It isn't biological sex. Even then there's animals which are hermaphroditic. I know you'd very much like it to be as black and white as possible, but I fear you misunderstand gender and sex and are conflating the two, perhaps on purpose even.
If you think any of this is actually new you should look at history. The whole non-binary/third gender/etc concept exists in many cultures and religions and dates back at least to ancient Egypt.
So does mental illness .............................which is what we are talking about
Sex is a continuum with most individuals at one of two extremes. Evolutionarily you may be surprised to learn that the Y-sex chromosome arose by deletion of several female-associated genes and regions. Meanwhile all sexes have at least one “active” X chromosome.
Gender is a social construct. So there are males, females, and those who prefer not to be categorized.
How many ever there needs to be to usher in a neo-Marxist Utopia.

However, this sex continuum isn’t like a rainbow, with bands of equal width. Rather, people’s sex is spread out according to what statisticians call a bimodal distribution—in other words, a double bell curve. Most men have average male body features, but a few extend out into the extreme manly range, while others have somewhat female characteristics. Likewise, most women have average female body features, with some extreme womanly types and others with somewhat manly characteristics.
We get the same double bell curve for gender. Most men and women are around the two midpoints, with a certain balance of masculine and feminine traits. Only a few are out on the extreme tails of the bimodal gender distribution.
For the vast majority of people, regardless of sexual orientation, psychological gender and biological sex more or less line up. But for some persons, there’s a mismatch between sex and gender, and they’ll express sentiments such as, “I feel like a man trapped in a woman’s body.”

It's as black and white as anything gets in nature.

Nope. You're categorized, whether you like it or not. And whether mentally ill people entertain it or not.

And there are also apparently those people who have "love" for horses as a core part of their orientation, identity and gender. There is even a documentary on one of them....

Zoo is a 2007 American documentary film based on the life and death of Kenneth Pinyan, an American man who died of peritonitis due to perforation of the colon after engaging in receptive anal sex with a horse.
I have read that Kenneth Pinyan also did not like to be categorized, but found his true sexual and gender identity after listening to angry left wing radio for a period of time. (Its all in the documentary on him). But I'm not judging, as he at least kept stable relationships.....

Sorry. But it's true.
Accept science and biology.
I accept two biological sexes - despite some obvious issues with some species that can switch. I asked you what gender is, because the two are not interchangeable.
Technically it is two but there are those very rare cases of people being born with both sex organs so I answered 3. But aside from those rare cases, it's 2.
