Don't trans people agree that there are 2 genders? They transition from one gender to the other. That's why Buddhist counties like Thailand accept trans folks because in Buddhism it's believed to be a good thing to experience life as men and as a woman.
Not really. Gender is different from sex. When someone says there are only two genders what theyre usually talking about is male and female
gender identity is much more of a spectrum and more distant from sex. Someones sex could be biologically male, but that doesnt matter as much as their gender identity is, idk feminine looking non-binary. And that excludes all the weird shit biology also does like intersex people
lol

A very interesting article that challenges this position

No, and most experts don't either. Gender is a purely social construct and arbitrary many can exist
Yes and no. Some do, but many don't believe in the gender binary and see it as a spectrum of countless genders.
You might be thinking of sexes, but some don't even believe in 2 sexes. But that is mostly semantics, depends how you count any genetic disorder, intersex condition or mutation.
