110 sats \ 2 replies \ @endothermicdev 25 Feb \ on: Biological sex is not as simple as male or female science
Even going with a chromosomal definition gets difficult quickly. It seems like that would make for a binary classification, but that's only mostly the case. There's XX and XY, sure, but 0.15% of people are XXY, and there are some with just a single X chromosome. There's even XXYY, or XXXY combinations (seems like mathematically we're halfway between male and female ratio here.) How about XXXXY? Nature is wild - it keeps life interesting. Also it doesn't care about our labels.

Wouldn't you consider those to be exceptions that prove the rule? If a child is born with an extra X chromosome, we don't hold our hands up and say that they are some new third gender, we instead see that they are a man with Klinefelter syndrome.
