    A Native American tradition found here in the Pacific Northwest (called Si Si Wiss) has eight genders I think, and apologies in advance if I get them wrong:

    Men who feel like Men
    Women who feel like Women
    Men who feel like Women
    Women who feel like Men
    Men who feel like Men who feel like Women
    Men who feel like Women who feel like Men
    Women who feel like Men who feel like Women
    Women who feel like Women who feel like Men

    And I don’t think any of these have anything to do with sexuality, which has another scheme. Interesting to see the breadth of viewpoints on the TG spectrum, or whatever it is.
