While the traditional view holds that there are exactly two genders (male and female), there is gradually coming to be general recognition that gender is a multidimensional concept (e.g. physical form, personality aspects, sexual preference) in which there are two loci where most people's gender traits tend to cluster (i.e. "female" and "male") but that this is not true for everyone.

About

Gender is a similarity cluster or conceptual model used to simplify explanations of a number of biological phenomena. As these phenomena underlie a great deal of biology, gender and its confusing partial-synonym, "sex", are often taken as being themselves fundamental to how biology operates, but this view (known as gender essentialism) is mistaken.
