    They don't. Gender is societal. SEXE is biological

    and why would people deny the right to exist to people with Swyer's, Turner's or Klinefelter's. They BIOLOGICALLY are not quite male or female

    There are actually three genders:

    1) Male

    2) Female

    3) Too hairy to know for sure

    "Why would anyone challenge basic biology by claiming more than two genders exist? ?"

    The term "gender " has been co-opted into the soft sciences and promoted under feminist and alt-left ideology.  True "hard" sciences do not go along with this nonsense.  The only way to move forward here is to abandon the term gender and just speak about sex instead.

    There are only two sexes as mapped out by our human chromosomes (either XX or XY).  A person is either of the female sex (XX) or the male sex (XY).  I couldn't care less what "gender" they claim to be.

    Gender simply means sexual identity as per feminists and the entire far left.  It is a -mental identification- as opposed to sex, which is a physical reality.  Under any other circumstances besides "gender", we know that a person has an identity issue that needs resolving through psychological help.  The idea that one needs to change their physical body to match their incorrect idea about their sex is insane.  Transgender means changing your gender, or mental construction of what sex you are.  Transsexual means changing your sex.  So the whole transgender argument is flawed to begin with.

    If you want to simplify it, fine w/ me. But, as we evolve as a species, the complexities continue to deepen. It's developing as an educated v uneducated issue. Many of us reject science when it interferes w/ our predisposition. That's pretty much the right wing conservative position that is reluctant to change in favor of tradition.

    The word gender doesn't mean what you think it means anymore, you are thinking of sex.
