The idea is that gender starts at the genetic level, in single-cell or colonial organisms. For instance slime molds have some 50 different genders or so.
​
Really?! What do they all do? How does it work? Any links?
​
(rant) And it's sexes not genders. Words have genders; organisms have sexes. And lucky organisms have sex. (/rant)

Speciation is allowed as long as no new abilites are formed and if new abilities are formed then it would be macro-evolution
​
Please define PRECISELY what qualifies as a 'new ability'.
