What is smart about what? Tf are you asking me? Are you offended or something?

So…why are you asking me that? Do you need me to explain the purpose of the joke being that people choose to identify how they want and that the joke is that someone could identify as an Apache helicopter? I must be missing something here. Maybe you can help?

And don’t get me wrong brother, you asked the question first, nobody was speaking to you 😂🫵🏼

And we’re deleting comments? Me using an emoji is a troll was almost a good point. But no bro I’m just laughing at you, because you can’t handle someone else supporting another’s opinion that the joke is indeed funny, and on brand for the subject of discussion. It’s not attacking trans people or their right to be who they are. Who is mad now? I sure as hell wasn’t upset earlier either I was just trying to figure out what you were asking me.

I think transplants and large transfusions from other sexes make for the most interesting debate on if someone can technically change their biological sex.

Hormone Replacement Therapy changes not only brain chemistry, but also physiological sex. MtF patients not only develop breasts but their mammary glands enlarge and are capable of lactation when prolactin is introduced. FtM patients have been observed developing prostate tissue.👇

So a splinter is very different! The reason is because the splinter doesn’t become a part of your body and stay with you forever. It’s like people with permanent electronic transplants like a pace maker being considered cyborgs because they work together and stay there permanently.

Now also, cells divide and multiply so once you have a separate set of dna in your system, there is no idea how much of it there actually is in your body and how many of your cells have different kinds of dna. They become part of your body similar to drinking water except our body never dumps it out.

If the sole definition of female is a human with xx chromosomes, then a human with multiple sets of different chromosomes wouldn’t fall under that category. So then goes to argue, is it chromosomes and body parts that defines someone as a female? Then changing body parts relates to changing sexes.

Anonymous mother_russia 16w

You’re so close. Pacemaker carriers aren’t robots, they possess electronics. In a similar sense to how splinter carriers aren’t trees, they simply possess wood. In the same sense mothers aren’t males, they simply possess one of their child’s male traits.

And if you say the definition would then just be a human with majority xx chromosomes, how do you know when it’s a majority? We can’t test every cell in our body for the chromosomes. Basically the only time people get tested any more than once is in studies specific to microchimerism in humans. So how do you personally get to make the judgement on male or female?

I said that we are still figuring out how much of our dna is probably foreign to our bodies. Meaning: almost everyone has at least some dna that didn’t originate from our bodies.

Anonymous #14 16w

Yes, you don’t know the exact number of cells of foreign dna is in your body because the cells multiply. Thats is 100% true. And I’m also saying it can happen from so many sources that we have no idea how much of our dna is actually just ours and how much is foreign. And yes some people can physically have any level of chromosome concentration between xx and xy (which aren’t the only chromosome types) including 50/50. It’s extremely uncommon to be that far on the scale obviously.

I’m saying that all of those actions leave residual foreign dna in your body that’s says with you for supposedly the rest of our life. It seems quite obvious how it relates to the subject matter.

2

It's worth mentioning that everyone in utero develops as female initially. It's why males have nipples and a seam on their scrotum from where their vestigial labia fused. Sex is partially encoded in our DNA, yes, but much of our expressed phenotype is due to hormonal changes during development. This is precisely why transsexuals who transition earlier in their development are more passable as the sex they transition to.

Anonymous mother_russia 16w

So… you’re walking back on your original claim that biological sex can be changed or influenced. Microchimerisms do not alter the mother’s existing DNA structure in the slightest, simply adds to the pool, which you’ve agreed to. Extremes do exist, but that does not CHANGE or INFLUENCE anything about the existing structure

Oh absolutely! The differences between men and women are almost all hormonal! Sex characteristics and secondary sex characteristics are all formed from hormones and not a whole separate set of dna that the other sex doesn’t have

Obviously trans people aren’t getting blood transfusions to match their gender identity, but my whole point with all of this is that sex is not a clear cut definition and contrary to popular belief, most of us have at least 2 sets of dna in us. Sex is a spectrum biologically. Mosaicism is when your body mutates it’s own dna and makes two separate dnas for your whole body with neither of them being foreign (and yes it can cause both xx and xy chromosomes simultaneously in the body)

The dna is replaced because in a transplant they are removing an organ or skin and putting one in with separate dna 🤦‍♀️

Sex is absolutely a clear cut definition. If you are born with XX chromosomes, you are female. If you are born with XY chromosomes, you are male.

Sex is a spectrum. Sex is defined as male or female. Male or female is defined as having all xy or all xx chromosomes respectively. People exist with both sets of chromosomes as varying levels even as far as 50/50. So people exist between male and female. So male and female is a spectrum. So sex is a spectrum. Some people just have more cells of one chromosome than others.

Anyways, I’m done pulling teeth with you. The science behind why sex is bimodal is honestly very straightforward.
