In any case, she's a whacko, if I'm understanding her correctly?
No genders?
Canada tried this. perhaps you guys have seen the special about the Canadian boy who had a botched circimcision and they tried to turn him into a girl. It ended badly, very badly.
and I just learned on a recent update the guy has killed himself.
Conservatives have to believe in only two genders. It's their way of suppressing their secret homosexual feelings, or their worry that their women might discover that they're useless in bed (as if they didn't know already).
Any cretin knows that there is a distinction between sex and gender. The only dispute is how deep the differences go.

I pass for a socially liberal person in Sweden, and I'm one of the very few heterosexual men I know who'd joke about my own sexual orientation; I think I've got a decent claim to being neither a conservative nor a homophobe. Yet, I don't think there are more than two genders, nor can I imagine that turning gay would change that.
Edit: Furthermore, the only gay person with which I've discussed this issue with in any depth was pretty adamant (in a if-you-disagree-with-me-you're-with-the-fundies sort of way) that his gender was "masculine".
Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?
It's no good (from an evolutionary point of view) to have the physique of Tarzan if you have the sex drive of a philosopher. -- Michael Ruse

Was she also the feminazi who said all men are potential rapists?
I don't get why that's considered a feministic notion. I'm no feminist, and I basically subscribe to it. Conversely, no self-described feminist I know believes it (which makes sense, since they're wrong about everything else too ).

Because gender is a technical concept. There are two biological sexes, but gender has to do with the social component of sexual identity.
Why do women wear certain forms of clothing and men do not? Generally, not because of their biology, but because clothes have meaning, and part of the meaning they have is to disclose sexual identity.
Want a concrete example? If a man dresses down in baggy clothes he's just dressing casually.
If women dress down in baggy clothes and don't wear make-up to many people it's because they're frigid or they're lesbians. But if they dress attractively, they're trolling for compliments, teases or sluts.
In our society women's clothing has a much higher correlation with sexual signals than men's clothing. That's gender roles at work.
Again.. I do a survey in my classes every year. The women always own 3-4 times as many shoes as the men, and spend a vast amount more on personal grooming. Most of them say that if they don't people look at them funny.
That's gender at work.
Trying to deny it is trying to deny one of the most obvious features of our society.

This demonstrates the number of genders to be larger than two how?
Gender are social categories. My society only recognizes two. Be however freaky you like; we're gonna pidgeonhole you in one of them.

Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
