How many sexes are there?
The delusion that there are more than two genders does not harm anyone.
When blindingly obvious reality can be denied, and the denial made into law so that others are forced to deny reality as well, then rationality and basic science are under threat by a kind of religious fundamentalism. Yes, far leftist beliefs are religion, however well-intentioned their advocates may believe themselves to be.

It is the far right and Trump that denies rationality and science again and again. I cannot comprehend how you can be bothered by people who deny reality and basic science, but yet vote for and approve of Trump.

So, you support brainwashing?
WineHorror saysSo, you support brainwashing?
Not at all. That was my point. A LOT of people have been brainwashed by Breitbart and Trump and it is having very detrimental effects on our country.
You should be more honest. The brainwashing you support is saying telling people, especially young and impressionable people, there are more than 2 genders.
What gender is a banana slug?

A person is born male or female (and a infinitesimally tiny percentage of biological mutations, flukes like hermaphrodites ect.). What one does after that because of a defect or choice is a personal matter, but don't push make believe shit after the fact on the rest of humanity.
A WHOLE Lot of people have been brainwashed by CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, Mother Jones, Think Progress, Salon, Slate , WaPo, NYT, Huff Post, Hillary, Bernie, and it is having a VERY detrimental effect on our country.
Lol, good find. Yes, the B in LGBT is a tacit admission that there are exactly two genders: the one that creates eggs and gives birth and the one that creates sperm and impregnates the other.

If that's the case, get people to stop believing in god first. That clearly does more harm.

there are exactly two genders...by necessity their own parents are exactly two, one male and one female. As is the case for every single human being ever. And every mammal. And every bird. Etc.

Sorry if I misunderstood somehow.

I claim there are only two genders (barring the XXY folks and similar severe genetic malformations). I do not claim that any person does not exist, only that some people choose to mislabel their own gender and then demand that the rest of the world agree with their error or face legal penalties.
Josnuatrio - to which binary category do you assign the .001% born with BOTH a penis and a vagina?
Please explain how you could possibly misunderstand.

So, now, you're beginning to acknowledge exceptions, which you call "severe." You seem to underestimate the number of people who differ from your "theory" (some might say dogma), and to overestimate the severity of such departures. You're talking about ~1% of the population, i.e more than a million Americans, including some who have impressive achievements.
There are two genders, and then there are genetic mistakes, like people born deaf or with some inheritable genetic disease.
Don't pick on the handicapped, but don't design society around the idea that a fraction of people have no legs.
"We demand legless bathrooms in ALL facilities!" "We demand all countertops and tables in restuarants and hotels be at legless level!"

This. Pretty much everyone on here likely agrees that we should embrace and facilitate people that are different or disabled (as long as they are not hostile towards us). But we cannot give everybody on the other scale their own personally selected gender. Seems pretty obvious.

Are you one of those who agree? Should The State be involved?
I said every human, mammal, bird ever has exactly two parents. That remains true.
I'm not backpedalling in the least.
