I'm just picturing that robot from Star Trek (the one thinking about "this sentence is false") going "huh" and then blowing up........

One reason is because your chromosomes don’t control genital development, your hormones do. So if you’re born with XY chromosomes and your testosterone receptors don’t work then you’ll develop female genitals and a generally female physiology (minus reproductive organs).

This is all separate from gender expression obviously, but things are hard because the world is complex. If you haven’t seen or experienced this complexity in your life, that’s fine. But don’t diminish the complexity of other’s experiences just because they don’t match your own.

I was going to say this, but far more rudely. Thanks for explaining calmly!

I personally know someone like that. She's currently raising a kid she gave birth to thanks to a donated egg and IVF. Chromosomes are useful for first order approximations, but biology is a glorious fucking mess that cares not for simple binaries.

I hope that the person you're responding to will be able to form a new opinion after seeing these very measured and thoughtful responses. I'm really pleased with how calmly the community is handling this particular comment.
