    Do you disagree that in biology sex is determined by X and Y Chromosomes? I would love to see a citation otherwise as that is pretty undisputed biology.

      I bet your favorite flavor of crayon isn’t even a rare color.

      “The slowly increasing understanding and acceptance of intersex people exemplifies how scientists and society still have a lot to learn about biological sex and the ways sex determination occurs in humans. Though biologists have an understanding that chromosome combinations influence the biological sex that an embryo develops as, biologists still know very little about the specific genes and mechanisms that control the sexual development pathway. Additionally, there are many factors beyond chromosomes that influence the sexual characteristics a person develops, and scientists are continually uncovering more intricacies in the development process. Finally, the events that lead to atypical sexual development have to be further explored.”

      Fuck you.

        That doesn’t disprove what was stated. It proves what I stated.

        From you cite

        Humans who inherit two X chromosomes typically develop as females, while humans with one X and one Y chromosome typically develop as males. That is what triggers the male or female. That is why we are a binary species. Intersex is a deviance in the development.

        Other variances are viewed as deviant.

        https://www.britannica.com/science/sex-chromosome

        The sex chromosomes of human beings and other mammals are designated by scientists as X and Y.

        That is what you would be taught in any biology course.

          Sounds like somebody is scared of facts they don’t like

          I’m not here because I might be convinced. I’m here to laugh at the mentally handicapped. Thank you for your time.

            I know you are and that is why I am trying to educate you.

            X and Y is what determines sex and is taught in biology. Don’t be scared of science. It is just how the world works.
