It is often claimed by gender activists that 1.7% of the population are neither male nor female.

But 88% of the 1.7% number involves Late Onset CAH, which involves unambiguous males or females who are almost always fertile.

This drops the number to 0.2%. But even within this percentage, almost all DSDs do not cause any sex ambiguity. The fetus still develops a clear phenotype organized around sperm or ova.

The cases that result in ambiguity are less than 0.02% of the population, and within these cases, sex can still be identified by analyzing gonadal tissue and internal genitalia to see what reproductive pathway the fetus was going down when the DSD occurred.

It is a clear lie to claim that 1.7% of the population are neither male nor female. It muddies the reality of the individual conditions, furthers misinformation regarding the biological details necessary for accurate medical treatment, and "others" people out of their sex just because they developed a disorder.

Endocrine and reproductive problems affect the two sexes differently, and it is paramount we understand this if we are to provide safe and effective medical and psychological care.
By the way, I do have my sex development charts, which plot the development path of most of the conditions on the graphic.

But a written description would still be useful.

From a peer-reviewed paper on male lactation: “We should therefore rethink what successful breastfeeding means. The main goal of lactation induction in transgender women may not necessarily be milk production, but rather the nonnutritional benefits that come from breastfeeding.”
Many of the peer-reviewed papers praising breastfeeding in trans women are examples of how gender ideology has captured the research process.

This paper discusses how the milk supply was low and not enough to sustain the infant without supplementation.

Let’s clarify genotype and phenotype and how these terms relate to sex 🧵
1. What is genotype?

Genotype is the complete set of an organism’s genes.

People often confuse genotype for the collection of chromosomes (karyotype) but genotype is about the genes within the chromosomes.
Sex is determined genetically in mammals, where genes trigger differentiation down the male or female pathway.

It is therefore the genes within the chromosomes that determine your sex development path.

This is sick and anti-science. All these development disorders result in males or females.

I will explain how below.
Let’s start with Swyer Syndrome.

It occurs when male sex determining genes like SRY are absent in an XY fetus, which then allows the fetus to go down the female path.

This results in anatomy organized around eggs (female). Image
Klinefelter Syndrome.

This occurs when a fetus is conceived with two X chromosomes and one Y. Because of the male sex determining gene on the Y chromosome, SRY, the fetus develops the anatomy to support sperm (male).

Adding Xs does not make you “less male.” Image

If you are going to read one scientific paper on biological sex, read this one.

It’s the quintessential manifesto for articulating why sex is binary, written in the peer-reviewed journal BioEssays.
onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/bi…
This paper covers many of the principles I’ve written about and many of the scientific papers I’ve used on the biology of sex.
It encapsulates all the biological arguments we’ve made against the sex spectrum and why the sex spectrum is wrong.
