Did the doctor check your chromosomes when you came out of the womb?

Lol imagine being a nerd, but it is for 6th grade biology. At least be a nerd about college biology.

    Well, they can ...

    Doctor's in the UK offer screening for Down's syndrome, Edwards' syndrome and Patau's syndrome at 10-14 weeks.

    That isnt the primary mode by which the assignment of sex happens in our society. Stop being an idealist around what sex is, and actually grapple with how sex classification practically happens within our society.

    When doctors mutilate intersex babies they don't wait for a chromosome test.
