@Looeyemn@PearlWrap What you are describing is "masc" which is short for masculine, and I'm just now learning cannot be applied to men... maybe? The specific verbiage gets very important here. Saying man in this context means someone identifying as a male, which is why they cant be lesbian.
@Pefreedom0@pb_and_jaybird Usually we refer to evidence of gonads for determining sex, otherwise a male that cant produce viable sperm is what, a different sex altogether? If a women cant produce viable eggs and a man cant produce viable sperm, are they then the same sex? 2/2
@Pefreedom0@pb_and_jaybird I don't believe that viable gamete are necessary to consider an organism hermaphroditic. If a typically hermaphrodite organism is born that has defects preventing it from producing either gamete, is it no longer a hermaphrodite? 1/2
@Aphotic_0ne@ProgChris@pb_and_jaybird I wouldn't call it a deformation. The most common of these mutations, are unnoticeable without genetic testing. My point is that the OP suggests that Males have XY chromosomes. This is not true. You are clearly aware of this as you reference the possible X,XXY, etc
@50blackmoms@ProgChris@pb_and_jaybird Since the cisgender would match that of the biological sex, I would say it is not possible for someone with chimerism to be cisgender. 2/2
@50blackmoms@ProgChris@pb_and_jaybird With regards to gender trans- reflects if you identify with your assigned gender at birth. I think if you recognize that some one has chimerism, you should see them expressing both sexes at once. 1/2
@TenBears777@pb_and_jaybird Science itself is an argument of what is real and why. Arguing with science is how we have progressed.
Also, the current scientific consensus is that you are wrong.
Here is an example: https://t.co/q32MLzOUmc
@DavidX881548150@pb_and_jaybird You literally proved our point in your comment. We know that the overwhelming majority humans are male or female, but that is not an absolute. The idea that humans are either male with XY or female with XX is not correct.
@Pefreedom0@pb_and_jaybird That is not what this post is about, OP didnt say anything about there being any number of sexes. Also, that is not true. There are species that are hermaphroditic, species that switch between producing sperm and eggs. And a single human can rarely produce both sperm and eggs.
@JamesCanaryII@pb_and_jaybird Genetic variance IS a feature. It is crucial to the survival of life. There is no system that checks if what is being changed is valid. It either makes it through development or it doesn't. The existence of X, XXY, etc karyotypes are valid, and fertile, combinations.
@Omnifarious0@pb_and_jaybird You are incorrect:
Plants with seeds produce immobile sperm.
&
There are many cultures throughout history that have more than the 2 genders. Many also recognize the ability to transition between genders.
@nunya_bustanut@pb_and_jaybird Your hubris only blinds yourself. There are millions of people who do not have XX or XY. And beyond that XX and XY do not absolutely determine sex. https://t.co/q32MLzOUmc
@Steven_Precourt@pb_and_jaybird The quoted picture is attempting to reduce sex and gender to one. Sex is biological and more complex than xx vs xy.
Gender is social and also very complex.
@EricVaughanII1@pb_and_jaybird Gender is not the same as sex, this is about sex. You are right that there are more viable combinations than xx / xy. However you should know that the presence of Y does not make a male. This is an incredibly complicated field that is still being studied.

@jus71in@pb_and_jaybird It is not a fact that XX = female and XY = Male. It is also not true that XX and XY are the only viable options.
Spend more time educating yourself. https://t.co/q32MLzOUmc
@DRK_Rhumple@pb_and_jaybird Denouncing the existence of a category of individuals is harmful, and has historically been used to justify the oppression and killing of those persons.
@EvilCirno@pb_and_jaybird This is not true. The basics typically teach the most common, simplest explanation that is still useful. It is true that most of the time your sex is a product of xx vs xy. It is not true that that is ALWAYS the case. "Advanced" biology teachs you why and how.
