Questions about genders ... male/female

[Violet]

Whiles those are valid issues, they are not relevant to human biology. Humans cannot biologically be intersex, although they can have (as mentioned before) serious abnormalities.

Such as fucked up sexual chromosomes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome is one example of what I'm talking about, but it depends on what you mean by "biologically intersex".

It is possible for some birds and some other animals to be intersex, the condition produces an adult that is biologically male on one side and biologically female on the other (split vertically left-right). such intersex creatures can be fertile - meaning they can be both the paternal and maternal parent of an offspring. In other creatures sex/gender can be determined environmentally and not genetically, and in some creatures they can change their sex from male to female (or the other way) as an adult in a single sex environment. Again, humans can't do this, and although environmental factors can produce serious abnormalities in development, it can't determine gender. It is biologically impossible for a human to develop both an ovary and a testicle. The human gonads cannot develop separately into the two distinct sexes, as can happen (as mentioned) in birds.

Sounds painful. I see what you're contention is... and I agree.

Biologically speaking, a person with a single X chromosome is a female. A person with three X chromosomes is a female. A person with XXY chromosomes is a male.

This is not meant as an attack on your community, just on the exact biological definition of sex/gender.

Thank you for clarifying The definitions of both sex and gender are so often disputed and have so many variations that it tends to take hours to come to common ground, explaining that kind of intricacy... I wasn't in the mood, and I apologize for that

Its the way it is, and that's all, there's female and male, one has a doddle and one doesn't, its that simple.

So if I cut off the one's 'doddle'....?

Making females! Making females! Lalalala!
