Some Additional Info: In this episode, we mentioned that those with XXX chromosomes sometimes have minor learning disorders, and that those with Turner syndrome may have mental disabilities. Everyone experiences these things differently, so these symptoms don't apply in all cases! But as for why they sometimes happen? Well, scientists aren't actually sure, and any ideas they do have are extremely complicated. Hopefully we'll know more soon!

David Renton being a chimera is not synonymous with intersex; many, perhaps most go their entire lives without knowing they are such. There was a case of a woman who was right and was having her children removed from her because her DNA did not match with theirs. It turned out she was a chimera and further testing did find she had another set of DNA that matched her children.

Let me be clear, I am not disagreeing with you. But this way of thinking is a modern product. To the people 30+ years ago who had limited knowledge of this and were likely unaware that it was fairly common, surgery was the humane and logical thing to do. They didn’t consider the (at the time) unlikely possibility that this would cause dysphoria. Take polydactyls for example, an extra finger could be an issue. It may not be functional or could be difficult to treat in the future. So a lot of times extra fingers or limbs are removed. For them, it was the same line of thinking. If everyone* (as they would have thought) has “normal” genitals and they look a certain way, then a misformarion of them could cause issues. Or rather than being a sign of not fitting into one of 2 genders, it could have been seen as a simple defect at birth. So until we learned more, surgical correction was considered necessary and humane.

As a genetic scientist, the science on this video is very much correct. My only criticism is the fact that all the variations in chromosomal sex mentioned in this video are all considered to be abnormalities. And unfortunately, the vast majority of the conditions mentioned all lead to infertility in the individuals with these genetic conditions. The reason that they are considered to be abnormalities is simply due to the fact that if sex really was just a spectrum then imagine what a nightmare the human race would face in order to reproduce with the sheer number of different sexes that could be possible. Thankfully, sex for the vast majority of human beings is binary and it’s the only reason every single one of us in this comment section is here today. I am in no was dismissing any of the points made in this video however it is very important that people understand the facts of chromosomal sex.

Leah Christian I was going to say, this video is true to a degree but it also isn’t. Intersex people obviously exist, but that doesn’t necessarily mean human sex runs as a spectrum because those conditions are genetic malfunctions that can result in a whole range of lifelong health concerns and often sterility. They aren’t usually passed down to offspring as far as I’m aware. Not to mention, intersex people can still be biologically sexed as male or female when taking into account a range of other physiological factors present at birth, but with chromosomal and developmental defects complicating a clearer distinction.

@@shrryph I've been arguing points with a lot of people on this subject and someone brought up an interesting concept. One does not have to healthy to have a legitimate sex, and even though there are a small amount of people in the middle, It can still be defined as a spectrum. So If we wanted we could call gender a spectrum, Put XY on one end, and XX on the other, then all the unhealthy partial sexes can be placed in the middle. My only problem with this is, how do you measure how much male to female ratio someone has? Is a baby born and the doctor goes. (Well this one would be male, but it has two X chromosomes and a Y, We would place him at a ratio of 2 female to 8 male, but it also has no male sex organs, and a half formed womb. We would define this as a ratio of 4 female to 6 male... the body will probably try to reject the womb later in life. So we could try faking it out and make it a 3 to 7 ratio.) Basically I thjnk that the definitions get way too overly complicated If you try to add an in between section. I think that people should be defined as Male, Female. (Or in a very extreme case, Neither) Just because the implementation of a sexual spectrum seems to me to be way overly complex.

Regarding the modification of infants with DSDs.... My mother was the medical assistant for a urologist for 15 years, in California's Central Valley during the 90s and early 00s. DSDs were not uncommon among farm workers, thanks to tremendous pressure for pregnant women to continue working despite the risks that agricultural chemicals posed to developing fetuses. Typically, an infant with ambiguous genitalia would be assigned female and "reconstructed" to conform to that assignment, for the simple reason that that it was easier to create something that looked like a vagina than it was to create something that looked like a penis. This caused tremendous trauma and dysphoria in many of the people who had been subjected to this, and my mom's doctor made it his specialty to reverse these surgeries in people who wanted it reversed. (He flat out refused to do such "reconstruction" on infants or children.) He has since retired from practice, but I understand that more and more doctors are likewise refusing to do them.

