Reporter to Gloria Steinem on her 40th birthday - “You don’t look 40.” Gloria – “This is what 40 looks like.
Humans have 23 pairs (46 total) of chromosomes in each cell. Gametes, the sperm and egg cells, each have 23 chromosomes. When we open a biology textbook, we see them arranged from largest to smallest pairs. One of each pair is inherited from the father and one from the mother. The functions of some genes are well-known, and some abnormalities yield predictable results. Genetic research is robust.
Chromosome 1, the largest, has 249 million base pairs and constitutes about 8% of total DNA. Chromosome 10 has more than 133 million base pairs. Chromosome 22 has about 51 million.
Chromosome X -- all of us have one from our mothers – has 155 million base pairs and makes up about 5% of DNA in the body. Females have two X chromosomes in each cell, one of which is inactivated during gestation. In some cells, the inactivated X chromosome will be the one from the father, in others the one from the mother. Interesting, isn’t it?
Chromosome Y – which only males have – has around 59 million base pairs and is responsible largely for male sex differentiation. In males, it comprises about 2% of DNA.
Our biological gender is determined at conception, depending on whether the sperm that fertilizes the egg contains an X or a Y chromosome. Everything biological about us is determined at that point, and only awaits the appropriate time to be expressed. Sexual structures in the body can be initially observed at about six weeks, with development complete at 13 weeks of gestation. Maturation of sexual characteristics is completed during puberty. We continue to change throughout our lives. Truly we are wonderfully and fearfully made.

Gloria Steinham is absolutely full of micro aggressions....or at least she was once upon a time.
Yep.
But to keep his job, and not have his life destroyed, a geneticist will need to say there are 53 different sexes.
Heh, when universities have tenured “profs” who would struggle to get above 700 total scores on the SATs we had to take, you get the laughable pseudo-academic silliness we now see.
Men are from mars, women are from venus, all other genders are straight outa youranus.
The fact that Chromosomes determine sex will never be recognized because the perverts are in control.

Besides, nearly every girl I knew growing up, including myself, was miserable at the onset of menstruation. The potential for embarrassment loomed large for years. We were used to growing, getting taller and bigger, but suddenly our breasts began to develop, and everyone could witness how we were changing. We were suddenly aware of ourselves as objects of unwanted attention, and sometimes as prey. Who wouldn't yearn to be a boy? That's because we knew nothing of how they were changing, just that their adaptation to adulthood seemed much easier.
We all want to feel beautiful, competent, liked, admired, and wanted. The desire for some conformity in the face of the massive personal changes foisted upon us during puberty is entirely normal. It's hard to mature into a self-actualized individual. These days, the drive within our society to define and divide ourselves according to the most superficial aspects of skin tone and belief systems only makes it that much harder to finish growing up.
In the final analysis, we are who and what we are. We can't do much about the basic biology we are born with, but the expression of ourselves is entirely up to us. Most of us outgrow that awkwardness of youth and learn to be comfortable in our own skin, in our lives, and in our loves. Girls need to give themselves grace and space and time to become women. And so does everyone else.
Sometimes that mean voice inside says, “You don't feel like a girl.” It's painful to have such thoughts; it hurts. When that happens we need to teach our daughters to look into the mirror, smile ironically, and announce “This is what a girl feels like.”
As a guy, we only see half of the world at hand. It is wonderful to be able to share the world with someone who sees it differently, to learn from them and become better as a result.
How silly her statement is about being miserable at the start of menses. For us it was a badge of honor! Near as I could tell. We were sort of proud to have matured.
When that happens we need to teach our daughters to look into the mirror...
you want to see a miracle? look in the mirror.
MAle is a fact.
Female is a fact.
I learned this when I was less than 1 year old.
The Left cannot ever agree that anything is biological, at least not when it comes to behavior or performance of any kind. They split gender from sex (when it suits them) to account for different body parts, but everything else MUST be due to environmental factors. This is a major part of their program, and it’s been incredibly effective.
Even many of today’s conservatives accept things on these grounds; ideas that their grandparents would have rejected even without the huge advancements made in genetic research.
Even saying that something is a combination of genetic and environmental factors (which is so obvious that it’s painful) is enough to get you cancelled.
Those that excel apply their crafts to the profit of society and the world. Those that don't, become teachers straight out of educational facilities.
Thanks for your great reply
Female is also flawed and subject to deception so that she is to be under obedience to the man and mind her role as homemaker (1 Timothy 2:11-15; 1 Corinthians 14:34).
So says the Lord.
Who cares?
This is the hour for the politically correct spirit of antichrist.
Lovers of the present age, let the flaming begin.
for postmodernist lefturd loons there is no objective truth, so subjectivism has primacy over biological sex.
Honestly, it wasn’t for me either. I wished my mother had me told about it when I had my first Mensa. I was always embarrassed
Amen! How politically incorrect that is.
It has occurred to me that in a relationship, when the man doesn’t demonstrate leadership, the woman often provides it - and since that’s not the way God intends things to be, usually imperfectly.
