There are Zero Genders

How a Deviant Sexologist Warped God's Design

We live in a time of deep confusion about something as basic as human identity. You’ve probably noticed that the conversation surrounding gender has exploded, with society constantly redefining what it means to be male, female, or something in between. But the truth is far simpler than these convoluted debates suggest. In fact, the very idea that humans possess “genders” at all is a profound misunderstanding of who we are.

The Bible tells us that God created two sexes: male and female. The concept of gender, in the way it’s commonly used today, has no basis in Scripture or biology. In reality, applying the concept of “gender” to human beings is a category fallacy—a fundamental error in reasoning. Genders are for languages, not people.

Biblical Foundation for Two Sexes

Genesis 1:27 (ESV) makes God’s design clear: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” From the very beginning, the Bible shows that humans are created in two sexes—male and female. This isn’t an arbitrary distinction, nor is it one that we can redefine according to cultural whims. It’s a reflection of the divine order.

Throughout Scripture, there’s no mention of a third sex or a spectrum of genders. Instead, every reference to human beings is grounded in their biological sex—either male or female. God’s design is simple and purposeful, and it’s not up to us to alter it.

Understanding Category Fallacy

So, what exactly is a category fallacy? In logic, it occurs when you apply a concept to something that doesn’t belong in that category. For instance, if you asked, “What color is that sound?” you’d be committing a category fallacy. Sound doesn’t have color—it’s an entirely different category of experience.

In the same way, applying “gender” to humans is a category fallacy. Gender was originally a grammatical term used to classify nouns in various languages. For example, in French, the word “table” is feminine, while the word “book” is masculine. These categories help with grammar, but they have nothing to do with biology. Humans aren’t words that need grammatical classification. We’re male or female, period.

Societal Shift: From Sex to Gender

Over the past few decades, there’s been a deliberate and gradual shift from talking about biological sex to talking about gender. This transition has been pushed by various sociopolitical movements, and it has led to an incredible amount of confusion. Suddenly, gender has become a fluid concept—something that can change depending on how someone feels on a given day.

But this isn’t how God created us. When we lose sight of God’s design, we inevitably wander into confusion and error. The shift from biological sex to subjective gender has blurred the lines of truth and led to an identity crisis, especially among younger generations who are bombarded with messages that they can be whatever they want to be, even if it contradicts their biology.

Origins of Gender Language and Gender Theory

To fully understand where this confusion began, it’s essential to examine the origins of modern gender language and theory. The term "gender" was historically used exclusively in grammatical contexts. As we noted earlier, many languages categorize nouns as masculine, feminine, or neuter. This linguistic application of gender, found in languages like French and Spanish, had nothing to do with human identity until much later.

Dr. John Money

The shift began in the mid-20th century with the emergence of figures like Dr. John Money, a psychologist and sexologist,

who popularized the distinction between biological sex and gender as a separate concept. Dr. Money introduced the

idea that while people are biologically male or female, their gender identity—how they perceive themselves—could be independent of their biological sex. He argued that gender is a societal construct and that one’s identity could be shaped by

cultural influences and personal feelings.

This marked a radical departure from the traditional understanding of human identity. In the decades following, these ideas were picked up by feminist scholars and queer theorists who expanded the concept of gender to challenge established norms of male and female roles in society. They posited that gender was not just an identity tied to biology, but a flexible, fluid construct that could be shaped by each individual’s experiences and socialization.

What started as a theoretical discussion soon morphed into widespread acceptance, particularly in academic and political circles. Gender theory began influencing policy, healthcare, education, and eventually, everyday life. Concepts like “gender identity” and “gender expression” became mainstream, leading to the belief that gender could exist apart from the physical realities of being male or female.

However, this ideology is built on unstable foundations. The introduction of "gender" as something disconnected from biological sex is inherently flawed and unsupported by any biblical or natural basis. Instead, it reflects a human desire to redefine reality in opposition to God’s original design.

The Importance of Language: Gender Belongs to Nouns, Not People

If we trace the history of the word “gender,” we find that it originally applied to language. Many languages—including French, Spanish, and Latin—assign gender to their nouns. A chair might be feminine, while a table is masculine. This is simply a linguistic convention.

To apply the idea of gender to people is as nonsensical as asking a chair if it feels masculine or feminine. The concept of gender was never meant to describe people; it was meant to describe words. When we use language categories to define human identity, we’re distorting both language and reality.

Consequences of Confusion

This confusion between sex and gender has had real and serious consequences. In recent years, there has been an alarming rise in identity crises, particularly among younger generations. People are being told that their biological sex doesn’t matter, and that their “gender identity” is the only thing that counts. This has led to a surge in gender dysphoria, mental health struggles, and the push for policies that deny biological reality.

From a Christian perspective, this is deeply troubling. When we reject the truth of God’s design, we inevitably suffer the consequences. The Bible is clear: we are either male or female, and this is a core aspect of our identity as image-bearers of God.

Call to Reclaim Biblical Clarity

As Christians, we must reject the world’s shifting and confusing framework of gender and stand firm in the biblical truth of sex. God made us male and female, and that’s not something we can change, regardless of how we feel or what society says.

We need to reclaim the clarity of God’s Word and resist the pressure to conform to the culture’s redefinitions. This isn’t about being insensitive to those who are struggling with their identity. It’s about standing on the truth that sets people free. Our identity is found in Christ, and in His design, we are beautifully and purposefully made as either male or female.

Conclusion

The truth is there are zero genders. Trying to apply the concept of gender to human beings is a category fallacy—a misunderstanding of both language and biology. We are created in the image of God, male and female. Anything else is a distortion of that truth.

As Christians, we must hold fast to the biblical view of identity, rooted in God’s unchanging design, and offer a message of hope to a world in confusion. God’s truth is always better than the shifting sands of cultural trends, and it is this truth that brings real freedom.
