"It's scientific fact that humans come in 2 varieties: XX for female, and XY for male. EXCEPT: - You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age12. - You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. - You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, and have a penis and testes, AND a uterus and fallopian tubes. - You can be born legally male with an X and a Y chromosome, but your Y chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes - and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a male body. - You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn't produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as male. - You can be born with XX chromosomes - AND XY chromosomes (chimerism). So the next time you attempt to use science as justification for your bigotry, remember that God created humans in many variations, and maybe stop trying to stuff everyone into little 'male or female' checkboxes.
This is important for everyone to know.
Biology is full of exceptions. Look at all these examples.
