Hi
I've lurked on Mumsnet for years and recently gravitated towards the feminist boards as it seemed to be only place where I found people with 'common sense' views.
You all seem to be very educated here so was wondering if someone could help explain to me what my daughter is currently being taught at uni.
She is studying psychology an is doing a biology module as part of it where she has been taught there are 8 different types of chromosome sex.
I was under the impression that xx = female and xy = male that there were rare instances of hermaphrodites and I was vaguely aware of xyy and xyyy which were still male but linked to violent offenders.
Does anybody know what this is and can explain it at a level that somebody with only secondary school science can understand and what the bloody hell it has to do with trans?
Thank you
