== Number of genders in the lead - missing ==

While I expect the exact number is a matter of dispute, it would be good to address this in the lead somehow. <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">]&#124;]</sub> 03:56, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

:It can't go in the lead unless it is already in the body and I'm not seeing it there. Also, it isn't even a meaningful thing to try to include because most conceptions of gender (other than those that insist on their being only two) do not see it as an enumerable set of discrete entities. If you ever see three people arguing about whether there are 2, 5 or 17 genders then you can safely ignore all of them as they are all making the same mistake. That said, I don't think that you ever will because I have never seen anybody seriously trying to count all the genders. (Although I have seen people doing that as a joke or as a way to be annoying.) The lead is currently doing a good job by saying "man, woman, or other gender identity". This correctly tells the reader that there are two extremely popular named gender identities, which they are presumably already familiar with, and also a range of others. I'm not seeing how we could improve on that. --] (]) 17:39, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
