I'm way overthinking this, but I'm going with finite. It could be an unfathomably large number, but gender is a human construct and there are a finite number of humans. Let's say each human that ever lives has a unique gender identity - there could be billions or trillions, but it would still be finite.

but you could birth a new person who didn't fit that finite number

there will always be a hypothetical new person who could exist
