The other genders are just the most popular mixes of the traditional male and female societal roles.

> The term “gender identity” first appeared in the 1960s. It referred to a person’s inner sense of belonging to the category of male or female.

If you made a list of all the traditional characteristics of male vs female, then it's all the combinations of these characteristics.

In reality, it could be unlimited.

When you say "just another word for personality", personality could be broken down into 100s of different traits, then gendered based on culture, then mixed.

One could argue that if a gender is unrelated from traditional gender roles, and the group population is minor, then it starts to become rather useless.
