There really are only 2 genders. Anything more than that is mental illness.
The "classical elements" of air earth fire water are accurately described as the states of matter we know today: gas, solid, liquid, and plasma. So it's not wrong, it's just semantics.
Sexes. There are two sexes. Don't use their words. Gender didn't begin to be misappropriated by these types until the late 60's. Prior to that, the word was "sex" and it was used exclusively. Sex, Sex-role, Sex change, sexual dysmorphia etc. "Gender" was substituted in because it is a linguistic term that is really flexible (some languages have more than 10 genders to describe things like animacy, sapience, sex, utility etc) whereas "Sex" is trinary.
Sex and gender were interchangeable even in legal writing until modern gender theory started trying to fuck with stuff. They literally teach this gender bullshit to children as fact.
Male, Female and Neuter. Humans are a bimodal species, like all mammals, but there are other species which have functioning neuters and mammals can be made to be neuter. So it's worth listing the third option.
Yes I know. Like I said, they can be made neuter, but the species is bimodal with the defectives populating the spaces between the modes. And sex refers to more than just us, which is why not mixing the term with the wishy-washiness of "Gender" matters.
gender = sex. There is no distinction. They are synonyms. Gender is not "their word".

No, what happened was pedo libtard John Money began to argue that sex and gender were different concepts in 1955, and some feminists had made that argument earlier.
Sex was the more common word, but it was not exclusive. Gender was basically indistinguishable, but used more in grammar.
"Gender" was substituted in because it is a linguistic term that is really flexible (some languages have more than 10 genders to describe things like animacy, sapience, sex, utility etc)
I don't really think so, but it doesn't matter.
The left wing position is to claim biological sex and gender are totally different and have nothing to do with each other, with gender being a "social construct", and their goal in doing this is to destroy traditional gender roles to undermine society.
The right wing position is sex = gender. Simple as.
I’d love to ask this person who posted that what their basis for the endless genders are. Just seems like a kid playing pretend. And exactly how is that progress?
"Progress" or "Progression" is just another way of saying "Slippery Slope".
Transgenderism is just a sign of a society progressing deeper in postmodernism. This was all very predictable, considering that Ayn Rand thoroughly dismantled that philosophy back in 1967 with her book "An Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology".
The closest thing to evidence I've seen them present was some "study" where they did a bunch of brain scans and determined that trannies have brains that are "more reminiscent of" the gender they transitioned to. It's obvious p-hacking pseudoscience, but it's basically a holy text of the cult of transgender.
The funny thing is, if taken as truth, it's also proof that men and women do in fact have different brains and thus different mental faculties. So either the study is bunk and trannies are mentally ill, or the study is legitimate and men and women aren't equal. Making them pick one is always loads of fun.
The second one is a fact the first one is a confusing unscientific mess. You can explain why the periodic table was created and what it means that an element occupies a certain position on that table but they can't explain what a man or a woman is.
... but there's hard determinate science backing up the periodic table. I can predict what two chemicals are going to do when I throw them in a vial and go check it.
Modern gender religion ... the entire point of it is to debase the scientific method - see "There's no such thing as biological sex" - the only principle it seeks to uphold is that it's adherents are special and should not be beholden to the law.
This is ironically an extremely low IQ meme, because it conflates classical elements with scientific elements. They have the same name, but they're not the same thing. Scientific elements are just permutations of subatomic particles. They aren't theorized to be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They were, ages ago, but in yet another ironic twist, it turns out there are far fewer building blocks than was previously thought.
The closest thing to a classical element would be an elementary particle, at least according to current science. But then this bad comparison wouldn't have wordplay, which is the only thing going for it.
Ancient Greek has to time-travel to the late 19th century to be proven wrong.
Blue-haired liberals can be proven wrong right here and now.

wut?

In ways other than castration or hysterectomy? Neuter humans are defective.

There are still 4 'elements'.
Earth, air, water and fire are now solids, gas, liquid and plasma. They are comparable.
The Ancient Greeks did not have sunglasses.
Not sure why but I never made the connection between the four elements and the phases of matter. That's beautiful.

Exactly. Forgive me if I’m skeptical of any study that “proves” the popular narrative pushed by all the wrong ppl

What is CIS gender? Are sexualities now gendered?
"Cis"Gender should just be 'Normal'
Euthanize the troons, it's the only way forward.
And all 'gender therapists' out there creating more of them.
Periodic table: Works, has meaning, is agreed upon, serves a function
Genders: Meaningless, undefined, serves no purpose, communicates almost nothing, nobody agrees on any of it
If adding a gender required the same scientific vigour that adding an element to the periodic table does...there would only be two genders.
One is feelings with zero standards. One is facts that can be demostrated over and over using standards.
They also made the Greek guy look like an absolute Chad who would be saying the correct thing in any other meme or comic.
Why'd they draw them in the Stonetoss style?

What's hilarious is that the four elements made up the very essence of matter. It's more about neutrons and protons than copper and tin.
