If it was a bell graph there'd basically be a standard range occupied by cis male and cis female with some standard deviations, a lot of intersex conditions in between but most leaning heavily to one end (klinefelter's, etc.), and then a few other extreme intersex conditions beyond the generally expected limits of male and female (xxx chromosomes). Then there's gonads and stuff related to that, as well as a lot more variation for transgender ranges. And that's just with regards to genitalia. A spectrum means it starts at one point and has a continuous strand until the end of said spectrum with infinite possibilities. Sex is not a spectrum is there are are male, female, intersex. There is no such thing as 'almost biologically male.' If anything, intersex traits could be considered a genetic mutation; much like albinism (primarily due to the rarity). Klinefelter syndrome also does NOT change a person's sex. A person with Klinefelter syndrome is still biologically male. https://www.nichd.nih.gov/health/topics/klinefelter Gender, however, is a spectrum. One can have feminine traits but also masculine traits of varying (or near infinite) degrees. These traits are not based on biology but instead society. Some societies have very rigid structures of gender, while others do not. --- --- MaverickXeo --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
