It feels pointless to discuss “science” with those shouting “binary” but let’s try. Forget feelings. What if you’ve had gender reassignment surgery and in almost every way but that Y chromosome, you’re female by cultural standards. Should you be in an all-male dorm or prison?
How about if you have the not-that-unusual condition of an XXY chromosome? Or an XYY? Should the government decide your sex?
How about hermaphroditism? For all the world, you were born a girl only to develop ambiguous genitalia at puberty? Read Middlesex if you think this is fanciful.
Point is, for all the people laughing at the notion that gender and sex can be scientifically complicated, well it can — even if you wish to dismiss gender identification as some sort of mental illness.
No they don’t because those conditions can be defined by genetic testing. A genetic test can tell you exactly what you are and are not, it’s NOT something one can simply decide on their own.
It’s probably best that you close your mouth on this and appear stupid rather than open it and remove all doubt...just sayin.
47,XYY are mostly normal fertile men, though some are sterile. There is a 1994 book called _Was George Washington Really The Father Of Our Country?: A Clinical Geneticist Looks At World History_ that speculates that George Washington was 47,XYY. This theory can now be tested.
