Nope. There are animals with more than two gamete sizes. Egg and sperm are not sizes.

What animals are those?

Arctic foxes and fruit flies. And before responding, be sure to educate yourself on the difference between what constitutes size and “egg and sperm”. Those are entirely different concepts.

You’re confusing sex and Polymorphism. Those aren’t different sexes
