Can you chain than together like that?

Chain what together? Genders?

Than.

Oh, yes. It's a phrasal list separated by commas acting as an appositive adjectival phrase.

I guess I was reading it as A > (B > C), but its meaning is (A > B) and (A > C). Which makes sense I guess, but it feels strange.

It's just a stylistic choice.

Anonymous B replied with this 11 months ago, 1 minute later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #1,362,394

I feel like "There are more A than B and C" seems more straightforward than "There are more A, than B, than C."

Because I guess A > B > C is meaningless. Grammatically it makes sense but I think I was interpreting the thans too literally.

so you are saying that they can never be properly represented in a floating point representation, ergo, not storable as computer data

Have we tried increasing global light pollution until only two stars remain visible in the night sky?

If I were gay, I'd be upset. Bunch of tourists that are scared of homosexuality but still want to be in the club.

ONLY TWO GENDERS EXIST. With very rare exceptions, variations occur because of genetic fuck ups.
Of course people are free to put on a costume and pretend they are a rat or dog or the other gender.

AI says:
Genetic defects related to human gender, also known as Differences of Sex Development (DSDs), or intersex conditions, occur in approximately 1 in 4,500 to 1 in 5,000 live births. This includes a range of conditions where the development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomical sex is atypical.
