Why do liberals refuse to define what a woman is and what does that mean for the future of feminism?

In the absence of the SRY gene, all sexual development defaults to *female*.

So you can be XY — a chromosomal male — but have no SRY gene. You’ll have a *female body*, you’ll be chromosomally male but genetically female (because no SRY gene). And you’ll have a female brain/body map and there’s nothing in your felt-identity telling you that you’re not female.

Furthermore:

What are mean nicknames to call my sister? She is always so mean to me.

If your X chromosome has an SRY gene (due to a fault in dad’s sperm production), you’ll be physically male, chromosomally female (XX), and genetically male (SRY). And your brain/body map is likely to be *female*, in spite of having a penis.

So point to what the absolute cause of biological sex is. And you can’t.

The single thing that determines sex is the presence of a gene called SRY. Its discovery in 1990 changed everything we thought we knew about sex in humans. And we learned that the biology of sex in humans is actually multilayered, quite complex — and occasionally quite messy.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

It’s the SRY gene that is responsible for the cascade of things that begin changing what’s called the “bipotential primordium” into male reproductive anatomy and the neurology — the *brain/body map* — to run it, starting at about six weeks gestation.

Here you go:

Anatomy and even chromosomes do not define sex.

And while *gender* is a social construct, there IS a biological basis to our felt-sense of where we belong in the gender mosaic. That much is clear from neurological, epigenetic, and endocrine studies. Links to the studies upon request.

So before you hate on people for how they define themselves and wish to be known — what do you know of *your* chromosomes and genetics? One of the reasons there’s no genetic testing in elite sports is that everytime it’s tried, a few people get really upset when their actual genetics don’t match what’s on their birth cert.

All this means you may be genetically male-or-female, chromosomally male-or-female, hormonally male/female/non-binary, with cells that may or may not hear the male/female/non-binary signal of your hormones, and all this leading to a body that can be male/non-binary/female.

And that’s not even taking account of variations in *karyotype sex* such as XXY, XXXY, and XYY. (And yes, “karyotype sex” is the proper technical term for this.)

The SRY is usually found at the tip of the Y chromosome (which is why science thought chromosomes determined sex when we were kids). But it can be defective. Its action can be blocked by other genes (notably a mutation on chromosome 17 called CBX2). It can hop off the Y and settle on an X. And it can be missing altogether.

What discoveries in AI research have changed our understanding of intelligence evolution?

If you are XY with a defective SRY gene — or one that’s blocked or your tissue is insensitive to androgens, you’ll have a female body, male chromosomes, and be genetically male. In some variations you might even be able to bear children, and in others you will be infertile altogether.

So sex in humans is not *binary*. You can’t have a binary classification system if there are *any* variations, regardless of how few they may be — and the percentage of chromosomally/genetically/neurologically intersex people may be as high as 1%.

noun

And your interoception (a neuroscience term) of your sex can be different from the evidence of your physical anatomy.

So... there you are. I’ve defined “woman.”

Why is my vagina swollen, it’s very itchy. I had sex we used protection, but day after it felt like my insides had a heartbeat as well as itching, the pulsing has went away but it is still itchy and my discharge is yellow, i'm 15, what could it be?

2. an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth

You were lied-to. Liberals do not refuse to define what a woman is.
