It is very consistent, it aligns with science, and It has a benchmark, and is what makes life possible. Yours, as i understand it, is very inconsistent and subjective.Themis wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 3:55 amI believe by 8 weeks sexual development has started, but say 4 weeks the fetus is neither male or female at this point. To me when looking at genetic male or female it makes more sense to look at the genetic information on the chromosomes then looking at their shape. Society has always tended to define biological sex by phenotype or what characteristics a new born has. Your definition of women does not seem to have consistency, and in some cases you say yes they are a women, but not technically. Or a woman is XX, or a woman is one who can get pregnant, implying if one does not fit that they are not real women.Markk wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 2:13 amBefore 8 weeks I am not sure one can tell any sex…but I could be wrong. Are you talking about a certain disorder that is detected early? If so a better context is required. If the fetus/baby is diagnosed with PAIS or CAIS…it will be genetically male, if TS, then genetically female. If with ovo-testi that becomes more difficult I suppose, which why many with this disorder are upset with doctors and parents, although trying to their best, who make gender identifications for them at birth, in that some want to identify later as women, some as men, and some as neither…the videos I linked discuss this fairly well.
Thanks
Like the video I shared with you about a “mother” not “defining what their child is in regards to sex, because “she” wants the child to make that call. If the child is a perfectly healthy XX, or XY they have no choice to be what they naturally are. They can alter their natural being by surgeries and hormone treatments, but that is not what they biologically are, it is altering their natural biological make up. If the child has a disorder, then I understand the mothers concern is it is a disorder like PAIS or ovo-testi.
In dealing with, and finding cures for the disorders we have been discussing, the XX and XY model is and will always be the benchmark for accurate research and science, and again finding cures for individuals that suffer from these diseases and disorders.
