I think I'd be quite up for there being 3 genders that were man, woman, and darling (not if people still use the wrong ones for people though)
The shop keeper near our old house (Midlands UK) used to call all customers that he perceived as female 'darling' and all that he perceived as male 'boss' and I always found it really icky (but his gender attitudes were dodgy anyway according to my son who worked for him for a while)
