Also, it gets much more complicated than that; at least 2% of humans are intersex, meaning they’re a mix of male and female, everywhere from outward presentation (rare) to chromosomal (more common). It’s not just gender that’s a spectrum: sex is, too. I said ‘at least’ because it’s possible for people to go their whole lives without realising they’re intersex. 2% is huge: if you know 100 people, statistically 2 of them are intersex. Most of us know more than that. The ‘only two genders’ thing is biologically bullshit. Biology is never cut and dried. eta: for reference, I have a disorder that’s been in the spotlight lately – Ehlers-Danlos – and you’ve probably at least heard of it. You’ve likely talked to someone who has it recently. It occurs in 1 in 20,000 people. Again, roughly 1 in 50 have intersex traits. I wish this had the visibility it deserves.

You’re right in that we all get them by default. As I understand it the only reason males keep them is because evolutionarily it would take more energy to remove them than keep them.

Thanks for explaining. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Jimbob0i0@lemmy.world 35 points 2 years ago (2 children) The He-Man series back in the 80s always ended with little moral quips, so this is mimicking that. The fact is that all fetuses start off assuming female, and then the presence of certain chromosomes trigger male anatomy. Hence all males being trans if life starts at conception, as at X week development shifts to generate the male oriented organs.

Turns out making beings out of trillions of cells of 100s of types (all of which have basically the same 3 or 6 billion base pair genome, yet have to act very differently) is complicated and any process has many steps, which involve various genes, receptors, signals, etc, all of which could be interrupted. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago Thanks for the explanation!
