There Are Either 2 Genders or 1,577 Trillion

One of the major tenets of the liberal belief system is that gender is a social construct, which is a roundabout way of saying that science is not allowed into gender debate. If gender is merely a social construct, then society is free to make gender whatever it wants. A good Critical Theorist would not only want gender to be not just non-traditional, but something really ludicrous, for no other reason than to rub it into conservatives' noses.

Gender is no longer seen as an observed natural phenomenon, but as a shackles used to enslave people into an oppressive social order. Two genders was too limiting, so a third was created, and a fourth, and a fifth, and so on. We are currently at, apparently, 112 genders. (Read a few for some good entertainment.) Well if 111 genders wasn't enough, surely 112 is oppressively limiting as well, yes? For instance, maybe my gender is the morning mist that settles on wild mountain clover. (Not actually ridiculous if you read the genders already created.) Because each person is unique, and each person's sexuality is unique, there must be one gender per person. So not just 7.2 billion, one for each living human, but 108 billion, one for each human who has ever lived. Not only that, but we are told by Harvard that gender can change daily. So there must exist a gender for each human, for each day they ever lived. Average lifespan throughout history is about 40 years. That means there are approximately 1,577 trillion genders, and that number is growing by 7.2 billion per day. Or, perhaps, there are only two. It seems those are the only options. Two, or a number that approximates infinity.
