whats the third?
Transgender.
There are three-men, women, and transgender. Those other bullshit ones arent things.(like Androgynous)
Transgender isn't a gender, but a describing word used as the opposite to cisgender.
So since we're on this topic, I might as well explain in depth why I think both are stupid terms.
The two go hand in hand together, because if one is bad the other is bad. IDing as transgender means your gender identity does not match your assigned sex at birth. For this example, let's assume that I feel I'm not really female, but actually a male, speaking in terms of gender. I'd ID as transgender, an FtM. I come out as "trans" to people and get the word out, cool. People start referring to me as a boy and use the masucline pronouns and everyone is happy.
But here's the problem...I came out as
transgender. A female at birth, but actually a male. The term transgender binds you to your assigned sex. Instead of being known as male, I'm known as transgender...and isn't that something I don't want to happen? If I'm actually male, wouldn't I want to be known as a male? I mean, yeah, isn't that the point?
Really looking at it, the terms trans and cis are unnecessary. Using cis is extremely unnecessary, and trans comes up just behind it. It seems, to me, like a special snowflake term...okay, you're transgender, you're not super special, you're like the rest of us. Few hurdles? Sure. Unnecessary to tell me, just tell me your gender ID and if it isn't absolutely ridiculous (looking at you stargender & co.) then we should have no problems.
If this explanation doesn't make sense, sorry. Tl;dr Trans is unnecessary if you want to be known as your actual gender ID.
Regarding the "third" gender, there is agender, which I'm mixed on. Agender being neither male nor female.

You hateful bigoted hoennonormative degenerate. Go back to having no childhood.
My first game was LeafGreen so haaa.
I just don't like the Johto region for its awful Pokemon and too open region. The level jumps are very questionable and for a long portion you get no story at all.
