Gender is separate of sex and there are more than two genders

Hello and thanks for accepting this round. To start off, I define sex as: "Sex is a biological characteristic based on chromosomal factors and sex characteristics such as genitals" You can find this definition in my works cited at the bottom. The way most people define sex as you can find directly searching "Sex definition" Is somewhat correct in the sense that there are two main sexes (male and female) since the other sexes are mixtures of male and female, But defining sex as seen above is a much more accurate way to describe. The definition of gender: "Gender is a social construct and refers to how an individual navigates the world through identity (pronouns, Names, Etc. ), How we dress and our mannerisms (feminine, Masculine), And how we see ourselves. " Yes it's true that not all females or not all males act the same. But people truly do experience gender dysphoria, A medical condition, So actions and behaviors do play a role in gender. I say all this to set up the argument for why there are more than two genders. But first I will explain why sex and gender are separate. Experts have known for a while that anatomy does not determine gender. The useless notion of this being false was simply, Medically, Incorrect. Many people believe being transgender is something that is solely hormonal. This is not true. Many biological factors do actually play a role in being transgender, And being trans is something that can be detected at birth. Brain scans for people who claim to have gender dysphoria have been tested. An individual with gender dysphoria shows brain structure and neurological patterns similar to the gender/sex they claim to be. Sex may be determined by genitalia, But gender dysphoria is a medical condition that proves gender is separate and that many people don't identify with their sex. Moving on to there being more than two sexes/genders, I don't make these separate because it's well documented that there are far more than two sexes and though it may not have been shown to be true quite yet that people can biologically identify as someone that's not strictly male or female (if they were not born that way), That's besides the point. The point is that there's far more than two genders/sexes so far that is shown to be true to apply to cisgender people. "The idea of only two genders is a modern-day creation" I'm sure you know that 1. 7% of the world is born intersex. If you know this, Then this basically means there are many more sexes and genders. There are many other clear variations (XXX, XXY, XYY, XXYY) and slighter variations of the X and Y combinations are a little more common than most people know. I did define sex to include chromosomal factors which is the only fair and scientific way to define sex. Without a clear distinction between sex and gender, The validation of millions of transgender people will go unnoticed. Gender Dysphoria is no joke. So many people suffer from it. You can't change your mind but you can change your appearance. In conclusion, Scientists have known for DECADES that gender is separate from sex and also the chromosomal variations prove that there are more than two genders/sexes.
