How many different gender classifications should there be?

Male - 49.x% of the population

Female - 49.x% of the population

Other - 0.x% of the population

2: Male, female.

Hate me if you want but everything involving hormone therapy/ surgery is just rape of the natural world.

Its an evolving paradigm. Due to genetic engineering breakthroughs youll be able to design the characteristics you want in a kid beforehand.

Yeah, this is true. Super liberal gay here. I support those who are transgender. I support those who were born intersex. I support those who are in that 'middle' gender area.

They also only constitute a tiny portion of the population.

And for those who argue it goes against the 'natural order'... what natural order? Humans aren't the only species who experience this.

There are people who don't fall naturally into male or female categories at birth. What about them?

They are the (rare) naturally-occurring "Other" that is an option after both "Male" and "Female" on surveys and polls. I'm well aware of that small percentage of people. They are the legitimate "Other".

Unfortunately there aren't clear dividing lines defining "Other." How ambiguous does genitalia have to be to be? The physiology of gender falls on a spectrum.

You morons need to learn the difference between sex (biological) and gender (social).

Any person is free to choose their own gender. And they can change their gender at any time. So the answer is infinite.

Wouldn't you say that there need to be at least as many gender classifications as sex classifications? Perhaps not. I suppose you could define something like XXXY as a sex classification, yet not expect anyone to identify with that as a gender. In any event, I stand by my argument that 2 sex categories is clearly too few.

Probably pretty accurate

What does it cost to recognize this 0.x%? Nothing. So why not recognize that this is something that actually happens?

Open Division

Testosterone challenged division.

Done

Don’t forget to add a new classification for androgynous distance runners with next to no body fat and twig appendages
