There are only two genders. Change my mind leftypol

Internet teenagers inventing a million genders is just people playing with identities, but it is symptomatic of the issue. Gender is a spectrum which means there can be infinite ways an individual can be related to sexed socioeconomic roles and express such a relationship. An example is the stereotype of rough proletarian women being neither fully male nor female ("trucker lesbians"). The issue is that capitalism simultaneously progressively obviates gender roles and will never take the final step and abolish gender roles altogether, because it profits from them existing.

But the more genders there are, the more it could profit. Think about how much shit they could sell for all kinds of genders. Instead of men's and women's shampoo you'd have xyt shampoos.

Good point. Capitalism at the end of the day is true winner and influencer behind these trends. You want to celebrate Pride? Sure. Buy my pride branded stuff. Buy my feminine scented shaving cream. You may feel empowered. I want your money

Precisely. That is why capitalism will never *abolish* gender and will just keep adjusting its ideology to maintain some sort of gender structure and hierarchy no matter how blurred it becomes. Most people today aren't 100% male or female gendered, they have wildly different roles, personalities and outlooks. The logical next step is to just admit it, shrug and look past gender roles. But capitalism uses the whole idpol rigmarole to preserve gender divisions so it can keep selling high heel shoes and manly bacon-scented beard oils. This leads to chaos and confusion as society goes on.
