@JacksonNick-j6i There's a difference between gender and sex. There's quite a nice book by a Catholic priest and journalist,* called IIRC "The Year Of Three Popes" (the year of the sudden death of John Paul 1). He describes going into the working parts of the Vatican and being surprised that there are everywhere triple shithouses (not the word he uses, but it's nice to introduce a little coarseness into things). They are all iconically identified, and there's clearly a Man icon and a Woman icon, and a third icon representing a figure in a long coat-like garment. And then he realises it's a cassock, and the third loo is for priests. Three genders in the 1970s. BTW, mammals have two sexes (though not every individual is neatly sorted), but other species have more sexes. I know trans (etc.) activists can be tedious to old men like us, but that's an activist thing, not a trans thing.
*Hebblethwaite is, I believe, his name.