I'm pretty sure it's stories like these that fuel that part of the media that is fearmongering that parents and doctors are allowing or forcing children to have sex changes. The lack of education in this area is creating a violent atmosphere for those in the transgender community, and that portion of the media that defends them seldom bothers to educate, instead choosing to simply refute that anything of the sort is happening. While it is true that nothing like this is happening for the reasons stated, I think it would be better to point out where these misconceptions come from. It is certainly frustrating watching this play out in the media, knowing full well the whole argument could be shut down with nothing more than the simple (well... complicated, really) truth. It's as though both sides aren't really standing for anything at all, save the perpetuation of what I know to be a non-story, at the peril of the transgender community, doctors, and parents with such affected children.

At a kennel I worked at, there was a dog with DSD. The dog appeared male, but when the owners tried to neuter the dog, the vet realized the second testicle was inside. So the vet opened the dog’s abdomen and found the second testicle - as well as ovaries. The owners had already named the dog “Caleb” so they just went on with that and called the dog “him”, but since dogs don’t have a concept of gender for Caleb to identify with, there wasn’t really anything to say definitively whether he would be considered a male dog or a female dog. So me and the other kennel workers liked to call him our “non-binary doggo” lol

Which was stupid and impossible because the complete lack of breasts or any sign of female puberty and the short stature would have given it away long ago. Complete androgen insensitivity is the same as turner’s syndrome in effect. It’s also something a trained eye can see, and you’re not going to be a model with the condition because it makes you look odd (and be short). They tried to play partial androgen insensitivity got points (height), but it would have been discovered long before, too.

They finally talked about Turner’s. I have that. I am phenotypically female and biologically as well by default, since I don’t have the SRY gene. Since I don’t have the double dose of some of the female reproductive genes, those parts are underdeveloped or missing. I do have a vagina and uterus, but they couldn’t find my ovaries. And, even if I did have them they will most likely be hard and fibrous with little to no eggs. So, to keep up my female parts, I take a hormone patch and I had to take growth hormone shots. There is a gene on the X that needs two copies, so people with Turners are short. The good thing is it doesn’t affect my general intelligence, and actually helps it in some ways. Girls with Turner’s normally have a similar cognitive profile to those with Nonverbal Learning Disorder. This means there is a noticeable split between verbal and nonverbal IQ. So, I have a wide vocabulary, retain information well, and can read on a high level, but I have trouble with visiospatial things, understanding body language and sarcasm, and with directions. It does sadden me that it will be pretty much impossible for me to have biological kids without divine intervention, but there are plenty of kids who need moms and dads that are in foster care now. Though Turners can be tough to have at times, I trust this is how God wanted it and is part of my divinely ordained purpose and plan.

Many many people have differences in anatomy, and most never even know about it. I had several abdominal surgeries back before they learned to do it less invasively with a scope, so while my stomach was stretched wide open with instruments so that the doctors could do surgery, they had to have noticed that I had more than one item where only 1 belonged, but it was never told to me. The knew it would likely never affect me, so they decided not to bother telling me. I don't mind because it never became important. Much later an ultrasound technician told me. There is an almost infinite list of possible differences people can have, some are obvious from birth, some only show up later and cause problems, and some are only found in an autopsy. The idea that so many people were (and some still are) made to be so traumatized is a horrible shame! Some people want to think that if others don't fit their narrow idea of "normal" the person or people are not ok. That is SO WRONG! All people are deserving of an equal amount of love and caring, no matter what their anatomy is, or sexual persuasion, or what gender they identify with the most, if any. This video is by far the best explanation of these issues I have ever seen. It should be shown in every school, once in maybe grade six (Yes 11 year olds are able to comprehend a lot of it), and again in grade ten or twelve. It should also be available in every school library. There are SO MANY things that are SO IMPORTANT, but are left out of the kids' Sex Education Program. That greatly harms them, and us all. Openness and honesty are what's needed, and no school should be able to opt out, nor should parents be allowed to opt their kids out, and all home schooling should be required to show this at those 2 levels too. There are several other Sex Ed subjects that are also not touched on, or not covered well enough, and need to be covered much better. Otherwise they learn a bunch of falsehoods from each other, and that is very harmful. I highly recommend all parents of teenagers to make sure their kids see this.

