BTW, "gender" is a characteristic of language, and IIRC, some have as

You're thinking of cases (e.g. nominative, predicative, possessive,
etc.).
Russian, Latin, and Polish have seven cases, German four, English
three.

No language I'm aware of has more than three genders: masculine,
feminine, and
neuter.

You haven't been studying U.S. bureaucratize.

We have (at least) male, female, gay, lesbian, and various incarnations of
"transgender."
