prepare to hear that “God designed two genders for different purposes”

He didn't make two genders. He made two sexes. "Gender" is a language construct, handy for the French and Latin languages. When used as a substitute sex in a human person, is either a jocularity or a blunder (Fowler, Modern English Language Usage)

Moreover German has three genders for nouns. Die, der and das.

When was the last time one of these "bright young things" ever as as a non-binary for the third gender. Or even better, third kind of genitalia. Even those nutty non-binary want some kind of binary part with which to "play."

I vote for either 1) a jocular blunder, or 2) a blundering jocularity.
