(serious) How many genders do you think there is and why?

I think there are two genders, and I know some people have brought up intersex as another option to the 2 standard and here’s what I think: As a biologist I disagree, I think there are 2 physical sexes because everything on that link is related to having a Y chromosome or no y. Genes get mixed up all the time and you can have women who really are xxy or vice versa (like that track athlete who got her medals stripper) but to me that’s still two genders but some people get a mix, I don’t really think the mix is it’s own gender when you look at it from a scientific perspective, especially because these intersex people are typically infertile meaning like ecologically they can’t represent a subgroup because ecology is all about having kids and passing down your genes. This IS NOT TO SAY THAT WHATEVER OR WHOEVER YOU FEEL YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE!!! gender and identity are different things and whatever label or pronoun or any part of you you want to display to the world is okay. I mean this very wholesome and let everyone be whoever they want but to me I view the science as 2 genders.
