There are 6 genders, Your can be up, down, strange, charmed, a top or a bottom.
Though if you're really anti-establishment you can also be the exact opposite to any of those.

I'm not a bottom. I'm an antitop.
Yeah! Fuck tops.
Or a higgs
Unfortunately not. LGBTQ stands for Leptons, Gauge Bosons, Transgender, and Quarks. Sorry higgs.

I don't think biology has much at all to say about gender though? Basic biology says there are two sexes, more advanced biology introduces chromosomal configurations other than XX and XY, and even more advanced biology considers a complex array of factors beyond chromosomes alone, but isn't gender a social construct? Sure, historically it's been correlated to biological sex, but it's not really addressed directly by biology.
well he is getting laughed at in the meme, because he can't differentiate sex and gender either

What results from a persons biology has people say a lot about gender, and that's where the social construct comes in, yeah.
You have the genotype, karyotype and phenotype, that may or may not be strictly related to each other depending on what happens during development in the womb.
And now I realize I've already started to go on a tangent that wouldn't even address your comment anymore, so I'll stop myself
But it's fascinating. I'd love to get a karyogram done, to see if my chromosomes actually match what people would expect from the person I lived as up to this point.

Would you expect something non-standard, or rather - would you be disappointed if it were one way or the other?
I don't really expect anything, no.
Being a newly realized transwoman, it would be kinda fun to have XX chromosomes and show that to the Simple Biology™ crowd, not gonna lie.
But then again, science has already established that chromosomes don't have to mean what many people think they mean, so that wouldn't matter.
Though I'd also just like more karyograms to be done in general, to have a better understanding of how present certain karyotypes actually are
How about some advanced biology where you take into account each individuals hormone production levels, types of hormones produced, amount of receptors for each hormone and probably a bunch of other stuff that I don't know about.
The idea that you can cleanly separate parts of a whole is a useful lie. Gender is a separate part of a person, except for all the ways it's not. A person is a separate part of the world, except for how they're not.
We're all fundamental particles doing a bajillion things per second in an indescribably complex dance and we label a subset of the near-infinite patterns in this mess "gender".

The people who would deny genders would totally deny all the crazy extra dimensions.
Eh... nah. They wouldn't understand it, but Alex Jones and Joe Rogan talk about extra dimensions all the time, as well as people like the Happy Science Cult and space weirdos like Project Camelot. All while most of them have regressive sexual and gender opinions.
Why are you using that alphabet soup to do algebra? There are only 10 digits, it's basic math!!1!!
Somehow I don’t expect someone who touts “basic biology” to understand advanced physics.
Made a more inclusive version, for future reference
Thank you for not discriminating against us stupid motherfuckers.
As an ignorant motherfucker I don't like this edit.

According to supersymmetric gender theory, there are 10 genders. Other commonly studied theories include 11 or even 26 genders.
Advanced genders go hard
so true bestie
People that say that don't seem to knownthe difference between sex and gender. In humans there are only 2 sexes, male and female, but your gender isn't based on your sex... Afaik anyways could be that im wrong too
Edit: nvm there is also intersex so it's not 2 sexes. However sex still isnt the same as gender
that isn't so binary, intersex people exist, that's a whole rabbithole too.
Damn didn't think of that thanks for reminding me
I've been told I'm one-dimensional and that's just flat out wrong. I'm at least three dimensional.
When they say gender they mean sex.
They mean different things to you. They don't to them.
There, argument over.
And yet there are intersex people. It really isn't just a semantic argument.
Right: basic and fundamental don't mean "immutable." They mean "for children."
No, he does not.
