    Genders:

    There are male and female (sex and gender are 2 different things tho, so dont confuse them) and then there are nonbinary people, agender people, genderqueer people, genderfluid people, bigender people, etc.

    Sexualities:

    There are so many, i cant list them all. But the basic ones are:

    -Bisexual

    -Gay/homosexual

    -Pansexual

    -Heterosexual

    -Asexual

    Gender is a mass noun. There is gender and its diverse. There are no discrete "genders", so the answer is one or zero.

    'How many genders and sexualities are there and can you list and describe them. (Best answer 10 points)?'

    Gender is debatable and I don't have a formed or solid opinion on it, so:

    The primary sexualities are heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual and asexual. If non-binaries are a legitimate thing, however, the sexuality spectrum broadens to things like androsexual, gynesexual, polysexual, pansexual, etc.

    It's kinda stupid to try to list all the points on a spectrum.

    Genders: 3 - male, female, intersex (hermaphrodites)

    There's male (born with XY chromosomes; naturally has a penis and testicles), female (born with XX chromosomes; naturally has a vagina, ovaries and breasts) and hermaphrodites are born with abnormal chromosomes (e.g. XXY) with a mixture of characteristics from both genders (e.g. a vagina hole with small testicles, usually rendering them infertile).

    Sexualities: 8+ - Hetereosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual, Pansexual, Asexual, Pedophile, Zoophile, Necrophile, Other

    Heterosexuals desire sexual relations with the opposite sex, homosexuals desire the same sex and bisexuals desire both. Pansexuals experience attraction but it isn't defined by gender or identity. Asexuals don't experience sexual attraction to anything. Pedophiles experience attraction to children (they can also be hetero/homo/bi), zoophiles are attracted to animals and necrophiles desire sexual contact with corpses. There's then other rare unclassified orientations like attraction to cars (it really exists).

    People can thumb this down, but I'm a scientist and am impartial on the topic.
