That’s correct.

Ok. And there are examples written in English by native English speakers where they state German has three genders.
Unless it isn’t American.
Of course you ignore this.
English is a Germanic language so maybe you should. Just as you should consider Latin since many English words have Latin roots. And you call yourself a scientist. You can’t even comprehend how research works. Go Google etymology.
Etymology shows were the word developed through earlier languages and what it meant in those languages. It is not the English definition of the word in English.
My standard is always the English dictionary, and I lean strongly to the Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary.
We speak English in the United States. I can only speak for the meaning of words in the English dictionary.
Can you prove that from definitions written prior to 1950 concerning German genders?
Not that it matters. We speak English.
I don’t care if there are 100 genders, men who claim to be women do not belong in a womans prison (there has been a case of rape twice), in a high school ladies room (another case of two rapes), college womans locker room (exposing his junk to to his female team mates), there have been reports of men dressed like women following ladles in a public restroom
you all want keep burying your head in the sand until it happens to your mother, wife, sister or daughter…sick

That’s shifting the goalposts as my initial response on this matter was to point out that grammatically, there are more than two genders in many languages. I also pointed out that English has three gendered pronouns: he, she and it.
I can as I have a book written prior to WW2 for German speakers who are learning Italian. You can also Google grammar books and find this information online.
Promoting gender neutral facilities may be the solution to your innate fears.
I’ve seen images online of gender neutral bathrooms, not in real life.
And again, I referred to other languages initially so if you wanted to only talk about English, you should have just said nothing as I didn’t say English had three genders. Grammatically, English pretty much has none.
Interestingly, you mentioned how Latin has three genders yet you only, according to you, talk about English. It’s amazing how you agreed with me from the start and somehow managed to contradict yourself to disagree with me.
Who exactly are you talking to?
Whoever has their head buried in the sand and keeps making excuses for this BS
There are already public bathrooms that cater to male or female, its a single toilet with a sink, i have seen them and have used them…they are not labeled as gender specific
i have no innate fears
Gender neutral bathrooms with multiple stalls/urinals? That’s rightfully going to be a hard sell to parents who have teen or child daughters.
Then they will have the option to just not use it.
Men,Women, Gender Neutral
Boom! Now we have three kinds of bathrooms in one area.

The funny part is that those actually exist, maybe we need more of em.
As long as trans people have to use the gender neutral bathroom, I see no problem with it. Because if transwomen still use the women’s bathroom, it’s still going to lead to issues.
It’s weird that this is controversial to say now, but things like separate bathrooms were made to protect biological women from possible creepy/violent biological men. We are the danger here. A biological man in the same bathroom as a young girl, regardless of their gender expression, will innately bother the vast majority of people.

You know, if I was a father it’d bother me too. In fact, I’d start swinging. But yeah, the other genders should get their own bathroom.
My gym has a section for women only, your comment just reminded me of that.

When I mentioned Latin it was addressing the question of whether other languages had three genders. I did say three “genders.”
I told you I seek truth. What you didn’t consider was that I didn’t investigate the meaning of “neuter” until shortly after this moment. Once I saw the English meaning of “neuter” my integrity forced me to reconsider my understanding of the meaning of “neuter.”
Had I not looked up the English meaning of “neuter” we would have strongly agreed. You do know we have a little confrontational history, which drove some of my intensity. Maybe I got too far into the minutia, but I have a detail oriented mind (all mathematics thinking. I hate grey areas, though statistics has helped me accept the probability of uncertainty. I will say I struggled mightily learning quantum mechanics, a part of Atomic Physics course, in college. That is probably why I know so little about it today. I just memorized it all and didn’t learn any of it.)
This is about a close as I can get to an apology. But I do see how you got confused, since you were unaware that I found new information and I failed to inform you. So, sorry.
