I've seen some strong and reasonable sounding arguments that there can be more than 2 gender roles in society, essentially there were certain kinds of men and women that were not treated like conventional men and women. I guess a terrible and offensive analogy in the US would be how women treat flamboyant gay men, they're not really viewed the same way as a random straight dude even though they are both male.

I think the genderfluid or nongender binary or whatever stuff is all largely special snowflake syndrome but I could see how a culture could develop more than 2 gender roles in a more natural and unforced manner, you could make the argument that we already have that in many cultures.

ironically they have it backwards. it is very possible to have no sex, or to not be completely one sex (like, say, someone born with partial reproductive organs of both sexes). but neurologically, each gender has a distinct architecture. when one of these people claiming to be "non-binary" or whatever poo poo they've personally come up with presents themselves for study and displays a neurological architecture distinct from either that is currently known to science then I'll accept the existence of people who are non-gendered but as far as anyone informed can tell right now that's bullshit.

there's sort of a failure of the english language, here. trans people are people who have the neurological architecture of one sex, but the genetic and physical architecture of the other. we don't know exactly why or how it happens, but the nature of it is something we basically understand. now traditionally, the word "gender" has meant what you're referring to: the relationship between your place in society and your sex. but, with the revelation that there's such a thing as neurological sex distinct from physical sex, and the lack of a term in common parlance to refer to this, "gender" has taken on this meaning as well, and it's in this sense of the word that I'm saying there are only two genders. socially, there can be numerous and varied gender roles, sure.

That seems like kind of an obnoxious distinction that revolves around ignoring you know what the other person meant in favor of trying to nitpick. If someone is saying they're not one of the binary genders they're saying they don't ascribe to the traditional gender roles associated in their culture/society for men/women and you'd have to be incredibly obtuse to not see that.

The way I see the vast majority of people use these words is:
Sex = biological
Gender = gender role

Ie you can be biologically male but ascribe to female gender roles, so you consider your gender female.

okay, so someone who is, in every facet of their biology, male, but "ascribe[s] to female gender roles"? I'm not sure why anyone would ever do that, unless you just mean something like a man staying at home to watch the kids while his partner works to support them, but I don't think most people really see that as a man deliberately adopting a female gender role, so much as they see it as the erosion of that as a gender role. or unless you're advocating that homosexuality be considered a gender? regardless, we're still talking about different things.

well this isn't my area of expertise so I can't give a full accounting of the details, but as a layperson, my understanding is that the phrase "neurological architecture" refers to the actual structure of brain tissues, of white and grey matter. I'm not sure if that answers your question, but for any more of an answer I'd have to refer you to an actual neuroscience, or at the very least material published by one. but this is so far outside anything I've ever formally studied that it should be taken as the ravings of a driveling buffoon.

Nah I mean even mtf are still biologically their original sex, they've just adopted a different gender role and by extension, gender.

e: for clarity this is a pretty layman interpretation of sex & gender but from what I've seen it's pretty much the most common.

in that case I humbly suggest that your understanding of the experts' understanding of GID might be outdated, per what I posted above. but again, I'm not a neuroscientist.
