So how many genders are there? The answer is simple, it's in all biology books. Any other answer is virtue signaling revisionism.

Why don't we use the definition based on genitals, that a doctor uses to pronounce you at birth, and not the ultra-rare genetic exceptions?
Intersex is not ultra rare. About 1.7% of people are born intersex and with intersex babies it is sometimes hard to tell what sex they are from the genitals.

Also you can have people who develop to look like completely normal adult females, but are actually biologically male.

It's complicated.
Not a biologist, but my understanding is that gender isn't that simple. As well as XX and XY, you also have XYY, XXY, XXX, intersex, hermaphroditism, chimeraism etc (the last 2 are very rare in humans).
