Pssttt... More Women Than Expected Are Genetically Men

"Sex chromosomes usually determine whether you are female or male. Women are XX. Men are XY. However, genetically, a few women are actually men. They grow up as women with a woman’s body, and most only discover well into puberty that they are different. Danish researchers map for the first time how many women are genetically men. The proportion was higher than expected."

@DoomsdaysCW not only that, but I would also say that this is a natural variation on sex... in particular sex organs which is nobody's business but appropriate medical professionals and mutually consenting sexual partners when it involves genitalia

If I'm not mistaken that technically falls under intersex, the I in LGBTQIA...

@DoomsdaysCW so if I'm not mistaken there's something similar regarding those declared as men too?

Though I'm sure for those uninterested in children regarding sexual partners, it doesn't even matter about having testicles/ovaries...

It only would matter to those wanting to reproduce...

I know that part wouldn't really matter to me.

@LeatherCubAndrew @DoomsdaysCW it is indeed an intersex condition.
That the body fails to make T or does not respond to it.
