What does everyone in the modern world need to know?
Renowned psychologist Jordan B. Peterson's answer to this most difficult of questions uniquely combines the hard-won truths of ancient tradition with the stunning revelations of cutting-edge scientific research.
Humorous, surprising and informative, Dr. Peterson tells us why skateboarding boys and girls must be left alone, what terrible fate awaits those who criticize too easily, and why you should always pet a cat when you meet one on the street.
What does the nervous system of the lowly lobster have to tell us about standing up straight (with our shoulders back) and about success in life? Why did ancient Egyptians worship the capacity to pay careful attention as the highest of gods? What dreadful paths do people tread when they become resentful, arrogant and vengeful?
Dr. Peterson journeys broadly, discussing discipline, freedom, adventure and responsibility, distilling the world's wisdom into 12 practical and profound rules for life.
12 Rules for Life shatters the modern commonplaces of science, faith and human nature, while transforming and ennobling the mind and spirit of its readers.

'There are not just two genders'
'What makes you say that?'
'Evidence'
Some cultures thought there were more than two.'
This might help: when you have to be so vague as to cite the term 'evidence' and not any evidence, your argument is fallacious.
So the existence of third genders in several cultures is not proof that there are more than two genders? Gender is a social construct not a biological feature.

Where is your evidence that there are only two genders? Your culture where only two genders exist?

The article you linked to agrees with you, but that doesn't prove the case. You and the person I replied to are committing the same fallacy- you assert in some cases that popular opinion determines truth, but in other instances (like whether the earth is flat) assert that popular opinion doesn't determine truth. The author asserting that gender and sex are different things, rather than synonyms, does not mean that the assertion is true. Innumerable articles of opinion do not affect truth.
Edit- on rereading your challenge, I think I might be of further help. You're asserting that cultures are (at least in part) responsible for determining how many genders there are- yet you wouldn't say that fifty years ago in America there were only two genders, would you?

So where is your evidence to back up your claims that only two genders exist? Feelings? Emotions? Cultural biases?
Edit: got rid of noting that I didn't actually make a claim just to move things along.
