There are only two genders according to science. The male and the female gender. The neutral genders are presumably made up. We cannot argue the existence of the hermaphrodites. However, they are defined as a mix of male and female rather than a separate gender, on their own.

There has been much controversy about the allocation of genders to neutrals. some states and many online forums have changed their online gender selection to include the option ‘other’ to define neutrals. However, it is still a work in progress and is associated with the law regarding genders rather than the science behind them.
