Actually, she’s wrong. We’re a birth defect. All fetuses (fetusi?) start out female. The fetus with a damaged chromosome (the “Y” chromosome) becomes male due to a massive hormone imbalance... So we’re victims and need special protection under the law. For instance, men should be allowed to park in handicapped parking... (/humor)

actually that is a common misperception. we all start out undifferentiated.

not female. If you stop the development process then you have a genderless baby other than by looking at the chromosomes.

it is a common mistake pushed by pop culture science.

by that logic since all fetuses are little blobs at the start of life, then all fetuses start as dolphins, dogs, cats, or any other pc creature de jour.
