In humans, those are anomalies. And just like if you have a heart condition at birth and then go on to fix it you were still born with a heart, [b]if you were born at birth XY or XX you were born male or female[/b] regardless of how long it took to confirm based on a birth defect. And if you have an extra chromosome it is the same thing, an anomoly that is not relevant to anyone other than the small subset of people effected by it. [/quote]

Is Hanne Gaby Odiele a man or a woman?[/quote]

You keep just ignoring the use of the word anomaly.[/quote]

yes, because you keep using to whenever something inconvenient to your argument comes up.   All X are Y. This X is not Y. That does not count, because its an anomaly.   You have made your argument virtually non-falsiable by calling any evidence against it an anomaly, which therefor does not count. [/quote]

I have never used the word 'all'. Using the word 'all' would in fact be factually incorrect. [/quote]

You will note in logic we say "all X are Y" or "some X are Y"

We do not say "X are Y" without a modifier, as it is ambguous, in a way that is never scientifically useful.  Its an artifact of the English language.   Usually of no particular harm in ordinary speech - but here it is hurtful to some, yet you insist on it. You may not mean to be hurtful, but I think you have argued yourself into a trap. [/quote]
