That was my thought as well. That many sexes, if they can be called sexes, basically means everyone would have a single indeterminate sex. Imagine filling a form and selecting your sex among a 20K list of names.

There are more than 20K cities/towns to choose from and most forms have auto-complete for that. So I think we could make it work and if it was an essential part of your identity, I imagine people would come to recognize most of them just by name over time

If my species had 20K sexes, sex wouldn’t be an essential part of my identity. It would be like my fingerprints being part of my personality.
