There are only two genders...Male & Female... If you lack or have undeveloped sexual organs, or having had them removed, you are a Neuter.
Gender is a grammatical term.
In English, there are three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
However, sex is a biological term. In the species Homo Sapiens, there are only two sexes: male and female.
Everything else is the delusional behavior of those whose minds are not congruent with the biological realities with which they are confronted.

Will someone please, Please, PLEASE confirm how many genders, or is it how many sexs, there are ?
The natural (real) world is waiting.
It is not only a grammatical term. It came from the same Latin root as genius and means more properly a type/kind/category of something. The word "genius" still means categories sometimes, although these days it usually just means really really smart. In older traditional usage genius may still mean smart in ways that were novel and unique--thus the relation to category, and thus the relation to the Roman concept of "genius" which was kind of a spirit or life-force of an individual or kind of thing that drove it on.

In regard to some languages there are word types yes, they are sometimes divided into "masculine" and "feminine" and for some languages "neuter". But these are word types.

In regard to sex, the term "gender" applies to the type, and there are indeed two. When it applies to nouns there may be a different number of "genders" depending on the language.
In discussions about human sexuality, gender means the kinds of sexes, thus there are two genders in the scope of such discussions. All the rest is a lot of confusion about language created by people who claim to be academics and experts or what not, and who really ought to know better--but I suspect might even want to confuse the issue on purpose.
I get your point and agree; however, on the biological level to be accurate there are hermaphrodites but they are considered genetic anomalies.
X – Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turner’s )
XX – Most common form of female
XXY – Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)
XY – Most common form of male
XYY – Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people
XXXY – Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births
This excludes a few other oddities of nature.
Still that does seem like more than “two” I doubt that is what they were trying to make the person admit to, but technically “two” is not a correct answer.
