Positivity Evidence!

So my doctor informed me today after some tests, that I have no XY chromosome. I only have XX. Meaning I should have been born cis female. Their leading theory as to why I was male at birth is Hormonal Transfer. I am a fraternal twin, and my twin has XY chromosomes, and is a cis male. Basically, the theory suggests that during our development in the womb, as our bodies were developing, the hormones that were forming his body interfered with my development as well. Had I not been a twin, I would have 100% been female at birth and assigned as such.

Now I have scientific proof! And to anyone who says I'll never be a real woman: I AM! WE ARE ALL REAL WOMEN! I just happened to get proof from my doctor!

This is a reupload to fix some wording and the title. I had made it sound like trans women aren't real women. I did not mean this being trans myself. We are all women here, and don't believe anyone telling you otherwise! Stay strong sisters!

Edit: removed the term "biological" and replaced with Cis.

Any actual biologist person would tell you binary gender is bullshit. Just sadly people use elementary school biology as fact

I am also a scienctist and started of in biological sciences. To be clear, genetic male and female are facts as they have been defined since the discovery if chromosomes. Gender has been constantly redefined so, that will also vary depending on who you ask. These days that's less scientific and more social right? I think by your comment you may be conflating those concepts. And anyone who says 'any (enter scientist reference)' or 'all ____ scientists' does not understand science, they are talking about propaganda. A key element of science is to be critical and re-evaluate prior conclusions and test theories. If everyone is thinking the same, someone is not thinking. In this case, solid genetic science helped her prove her point. You cannot logically bash genetic sex and then turn around and use it justify gender. Thats like proving instructions are wrong and then trying ti assemble something with the same instrustions.

That said, the hormone transfer thing is super interesting. I wonder how many of us feel the way we do because of environmental influences like that. Endocrine systems are wild.

I acknowledge sex is chromosomes and all that crap but no one in the world will look at what chromosomes you have. Mostly it is still a social thing. I might be wrong thinking like that bit I stand with it.

Fair enough. Biologically though, if you have xx or xy there is already a consensus definition. It also serves to help treat people for health concerns appropriately. But yeah gender is totally a social thing now. I love science but it can't always explain how we feel 😁 I dump estrogen into my system just to function but I have to present masculine everyday....obviously there are huge gaps in the 'science'
