Asking "how many" isn't asking "what". Gender is a societally constructed performance. The requirments of that performance are maleable and inconsistent across time and geography. There's not really a limit on how many their are or could be.

Sounds like you're just describing "personality" then. If you can't define what constitutes a gender, then there is no such thing as a gender and therefore no need to transition between them.
You've done a stellar job proving my original point. But yes, a genderless society would be a more just one. If your perceived gender didn't affect one's life outcomes there would be little reason to perform them.
What exactly does it mean to transition gender then, if there is no definition of what makes a gender?
