'''Gender Arity''' or '''Leptarity''' is a [[Leptivity|leptive]] method of describing gender systems. It categorizes gender system based on the number of established/existing gender categories within one's experience or within a given culture.<ref>https://leptrois.tumblr.com/post/186155369267/leptarity-gender-arity</ref> The most well known gender arity is the Western [[Binary Genders|gender binary]]. It is a gender arity of two, denoted by the prefix bi-, meaning that their are two established gender categories, in this case [[man]] and [[woman]]. However, this is not the only gender arity to exist. There are also cultures with five genders (quinary) or six genders (senary/hexary).
