In other words, these different levels don’t always sync-up. It is possible for your brain, your body, and your genetics to have different biological sexes.

All of these variations have an effect on the person’s neuropsychology and thus their experience of their sex & gender.

It’s usually found at the tip of the Y chromosome (which is why we thought sex was in chromosomes), but there are a number of variations that will change a person’s anatomical sex, neurological sex, chromosomal sex, and genetic sex.

How should you handle a situation where your friend tells you they like someone who also likes you? Should you tell them or continue as normal?

The single thing that does determine sex is the SRY gene. Its discovery in 1990 changed everything science thought it knew about sex in placental mammals.

Corollary: sex and gender in humans is actually floridly-complex and occasionally very messy.

So what happens inside “gender-affirming care” depends upon the patient’s lived experience. However, it’s been demonstrated conclusively by a century of psychiatry trying to change transgender patients’ gender identity to match their physical anatomy does not work and in most cases only worsens their mental health, especially in minors.

Do you ever feel like you are doing good, but would do better if people hadn’t blamed you or even bothered you? I have gotten lonely, but I always am up to something (creating my destiny).

This can include the SRY gene being defective, being blocked by other mutations, being on the X chromosome instead of the Y, or missing altogether.

It doesn’t have to change chromosomes, because chromosomes do not determine sex.