They have two or are an abnormal outlier with a problem that if we can address it to help them we should. If they don't want it addressed then fair enough, that's their choice. Just becase someone chooses not to address something as a problem it doesn't mean it's not a problem. If you had a haemorroid that you decided not to see a doctor about or get removed then it doesn't mean that the haemorroid is not a problem it just means you are exercising your right not to address your own problem.

And this is why you need to have some basic critical thinking skills because what he said was a lot of nothing. The title claims that there are more than two sexes when in reality, he neither defined sexes correctly nor did he show any example of more than two sexes. All he showed were mutations that caused SOME people to have BOTH female and male characteristics but at the end of the day, we are still able to put them, consistently, in two binaries. Yeah, sure, chromosome number variations have shown that sexes aren't seperated by just a simple X-Y division, but that was expected considering the fact that chromosomes are not the basic level of genes, they are basically just large groups of certain genes. So it shouldn't be a surprise that what matters are the individual genes, not JUST how the gene structures look. Also, X-Y Chromosomes were differentiated based on mere appearance only. So that was also another red flag. At the end of the day, he has not shown the existence of any third sex, there isn't anyone who can reproduce with themselves. At worst, there are infertile people with huge health issues caused by genetic mutations, just like down syndrome. They aren't different sexes but deviations/dis-orders from their ordered sex.

Damn bro i bet u feel real smart. Who gaf. 2% of the population won't dissappear because of one gene being a certain way. Still 160 million people that disprove the idea of there only being 2 sexes

When I was in middle school, I was friends with someone who was intersex. She identified as a girl, and she had a somewhat masculine voice. A lot of kids bullied her, and it pissed me off because she was such a sweet girl. If they took the time to get to know her, they'd see how cool she was. She explained to me what it was like to be intersex (she had both male and female parts) and I thought it was actually pretty interesting. I'd never heard of that before.

Applying a more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%. Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. How common is intersex? a response to Anne Fausto-Sterling Leonard Sax. J Sex Res. 2002 Aug.

That would be the difference between "it's zero point lots of zeros whatever" and "it's actually about 2%." Most people with phenotypic sex anomalies never know they have these anomalies. With the increasing number of people never attempting to produce children, the number of undetected cases is likely to rise, not fall.

Someone needs to tell the British Prime minister that. Saying trans are not allowed to be in the female wards in our NHS hospitals and there is only male and female… and refusing to acknowledge other sex's/genders, so forth. It actually has me really shocked to hear someone say thing's like that.

Yeah there are a few genetic abnormalities like Klinefelters, super females (XXX), super males (XYY), and etc. This is mostly due to non-disjunction during meiosis, meaning that chromosomes fail to separate when gametes are formed leaving more than one sex determining chromosomes in the sperm or egg. So instead of two sex determining chromosomes, one from each parent, you might get 3.

Also one of the DSD's you listed somewhat describes me to some extent but minus the extra T production but I did lose 1 T factory, really wish I would have lost both. Also when I got my hormone levels checked to get put on HRT my estrogen was REALLY high for someone who is AMAB and my T was predictiably low because of what had happened to me, they both were about the same and I kinda always presented a bit androgonis to the point when I came out to my long time friends a lot of them said they already knew, and so did some of my family. But I have always had some secondary traits of both male and female, I just wish it was all fem and not masc.

My mother was extremely masculine. From having a very deep voice, to a full beard, was 6 feet tall and much bigger boned that most women. When I was 28 she told my sister and I that she was never supposed to have children and that we were the miracle that made her a woman. (We are twins) She had surgery at 24 years old because she tried to kill herself over her “differences”. She said her hormones tested her as male, she had most female sex organs but very male traits otherwise and a very long clitoris. There wasn’t enough known then so this answers a lot for me now. She also had learning disabilities and epilepsy. The only thing is she was also hit by a car when she was 5. This is the first time I’ve heard of some forms of intersex causing learning disabilities. I always felt it was more than just her accident. She also thought about sex and relationships more like a man. I was embarrassed as a kid because other kids would ask me if that was my mom or my dad. Im grateful she told me the truth and I feel lucky to have had a mother that was intersex.
