Does anyone actually argue that there are more than two genders, or is it just a meme people try to use?
You have male and female. People who are a-gender just staight up don't have a gender, it's not a 3rd gender. Transgender means you changed genders, so it's still just 2.

Gender is a societal construct that is influenced by sex and also other environmental and genetic factors.
Western society traditionally uses two genders to cover these variations, but other societies have/do use more to cover them, an example would be the the societies where effeminate men are counted as a third gender or some of the American Indian tribes where there are 4 genders (including effeminate men and masculine women).

I don't necessarily argue there are tons of genders but I think to say there are people who are in-between is perfectly valid. I mean, I think most people who argue against there being more than 2 generally have a pretty simplistic way of viewing gender, gender is more than just biology and is pretty important to the way people interact with the world. When people say there are more than two they don't mean that there's something other than penises and vaginas, they mean that not everyone fits into one of two labels comfortably, there is always nuance. There's also people (like myself) who do have gender dysphoria but can't see themselves transitioning to the other side, I don't feel like a woman and I think it would more or less cause me the same amount of dysphoria but about different things.

That's about it, and even the third is in question depending on the person.
Anything else is just stupid as fuck

I really wish the marxists would stop teaching people this shit. It is pure identity politics and has no scientific basis.
This is how you end up with a 50% suicide rate. Believing in this shit doesn't make people happier. It only encourages body mutilation and eventual suicide.
My single greatest wish would be for Trump do deny any federal funding to any university that taught this shit - AND to deny federally backed student loans to students wanting to attend those universities. If you want to get brainwashed with marxist propaganda, you can do it at your own expense.

"I wish to not disclose" isn't a gender?

In time, but let's send a message first.
He can get the fed out of education entirely during his second term.

A message saying what, that state's rights are subject to political expedience? I bet that's exactly the kind of message you'd like him to send.

Male and female are sexes.
Define your genders, please. If there are but 2, it should be ridiculously simple.

I'd only argue there are more than 2 genders when certain societies are being discussed.
Eunuch used to be a legal gender across the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim world. Eunuchs had a very distinctive social role that was deemed untenable by males or females. Prime example being the Greek-born Janissaries, who were warrior Eunuchs entrusted to safeguard the Ottoman Empire, and step in as leaders and warriors when rebel upstarts attempted to seize power from the Sultan.
Eunuch was also an official gender of China. Eunuchs were the foundation of the Chinese nation state and ran pretty much the entire country. From its economy to its military, each and every man answered to a Eunuch and the Eunuchs answered only to the emperors.
Hijra is still a legally recognized gender in India an fulfills a specific religious role in Hinduism. They are regarded as neither male nor female, and their "sacrifice" is considered important to please certain deities.
So yes, in some places more than 2 genders existed. As for the modern western world, not so much.

The most I've seen acknowledged in a society is the Indonesian bugis who have 5 gender distinctions.
As a cis straight white male, I love Tomboyish girls. Don't you dare say they are a different gender, faggots.
