@Jonas_poirier@jk_rowling@AerithGarden@Ash_Lee_IRL Not particularly. Maybe you believe that due to living in a far left bubble but she's still got a great reputation for her brilliant women's rights efforts. The TRA cancellation efforts failed profoundly in this case.
@halcyon815@kangminlee There are many people on the left who are flat earthers as well. That isn't a right left issue. It's just about science denial which exists on both sides.
@XXMetalDisaster@souaprotector@Flaxxen1 Well, that's what I've been saying it to mean this whole time. The legs example was just to demonstrate that the existence of genetic mutations doesn't mean that general claims are incorrect. OP is correct that there are two sexes which have XX or XY as a general rule.
@Kassandra_Zerb@rwottinglace@XXMetalDisaster@Flaxxen1 I read of one case in an Oxford report (may be inaccurate) and I know of other chromosomal mutations (such as XXX) which can. I made an incorrect assumption about a very specific DSD.
@Kassandra_Zerb@rwottinglace@XXMetalDisaster@Flaxxen1 There are cases of women with XY chromosomes who can produce ova and have children. Female is defined by the body being organised around the function of producing large gametes, not chromosomes. XX is what females typically have and are meant to have, hence why this is a DSD.
@XXMetalDisaster@Flaxxen1 Basically what I'm saying is, you're right but the way people use language casually is usually using a combination of generalities and what things are meant to do.
Which is exactly why people say that females have XX chromosomes when it isn't technically 100% true.
@XXMetalDisaster@Flaxxen1 'female' isn't defined by chromosomes. XX is just the one that females typically have just as humans typically have 2 legs.
'female' is defined by the body being organised around the function of producing large gametes.
This definition includes all females.
@XXMetalDisaster@Flaxxen1 It is possible to say that humans have two legs without caveats despite not all humans being born with them so why is this any different?
