The idea that men and women are fundamentally different from each other is widely accepted.

It has always been a universally accepted fact until the universities lost their collective minds.

No you're not. It's likely just more pseudo-"science"; politics masquerading as medicine. I believe very little of what today's "scientific" institutes put out anymore.

Most nonsense sounds like gobbldy gook.

Even if true, be sure that 99.9999% of men who say they are really women do NOT match this scenario one single bit.

Don’t know about that. But I do have the SRW genes - Super Reactive Willy. Carlos Danger and I have registered the trademark “BoingMaster” as part of our marketing campaign.

They are saying this is why Rosie O’Donnell has hair all the way down her back and chest.

“The essential idea is that our evolution has favored a broad range of social competencies. In prehistory, this range would have given a survival advantage to communities enriched by a diversity of gender styles.”

Oh, no! I call bull sh!t.

“...diversity of gender styles...” is another way of creating, out of thin air, a BIOLOGICAL excuse for the existence of homosexuality.

No you aren't. It's just a little obscure. The idea is that something in the Y chromosome doesn't turn an embryo into a male until well into the development of the embryo, and in this rare case it doesn't get switched on at all and you have what is morphologically a female - breasts, female hormones, etc - actually carry the chromosomes for a male. She's sterile as a result. But she has, in the single X chromosome she got from her mother, enough genetic information to form a nearly complete female.

Fascinating stuff. It is exquisitely uncomfortable for the supporters of abortion to contemplate just how much a fetus does develop in how little time. Undifferentiated tissue it is most certainly not.

Somewhere on that Y chromosome is the explanation for why only males attempt to light farts with fireworks. I would hate for future generations to be denied that important step in the evolution of our species.

#9 That looks exactly like my cat (in HER younger years).
If she tried that now... well... it wouldn’t be pretty.

So as I understand this, I was a female, but I got lucky and grew junk. LOL

I’m with you. I think they took something that could be scientifically correct and steered off into the PC realm.

Have you ever noticed that women have a sixth sense that they are being “checked out”. Being old and ugly but not dead, I am amazed how a woman will look around when a guy is admiring her attributes stealthily..

I think stuff in OP is fact-laced conjecture, aka scientific-sounding sophistry, intended to blur distinctions between male and female.

Among plants and animals, species tend to increase their number of chromosomes when they want greater diversity and adaptability. They tend to decrease their number of chromosomes when they are trying to save energy.

The human species seems to be trying to decrease our number of chromosomes. This seems to be why we have 46 pairs, but other primates: gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans have 48 pairs.

In any event, this may explain the ‘Y’ chromosome of males. Originally, it was likely an ‘X’ chromosome, but one of its ‘arms’ or ‘legs’ was broken off and no longer copied.

Eventually, the ‘Y’ chromosome is expected to fail. But a replacement is waiting in the wings, as it were. The ‘X’ sex chromosome, the female chromosome, seems to be weakening. A common cause of birth defects today is called “Fragile X Syndrome”, in which one of the ‘arms’ or ‘legs’ of the ‘X’ sex chromosome is damaged or even broken.

So the ‘Y’ chromosome fails, and is replaced by a new ‘Y’ chromosome, and another ‘X’ chromosome replaces it as a sex chromosome.
