There’s actually 3 genders in German grammar.

For anyone wondering, it’s Er/Sie/Es (He/She/it)

OK I’m curious, mind giving me a quick explanation? There is a gender neutral for every word?

One issue here is that “Geschlechter” was translated as “genders” in the headline, while the word can also be translated as “sexes”, which does make a big difference. I’m not sure though what relevance the existence of two biological sexes has for those fans.

Unless you consider intersex the third sex.

The same relevance it has for everyone saying there are only two genders: It’s part of their culture war.

Where’s the issue? From the context it’s very clear they meant gender and not sex

Football has always had a political side. Those fans showed their political colors I guess

I have a lot of German friends, and it seems really regional but a lot of the country is extremely transphobic.

But even hardcore gender social constructivists don’t argue for more than 2 sexes? Or have I misread the literature?

There are quite a few people who argue for sex as a spectrum. Which doesn’t make biological sense and is neither helpful for intersex people nor for transgender people.

I don’t know what a “gender social constructivist” is, but I do know that from a medical standpoint there are more than two biological sexes.

The person you’re replying to is wrong, translating the word as gender makes the most sense here. That said, sex isn’t strictly binary ~1.5% of people are intersex, which means when they’re born, they don’t fit the typical definition of male or female.

There are definitely more than 2 sexes. There are XX, XY, XXY, and XYY.
