    yeah, but the relative positions and relative lengths and relative widths and relative densities and relative conductivities of those neurons are real numbers

      Now we are getting into the quantum physics question of if the universe is discrete or continuous. Which seems to be unsolved.

      So I guess that’s my answer. If the universe is discrete then there are finite genders, and if it’s continuous then there could be infinite genders.

        I fucking love where this went, as I was thinking the exact same responses while reading this thread! Love it when a question about gender results in fundamental ideas surrounding mathematics and the nature of reality.

        so at the very least, the lower bound is the natural numbers, or a countably infinite number
