Here's the mind-bending shit for yas. I'm not trans, I'm not NB, I'm just really extra and it's a great interest for me.
Gender is a fuck. In the US, and in most of the West, there are two genders. There's arguably now more genders, but the whole x number of genders thing is a reference to something a spunky trans YouTuber said that was taken as gospel by a bunch of bullying cunts.
I had a beautiful article that I now of course can't find where a biologist talked about sex-determining chromosomes and she described that we actually have as many sexes as we do people on earth, but that those sexes can be categorized MOSTLY into two buckets, but a spectrum is a better way to depict that too. In the West it's mostly been that gender and sex are largely aligned (but not entirely!) while elsewhere in the world it's been pretty different.
