Note to TERFs and "gender criticals" who like to go on about the XX and XY: actual expression of sexual characteristics is driven by hormones, and is much more variable than genetics.
An elderly cis man with XY genotype, who had fathered children, was examined for an "inguinal hernia" that turned out to be a uterus.

Everyone leaves out #Intersex conditions during these moments. There's quite a bit more to chromosome alignment than binary XX or XY. Where's the discussion about (XXY), (45,X), (46,XY), (47,XYY), (47,XXX)... the list continues and is very long.
These patients typically require hormone supplementation, many require surgery, and some require gender #transition. My guess is that no one wants to discuss the science or medical reality of gender related healthcare.
@KevinCarson1 @winterschon any time someone pops off about “biology” as an argument against trans rights, intersex conditions provide strong counterexamples.
@elfprince13 @winterschon And there's not a single fact about actual biology that trans rights advocates disagree with them on. Nobody denies that the overwhelming majority of people have either XX or XY genotypes, that the modal XX has a vulva and uterus, etc. Those are facts of biology. "XX is a woman," OTOH, is not a fact of biology; it's a social significance attached to a fact of biology. These people lack the ability to critically evaluable what they think they know and what it actually means, and to distinguish the map from the territory.
