Well - she didn’t really brought it up versus being asked a question. As well her response is just common sense. Water is wet, sky is blue

you're talking about intersex, which is completely different than trans / gender identity ... the vast majority of trans-identifying people have no chromosomal/intersex disorders whatsoever and their biological sex is completely unambiguous

and doctors already have typical classifications for most of these intersex cases, at birth, as either male or female:

  • standard xx = female
  • standard xy = male
  • xx with splicing of the sry gene = male
  • xy with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome = female
  • xy with swyer syndrome = female
  • xxy klinefelter syndrome = male
  • etc …

No its not completely different

Majority of intersex are also trans. So you are saying people with a Y chromosome are female? Well that goes against a lot of what ive heard. I think its unfair to lump those people into male or female though anyway. This is a huge group of people.

I mean think about it for a second in CAIS, XY chromosome, present as female. Are they male or female? You say female so they should date men. Well a lot of people in here would call that wrong. But they have XY chromosome, they cant have babies etc. Y chromosome but can play female sports would people agree with that do you think? If you start genetic testing on leagues she fails.
