Prof. Nüsslein-Volhard, the federal government's queer commissioner, Sven Lehmann, claims: To believe that there are two genders is unscientific. There are many genders .
This is unscientific! Perhaps Herr Lehmann missed the basic course in biology.

Then let's catch up on this one.
Oh dear. All right, all mammals have two sexes, and man is a mammal. There's the one sex that produces the eggs, has two X chromosomes. That's called female. And there's the other one that makes the sperm, has an X and a Y chromosome. That's called male. And when an egg fuses with a sperm, a new being is born.
Examples from the animal world are always popular, intended to prove the existence of many genders. So what about snails, for example?
These are hermaphrodites. They have both: sperm and egg cells. So you can fertilize yourself. However, they usually mate with another snail. Because when mating with itself, the offspring are absolutely equal inheritance. However, if two different organisms mix their genome, there is a greater range of variation and the offspring are usually more viable. That is why this principle has prevailed in nature. The fact that there are hermaphrodites does not change the fact that there are two germ cells, eggs and sperm, and therefore two sexes.
In 2017, however, the Federal Constitutional Court decided that, in addition to "female" and "male", there should be the third gender entry "diverse" for intersex people.
Intersexuality is caused by very rare deviations, for example in the chromosome set. But intersex people also have the characteristics of both genders, they are not a third gender.
But there is a wide range within a biological sex.
Naturally. There are very "feminine" men and very "masculine" women, which not only has to do with cultural factors, but also with different hormone levels, among other things. There's a huge spectrum. That's the exciting part.
However, the current politically correct formulation is not that a biological man “feels like a woman” and that society and legislators should give him the opportunity to live in his desired gender. But: This person is not a man at all, but he is actually a woman.
That's nonsense! It's wishful thinking. There are people who want to change their gender, but they can't do it. You remain XY or XX. The bottom line is that whether or not you have a Y chromosome has an effect on the development of the embryo during pregnancy and of course also in the adolescent. Boys therefore have different sex characteristics than girls and this cannot be undone. People retain their gender for life. Of course, hormones can be used to make a girl who takes testosterone, for example, get a deep voice and grow a beard. But from this, the girl will not grow testicles and will not produce sperm. And biological males do not produce eggs, even with hormones, and cannot bear children. The problem with this arises when irreversible interventions occur. With the operations anyway. But the hormones also add something to the body that is not intended there. Hormones cause a great deal in the body – on a wide variety of levels, both physically and psychologically. I think it is extraordinarily daring to dose it properly and take it constantly. The body cannot handle it well in the long run. Every hormone you take has side effects. Taking hormones is inherently dangerous. The body cannot handle it well in the long run. Every hormone you take has side effects. Taking hormones is inherently dangerous.
