So you went from "everything is binary" (not quantum mechanics), to "OK, but human gender is!"? :3

im sorry but were you trying to tell me youve solved the problem of computability or that you just made gender more complicated?

"everything is and can be expressed in boolean logic" is not the same as there are only two of everything.

these words are typed up on a computer and represented in binary but there are more than two words, just like more than two genders

boolean numbers are infinite, just like there are infinite numbers in base 10, I'm sure you knew that though right?

now think about what that means... you can use boolean values to represent gender (sure why not?) but there are infinite numbers/values...

Replying to @o_guest @Vergey_NomLynx and
by your logic I think we could thus (rightly) infer there are infinite genders. This is fine and shouldn't upset you. The thing is there are

infinite genders but of course you don't need Boolean or any number theory to know that. So it's kind of beside the point. But since you

mentioned Boolean values... I thought it might be good to clarify that there are infinite binary numbers.

And when I say rightly infer I mean it's the right answer (∞ genders) but it really doesn't require invoking number theory to know it.
