- There are actually many other genders, assuming that you consider each chromosomal
- combination a different gender. Richard Kennaway lists them as follows:
-
- X0 (Turner's syndrome)
- X0/X
- X0/XXX
- XXX
- XXX/XX
- XXXX
- XXXXX
- XXY (Klinefelter's syndrome)
- XXXY (variant of Klinefelter's)
- XXXXY
- XXY/XX
- XXY/XY
- XXYY
- XYY
- and of course XX and XY. 00 -- no sex chromosomes at all -- has also
- been observed, but only as a component of a mosaic.

- Are hermaphrodites automatically bisexual?
