There are cis women who even go on to give birth who have XY chromosomes. Intersex people are not just one or two in every country, there are MILLIONS. More than there are redheads. Most don’t even know they’re Intersex, either. And yet they still prove women are not just XX. Even just ONE exception to the arbitrary “rule” would prove it wrong.
Also, #3, there are plenty of cis women born without ovaries or who have to have an oophorectomy. They’re still women because they’re not defined solely by their bodies nor do they exist to be your idea of an incubator. Chromosomes and organs are not all that makes someone who they are. Time to grow up.
Yes, i am aware that there are millions of intersex which account for 1-2% of the population. Like I said before, I1 was referring to the vast majority of women. Your example with women that give birth even with XY chromosomes are not capable of producing their own egg. And no that does not mean a woman who are infertile are not women. The two events of producing an egg and xx chromosomes are heavily correlated among mammals.
Many XY cis women absolutely do produce their own eggs. And yet that’s not the only defining aspects. Biology is anything but simple. People cannot be shoved into two little boxes- it doesn’t and can’t work. “Male” and “female” are very loose words. They’re great for quick reference in research and such, but they are not enough to encapsulate the actual diversity and complexity there is. “Man” and “woman” are even more complex because they tie in sociolinguistics, cultural lenses, etc.
I looked around, and I could not find a case of someone with sywer syndrome producing their own eggs, if you could give me a source, I would be more than happy to take a look at it! I totally agree with the men and women as their definitions have changed and it’s a lot more involved with society and I don’t even wanna get started with those, there’s so much to know. I prefer sticking to more relatively fixed terms such as male and female, but still there’s always nuance with those terms
Well, you seemed pretty close minded, so I was just thought I’d shed some light on your current beliefs as you did with mine! Also, I was referring to the term female, which is best to talk about with science. I tried to stay away from the term woman as it has many social implications. I asked what daft means, did I not?
Swyer syndrome is not the only female-assigned XY arrangement. And yes, there are those with XY who do have functioning ovaries. The Y chromosome carries very little genetic information on its own and what usually triggers larger differences in development are the SRY gene and hormones.
