23k sexes that’s fascinating, so I looked it up:
They have two sex genes, named A and B, each of these have have an allele (alternate form) called alpha and beta. So combined there are 4 unique spots in the gene to look at.
A-alpha, A-beta, B-alpha, and B-beta.
Each of these can have variations, with A-beta having 32 and the rest 9.
32 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 23328 unique sexes
So describing your sex would look something like
A-alpha-1, A-beta-8, B-alpha-3, B-beta-5.

Then throw gender into the mix if they had such a concept. Essentially incalculable.
I was guessing it was “23k sexes found so far” but this makes sense.
If you could edit out my sex description from your comment, I’d really appreciate it, thanks.
Are you an aA-beta-8?

Stick it into a boolean
sex = true
Easy just have a drop-down menu for each value that can change 😎
