[quote=Anonymous][quote]We are learning that biology isn’t really binary. There are people who are X, XX, XXX, XY, XXY and probably more. So while I personally get frustrated with the drama surrounding announcements like this, it is true that there are many of us walking around who simply are not binary XX and XY and that has to have its effects on the individuals who are different.

The greater DNA testing grows, the more we learn that we almost all have genetic and chromosomal variations of all sorts that affect us on a spectrum.[/quote]

+1, but I would add that we're only beginning to understand not only genetic and chromosomal variations, but also hormonal variations. There is so. so. much. that we don't know about how the particular wash of hormones a fetus is exposed to can impact sex and gender identity.

There are also a ton of "correlations" that have not been fully explored, like why there seem to be a lot of FAAB individuals who are both trans and have PCOS, or why there are more trans Aspies than cis Aspies.

It's not simple, and there are still a lot of unknowns. [/quote]
