Someone had to read it to you?

Oh yeah. THAT's why it's stupid. Not that it's a ridiculous hypothetical with absolutely no terms, and absolutely no relevance to anything.

This seems relevant.

But seriously, why would there ever be three genders? Requiring three different bodies to procreate would seriously handicap any species...

they'll be asexual, meaning, they can rreproduce by themselves by splitting in half hahaha.


my head can't fathom what a species that requires 3 different kinds of "sexes" to procreate can be like. probably because my brain was only designed to only understand two sexes to procreate in earth, that my brain can't even begin to contempalate this question :(.

the thing is, this type of gender would have what? YY chromosome?

but of course YY chromosome is impossible in human.

We already have a 3rd and 4th.

Transexuals: A person born with a penis but has much higher estrogen levels. Their feminine side usually comes about during puberty. Breasts, curvy hips, relatively high voice, no facial hair.

Hermaphrodites: Which dont reproduce very well.

That one movie with Billy Bob Thornton and Patricia Arquette covers this issue.

Do you even know what a transsexual is?

Oh, wait, that already exists. It's a bed. I guess the fourth gender would be a kitchen table, and the fifth the backset of a volkswagon

That's a very uncompfortable place ;)

If there were a third sex to worry about/obsess over/completely misunderstand, it would raise the woe and whining quotient here to almost unbearable levels.

Then why do humans have all those extra orifices, just waiting to be filled?
