Seems to me the number of genders depends on the culture. If your culture says there are only two genders, then there are two, in that culture. If your culture says there are more than two, then there are more than two, in that culture.
anti-trans people will just say “our culture only has two” and that will be the end of their argument.
It’s just a statement of fact. Some cultures only identify two genders. If you live in such a culture, and you disagree with that aspect of the culture, you have a few choices: try to change that aspect of the culture through advocacy, try to force change somehow, like by using state authority, or leave and join another culture that more closely aligns with your beliefs. I would probably at least try advocacy at first, but it can be a challenge. Some cultures are very resistant to change, especially on matters such as gender.

The problem with this argument is that the anti-trans people will just say “our culture only has two” and that will be the end of their argument.

What? Are you implying gender is some sort of communal assemblage.
That it was constructed by society??
I dunno, sounds soulist
