not thirsty anymore, and you swear you don't have some bizarre phobia of sand. Sure you may THINK you're not thirsty anymore....
