I always knew Republicans have zero knowledge of biology, but WTF? This is insane!!!

Ohio bill orders doctors to ‘reimplant ectopic pregnancy’ or face 'abortion murder' charges

How many genders are there in biology?

How many genders are there in biology?

I'm not a biologist. A person can have the most common sex chromosome combinations of XX or XY [edit previously mistakenly said YY] . There are those with the less common combinations of XXY and XYY. I don't know the answer for sure, but I would have to guess that the answer is not 2 based on these unusual cases alone. If gender is rigidly defined by reproductive roles, the answer might seem to be 2, but is it really? I think we all know of people whose appearance and demeanor seem to conflict with their traditionally accepted gender assignment. If you don't believe this, look no further than Lindsey Graham.

How many make you uncomfortable? Don’t confuse sex with gender.

You sound pretty confused with science

You've never heard of Klinefelter's syndrome? Have you no knowledge of genetics? Do you deny that characteristics considered masculine and feminine vary among XYs or XXs. Do you think it's possible that certain single nucleotide polymorphisms could modulate levels of testosterone or estrogen? Studies from the nih indicate the answer might be yes.

It’s really not that hard. Lots of syndromes, but everyone is a male or female and there is an argument for a unisex designation. People after all are born with no or both sex organs.

I read your question as about gender.

I thought the duplication of chromosomes was the cause of downs syndrome a.k.a. chromosome 21 disorder. It just goes to show you, you learn something new every day. Thanks!

Uhm, unisex is generally accepted to mean the same as gender neutral.

Nope, you can have duplication of the sex chromosomes. There are even women who are XXX, and I' m not talking about Donald Trump's whorefriends.
