There's actually 3 genders in German grammar.

One issue here is that "Geschlechter" was translated as "genders" in the headline, while the word can also be translated as "sexes", which does make a big difference. I'm not sure though what relevance the existence of two biological sexes has for those fans.

Unless you consider intersex the third sex.

I'm not sure though what relevance the existence of two biological sexes has for those fans.

The same relevance it has for everyone saying there are only two genders: It's part of their culture war.
