Should “gender identity” be added to anti-discrimination laws?
No, there are only two genders which are genetically not psychologically determined
An intersexual person is someone who is born with both male and female: chromosone patterns (could be XXY, XY, XX, or just X cells) or genitals. These people don’t typically fit as binary with male or female bodies. In the LGBTQIA+ community. The three sexes (male, female, and intersex) are all the genders you are geneticly born as. Gender however, is a social construct and it is different than sex, gender is the orientation or identity that someone psychologically feels because of society’s terms and definition of "masculine" and "feminine". Lets take the gender idenity non-binary for example; a non-binary person is born as either a male, female, or intersexual but they aren't binary with society's terms of "masculine" or "feminine" so they psychologically feel like a different gender identity, Or you could take a transgender person for another example: a transgender person is born as one of the three sexes but they aren't binary with their born sex, and they don't "fit" society's terms of "masculine" or "feminine" (masculine for biological males and feminine for biological females) so they psychologically feel like a different gender identity or orientation (typically to the opposite; "masculine" to "feminine" or vice versa). In conclusion, there are more than two sexes (or as you said 'genders") and gender idenity is different than sex.
