Was watching an utterly I think fascinating video on the things about gender in an entirely genetical way (about well yeah the science behind it all), rather people go on about saying its in the science (though is true you cant change your genetics more doesnt always stay static, is just the way things are really), when in reality a lot of the time I'll bet no ones ever been tested who claims that.
Speaking from a perspective of someone who's not had any kind of gender related things (like I believe those relevant genes exist in least chromosome 40 (I think actually its 46 but dont quote me on that lol and feel utterly free to correct me lol)) in any sense tested, have had chromosome 5 looked at, is why I have the horrible condition that is called Familial Adenomatous Polyposis to cut a long story short essentially is a cell regulator (least partially a tumour suppressor gene that exists in chromosome 5) gene thats least partially missing in me, that inevitably least typically leads to cancer of the large bowel.
In the sort of grossly over simplified sense isnt always black and white, this was that video (though not sure what to make of some of the things she says, is hugely fascinating about what defines the kind of gender in the genetical sense)
Like without regarding at all about gender, have heard the (I think she's amazing and has got me through some rough times or one time when it all came to a head when having to decide what to do about what was left of my large bowel. I honestly thought my head was going to implode with the pressure I was putting on myself, like if I go for this what if this happens and then another and yeah.... but had some kind of counselling on the reality of every decision by some amazing bowel nurses in the hospital I get treated for FAP.) Tove Lo was born with two livers (doesnt mean unfortunately she can drink more lol) but yeah she's incredible
Also heard of a rare case when someone was born with two sets of reproductive organs, when she should have only been born with one.
What I am deadly against is politicising it, have heard of similar things that are in some way least loosely related to what I have problems with, and hate it! Like people being offended for others just is utterly absurd!
What makes my case of FAP rather least a bit strange (had registrars joke saying I should buy a lottery ticket as its unheard of lol) is that my grandfather died of cancer of the large bowel when I was least 11 (I cant remember exactly how old I was) and almost convinced he had an undiagnosed case of FAP. But then since its an autosomal dominant meaning it only requires one of the APC genes (since two are passed onto a parents offspring, so there's a half chance of passing it on) for it to be present, is unheard of in medical circles.
