There are as many genders as you can think of.

There are two sexes (M/F), but they exist on a continuum rather than a binary.

Also, why are we so obsessed with sex and gender? They want us to be distracted by this bullshit.

Wake up and realise the Class Consciousness!

except it's not even a continuum it's more like a fucking pick and mix bag

Exactly, for example just look at real cases of people born intersex and try and plot out which of them are 'more' or 'less' male. [Human] sex isn't binary and it isn't an orderable continuum. It's a complex result of reality and a simple binary model just isn't realistic.

I think sexual insecurity plays a role. The trans hate is repackaged homophobia. Gay panic used to be a legal defence for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_panic_defense

Gay panic is still a legal defence in many parts of the world
