      But I think this obsession with DNA is 100% philosophical - the idea that there's a blueprint somewhere for what you "should" be and that deviating from it is bad

      It's Plato's Ideal You, but with a veneer of science (that most of us aren't educated enough in to understand; I include myself in this, I only know the basics of how DNA works)

      There's a lot to be said here about how the homunculus theory of human reproduction - the medieval belief that sperm actually contained tiny little miniature humans that just needed to be planted in a womb and grow - never really any away That's still the popular idea of DNA

      People really think that if you could flawlessly "read your DNA" it would be like a little photograph of you That the things we actually observe about human beings - what you look like, your personality, your IQ - are "written into your genes" in some objective way

      And it's at best an oversimplification and at worst an active and damaging lie The whole thing where pop culture "clones" are exact xerox duplicates When in real life identical twins often don't even really look the same

      Like, it's not uncommon to meet twins where one of them is taller than the other, or heavier, or has different hair or skin, especially as they get older (and are no longer living in the same house with the same environment)

      And, like, both twins "really" look like that, they're both the way they "really" should be, there's not some Ideal Human "encoded into their genes" that's the way they "should" look under "ideal conditions" That's not a real concept, that's Nazi shit

      There is no single real person "encoded" by a set of DNA There are an infinite possible number of people (and non-people, like tumors) that DNA could "encode"

      "There are an infinite possible number of people (and non-people, like tumors) that DNA could "encode"" You absolute loon! So a human fetus could develop into a male or female all the way through pregnancy could it?

      "An infinite number of possibilities" is not the same as "all possibilities"

          So what is your point? Male or female is the result of a developmental path established at conception. This establishes the range of possibilities for the development of characteristics in each case.

          A path that can be veered off of in any direction at numerous points along the way because of a huge number of factors, most notably somatic mutations.
