Questions about genders ... male/female

[Esquilax]

Thanks, Beccs! I call it atheistic, because God is taken out of the equation. But the question is ... why did we stop evolving after two genders? Why don't we have more now? Like 7 or 7,000 or something along those lines?

Something else that needs to be pointed out is that we didn't stop evolving at any point. In fact, we are in a continuous state of evolution, generation by generation, in small but significant ways. So when you ask why we stopped evolving genders after the second one, my answer would be... we haven't. Who knows what the future will bring? There's nothing specifically preventing another gender from emerging, although given our historical reactions to new things regarding sexuality one could argue that such a thing would be a detriment to survival. It could very well be that a newly emerged gender could be "fixed" to fit within the current paradigm with surgery or oppression or any number of cultural influences... if we recall how powerful the pressure was for gays to stay in the closet just a few decades ago, if there was a newly minted gender... how would you know?

Because just speaking in terms of probability, the chances of the first of that kind arising in a place that's progressive enough not to do anything about it is pretty slim, assuming this new gender is even recognized as a valid organic structure and not a deformity by a medical community trained to deal with a two gender binary. This rabbit hole goes deep.
