Meanwhile on Quora, one user attempted to explain the dozens of gender identities: “The definition of gender was remade to not be equal to biological sex.

“Under this definition, everyone’s gender is as unique as their personal experience, but there are ways to broadly classify people based on their relationship with their biosex, and that is the origin of the gazillion of terms used to describe different genders.”
