Ive seen this idiotic viewpoint being pushed by radicals now and Im wondering how they could even begin to justify it. Remember a few years ago when you all said: hey were talking about GENDER, not sex. Of course the biological sex doesnt change, but socially, gender is whats important. Now suddenly the SEX chromosomes dont determine SEX, and instead a mutated gene is more important.

Research suggests, however, that in a few births per thousand some individuals will be born with a single sex chromosome (45X or 45Y) (sex monosomies) and some with three or more sex chromosomes (47XXX, 47XYY or 47XXY, etc.) (sex polysomies). In addition, some males are born 46XX due to the translocation of a tiny section of the sex determining region of the Y chromosome. Similarly some females are also born 46XY due to mutations in the Y chromosome. Clearly, there are not only females who are XX and males who are XY, but rather, there is a range of chromosome complements, hormone balances, and phenotypic variations that determine sex.

The biological differences between men and women result from two processes: sex determination and differentiation.(3) The biological process of sex determination controls whether the male or female sexual differentiation pathway will be followed. The process of biological sex differentiation (development of a given sex) involves many genetically regulated, hierarchical developmental steps. More than 95% of the Y chromosome is male-specific (4) and a single copy of the Y chromosome is able to induce testicular differentiation of the embryonic gonad. The Y chromosome acts as a dominant inducer of male phenotype and individuals having four X chromosomes and one Y chromosome (49XXXXY) are phenotypically male. (5) When a Y chromosome is present, early embryonic testes develop around the 10th week of pregnancy. In the absence of both a Y chromosome and the influence of a testis-determining factor (TDF), ovaries develop.

Are they really biologically a man if they were born trans? Clearly their chromosomes are telling a more complicated picture of their biology.

So... exactly my point? Having a Y chromosome means you are a male.

They are a man as that is the definition of man (XY).

It means you are born with testes. There are 22 other pairs of chromosomes determining the rest you besides sex and that can include being transgender. Biologically speaking, we are far more than one pair of chromosomes and our traditional social classification of what genitals that pair gives you.

Does any of this result in any kind of complications like genetic illnesses or sterility?

The majority of them do. Kleinfelters is XXY and those men are shorter, less intelligent, and sterile. XYY are taller, with no noticeable defects.

Basically there's an incredibly tiny group of people who are intersex that are incredibly rare and not well understood medically and completely different than being trans and the entire LGBTQ movement is using their unusual bodies to promote a completely unrelated agenda.

Then what is this topic? You want people to explain why there are radical idiots confusing sex with gender? I don't know honestly. Maybe they are just super triggered and overreact when they hear people use the sex chromsome argument to downplay trans people.

I love the dodging from using an actual number. But even that disingenuous vocabulary manipulation, thats still just a mutation, not a new gender. If someone is born with an extra arm theyre not a new species, its just an abnormality.

So, no, regardless of whatever Buzzfeed/Vox or - wherever you got your nonsense from - when 99.99% of the world is either XX or XY there isnt a range if .00~1% dont fit within the binary options.

That's part of why I asked if they resulted in illnesses and sterility because for all this talk of new genders most if not all of them are an evolutionary dead end doomed to die out and only exist in the first place because of mutations from the only 2 genders capable of evolution.

Basically, having additional X chromosomes can be pretty bad, but having additional Y chromosomes should be fine. There were weird studies that predicted that extra Y chromosomes may lead to more "aggressive" individuals, but there's no actual proof of that.
