 Also, crossover events between Y chromosome and X resulting in novel recombinations are a fucking thing, as are Barr Bodies and deactivation of chromosomes. 

Dr. Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) Expertly describes chaos theory and tge unpredictability of emergent complexity in systems.

 Limited chars to 500 but I want to spell out -- hyperreductionistic tendency of a simple (Right Wing)  mind to link Gender:Sex:Identity as 1:1:1 pathway is inappropriate established BY science as early as ... insert case of congenital adrenal hyperplasia here.

Dr. Grant: "I dont know, I guess we'll just have to evolve (aka adapt)."

 @46cd5609 Honestly the thing that gets me, is why does it matter so much to them?
