Well, scientifically speaking, I would say there are three genders. Male, female, and asexual genders. As we know more complex life forms need two of the species to multiply. A "male" of the species that carries the sperm, and the "female" that receives and gestates the cells to form a descendant of both. This is done in more complex life forms due to the complex nature of the genetic make-up to prevent the passing on of damaged material. If an abnormality is passed, then natural selection will usual not allow the abnormality to pass its genes on through either abandonment of the descendant by the host parents or lack of breeding chances.
The Asexual creature either breeds through cel division, or contains both sexual organs or can change their sex to reproduce ( The marbled crab, and Whiptail lizard have been known to change sex if there are too many females to allow for reproduction)
Now these are very, VERY basic explanations, but we can take these and apply them to humans. Can we change sex naturally, and genetically without outside influence? No? Can we as a species fertilize our own eggs (again, without outside assistance) like the Komodo dragon? No? Then we must be from the former group where two of the species are needed (Male/Female) to reproduce. Anything else is a false construct of our own making.
