May be a cartoon of text that says 'STATES ARE ALLOWING FOLKS το NOT IDENTIFY AS MALE OR FEMALE NOW INTERESTING... THE CONSTITUTION ONLY GRANTS MEN AND WOMEN THE RIGHT το VOTE BHNS P'

That's false. The 19th Amendment says: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." There could be 27 sexes and the Constitution would still protect their right to vote.

Either you are a pointer or a setter, or am I mistaken ? That makes just two sexes.

The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote, a right known as women’s suffrage, and was ratified on August 18, 1920, ending almost a century of protest. In 1848, the movement for women’s rights launched on a national level with the Seneca Falls Convention, organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. Following the convention, the demand for the vote became a centerpiece of the women’s rights movement. Stanton and Mott, along with Susan B. Anthony and other activists, raised public awareness and lobbied the government to grant voting rights to women. After a lengthy battle, these groups finally emerged victorious with the passage of the 19th Amendment.
