The current binary system is terrible.
1) Agender
2) Genderless
3) Bigender
4) Androgyner

Agender - what if someone identifies as both male and female? that would make them agender, which is wrong.
Genderless - what if they don't want to identify with either gender?
Bigender - what if someone doesn't identify as male or female?
Androgyner - why not use androgynous instead

What do you think of these names for the genders?
1) Agender - what if someone identifies as both male and female? that would make them agender, which is wrong.
2) Genderless - what if they don't want to identify with either gender?
3) Bigender - what if someone doesn't identify as male or female?
4) Androgyner - why not use androgynous instead

"what if they don't want to identify with either gender?"
That's why we have "genderless".
"why not use androgynous instead"
I was using gendered words to represent the genders. So that's not good enough.

Who would consider themself agender if they are a man and a woman?

Well then genderless would be the only option.

You can say androgyny (I think).

I'm not trying to find names for things that aren't even gendered. I'm trying to find gendered names for people who aren't a man or a woman.

That there is no such thing as "genderless".

Then what would you call someone who doesn't identify with a certain gender?

I would call them a person, because they are.

It doesn't. It means "2 genders", not "both genders".

"I wouldn't."
But why not? If that's the case then just make up something to call that person.

Because they're a person, not a gender. And even if I did, I couldn't come up with something in 30 seconds like you can. You said you had these names in 5 minutes, so how can you expect me to come up with better ones in less than an hour?

If you don't understand my point then there is no reason to argue about this anymore.

Then why are you arguing? It's been obvious you want to continue this argument for some reason.
