I am too stupid to get what they are talking about

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.

It’s not stupidity, but it’s not pseudo-science either.

If you want to see pseudo science you should look at any of the post that attempt to paint whether someone is born as male or female determined based on the presence of a Y chromosome..... THAT is pseudo-science. What is being seen is that it’s not nearly as simply as that, there are multiple genetic components that need to line up in order for a person to be born “male”. This article is dealing with a case of someone born with a condition known as Sawyer’s syndrome.... in this case the SRY gene trigger is nonfunctional... the SRY gene is what triggers male gonadal development. In such a case the person is born with gonads which may contain ovarian and testicular cells, and are non functional. As a result they do not release the necessary hormones for the development of secondary sexual characteristics and genital development and the person has a female phenotype at birth.

Another example of what can happen is with AIS(partial or complete), in that case the SRY gene is present and testicles develop, but due to an error on the AR gene which is located in the X chromosome the persons sells poorly react or (or in some cases do not react at all) to natural produced androgens from the gonads, and the genitals develop either completely female in appearance or ambiguous testicles do not descend and remain in the abdomen, and usually become even more feminine in appearance at puberty due to unused testosterone getting converted by the body to estrogen, feminizing the person in appearance even more. CAIS women especially will be even curvier withe larger breasts due the higher level of estrogen naturally in their system than what happens with non-CAIS females.

These conditions have existed for quite some time. Likely predating their “recent” diagnosis.... It was merely that we lacked the medical science at the time to fully comprehend what was happening and just made assumptions purely based upon phenotype. (aka, the baby is born with a vagina, so it’s a girl).

Don’t confuse our increase in understanding of what is going on and causes these types of conditions with “pseudo-science”.
