How many genders are there?
How many genders are there? You'd think that's a simple question, but if you look it up on Google, you'll find different answers: one source might say 70+, another might say 300+, and some even claim it's limitless. But is that true?
Before the mid-20th century, the concept of gender was primarily discussed in terms of grammar—masculine and feminine. However, as society evolved, definitions began to change. People started describing gender as something internal, distinct from biological sex, which is traditionally categorized as male and female.
But what does the Bible say? For many, this is the ultimate source. In the first chapter of Genesis (1:27), it is written that God created humans as male and female. Further, in Genesis chapters 4 and 5, Adam and Eve's children are referred to as sons and daughters. Jesus also reiterated this in Matthew 19:4, stating, "Have you not read that in the beginning He created them male and female?"
Throughout the scriptures, this binary understanding of gender as male and female is consistently taught as both a biological and Biblical fact. So why is there so much confusion today?
We encourage all to open their Bibles, be noble, and seek the Bible's truth (Acts 17:11).
