I am pondering how I would prove I am a male if proof were required. I am serious, after I declare I am male what further evidence is required for proof? Do I provide birth and baptism records? Is physical evidence still acceptable.
I was just wondering because I have a test that would prove which of the two sexes one is, at least to my satisfaction. More study would be required to test surgically altered humans.
Here is a strange story with a happy ending
What a travesty.
Count the ribs....easy!
“Genetically a man”. You see I have a problem with the very first few words. There is no such thing as male or female DNA. Identical twins who are brother and sister have the same DNA.
Here are some options:
The Six Most Common Karyotypes
The six biological karyotype sexes that do not result in death to the fetus are:
X Roughly 1 in 2,000 to 1 in 5,000 people (Turners )
XX Most common form of female
XXY Roughly 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people (Klinefelter)
XY Most common form of male
XYY Roughly 1 out of 1,000 people
XXXY Roughly 1 in 18,000 to 1 in 50,000 births
We’re dealing with Chromosome Deniers.
Why is it a travesty?
yeah, you’re right...
thx for the breakout
Pffft! There you go, bringing Science into this! What use is THAT!?
OK, so it was a TV show, but based on a real forensic anthropologist, and the lead character in “BONES” was able to ID the gender and race of a 200 year old skeleton by certain bones, i.e, the width of one’s pelvis, the shape of the skull. I would think it’s pretty basic for anyone who has studied forensic anthropology.
My tax dollars going for crap like this while everyone having to use the subway and bus system suffers horribly like I did today with a signal problem.
And this poster (also on the subway wall) proudly proclaims another toilet to throw my taxpayer money away on. Now I have to subsidize special gay health services, gay counseling, gay housing assistance "and more".
Another poster proclaimed that teachers will get special training on how to deal with gays. How about paying to teach the 3 Rs's?
Just D___N!
In addition to the 3Rs, teachers need to learn how to defend their students from violent intruders as well as PC Crap.
Actually, it’s the Y that makes the male.
xxx=female
xxy=male
xyy=male
xxyy=male
x0=female
DNA. Only one in about 69,000 will be a little difficult to tell.
You read my mind Telepathic Intruder.
Its easy. A heterosexual male can walk by a shoe store without looking in the window.
Very very good...
In that case the presence of a Y chromosome denotes male sex the absence female no matter how many X chromosomes there are. Of course these individuals have characteristic physical traits and are often infertile, but it is the presence or absence of the Y chromosome that confers sex.
I had to do that analysis in forensic anthro in college. A broken chunk of bone and we had to sex it. Difficult!
