this is the correct answer
@redsad Serious question: how many potential genders are there at the moment, and on what basis?

@franciswashere There's no objective answer. It's like asking how many colours there are. It depends who you ask, and what they consider to be discrete 'colours'. What we do know is this:

Gender is neurological. It is not bound to biological sex. Consequently, it is also not as simple or limited. A person might experience different gender identities over a lifetime, though statistically most will not. That might include GI other than what they assess as 'male' or 'female'.

@franciswashere Gender Identity.

I didn't like using the abbreviation, either, but in text-limited forums, sometimes one has to save space where they can.
