There are four sex determining events in utero.
So gender isn’t as black and white like you’re a boy or you’re a girl.
We are all made up of DNA, chromosomes and genes that make us all different. Like eye color, there’s two dominant colors, but also green, gray, even purple and so many different shades and combinations.
At Conception The woman provides the egg, which is an x chromosome. Because womens chromosomal sex is xx.
The man provides an x or a y because men are xy. Chromosomal sex
Around the 6-7 week mark, if the man provided a y the sry gene carried on the y triggers the gonads to form testes.
If no sry gene is present the baby forms ovaries. Babies are female by default, you need influences to change it to male.gonadal sex
Around the 10th week in utero the baby with the sry gene triggers the release of testosterone and amh hormones to shrivel up the ducts that were present for fallopean tubes, and the male geitalia continue to the outside phenotypical sex
and the brain is also changed to a male brain (dumb it down) gender identity

So gender isn’t as black and white like youre a boy or youre a girl.
We are all made up of dna, chromosomes and genes that make us all different. Like eye color, theres two dominant colors, but theres also green, gray, even purple but so many different shades and combinations.
If both parents have brown eyes, youre likely to have brown eyes, but you can have blue, hazel light brown.
If you have xx chromosomes, youre likely to be a girl and xy youre likely to be a boy.
But the x is much larger than the y and the y over time has gotten smaller.
Sometimes the sry gene falls off. So you have a baby that have male chromosomes since the sry gene wasn’t present the baby developed female genitalia.
Sometimes the x picks up the sry gene so chromosomally female with male genetalia.
And nobody would even know this unless you got genetically tested.
Theres cases of the androgen receptor insensitivity, where the male formed male genitalia but the hormones weren’t received so the male has a female brain
Theres klinefelters where theres an extra chromosome in the xy child-xxy boys aresmaller, less hairy but again wouldnt know
The female baby continues without any hormones until puberty
Sex differentiation is the developmental process where a single, undifferentiated embryo develops into a male or female. It involves a series of events that lead to the formation of distinct male and female characteristics in the gonads, genital tract, and external genitalia, as well as the brain and behavior. This process is largely driven by hormones and is influenced by genetic factors, particularly the presence or absence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome in males
The point I’m trying to make with this information about DNA is that there are babies born this way. Children. This is not an issue that concerns moral, government, choices or behavior. This is between a child, parents and their doctor.
So many people say there are two biological sexes. The way God created you. What would you tell the fourth grader that has XY chromosomes but was born biologically female? Or a second grader that has faulty androgen receptors and is biologically male but never received the blast of testosterones in utero and has a female brain? These are kids that already feel like their different and our president has stated they don’t belong. This may be an uncomfortable conversation but the hate for the people is unwarranted.
If you don’t understand something, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.
