to point out that one Y chromosome does not make you a male

[Nimbostratus100]

In response to other posts insisting that one genetic test and one Y chromosome makes an athlete indisputably male with no room for error, I just want to point out that it not true.

There is always genetic exchange, for example, between a mother and baby, so anyone who has had a son will still have Y chromosomes in some cells in their body, and that will possibly show up in a genetic screening.

I am all for keeping men out of women's sport, and defining them genetically, but please lets not go over the top - one test does not prove you are male

I've already said that I have no idea what her expertise in genetics is, if you bothered to read properly.

I've said that I know she's not a man or a school pupil, both of which have been alleged.

Geneticist. Statistician. Maths teacher. And worked with sex offenders.

It's not honest to portray yourself as a geneticist when you state that you're a statistician who worked with genetics.

And then call yourself a geneticist.

(Posted too soon)

But you said you knew her. Surely you’d know is she was a geneticist or not?

I didn't say I knew her.

Try reading properly.

Especially when it’s so easy to change MN username.

If you are going to post all sorts of contradictory claims about your career on a single website you should either expect other website users to recall your previous claims and question you about the contradictions or you should have the wherewithal to at least try and conceal your myriad of reinvented backstories!

Or posters could observe the Talk Guidelines and report inconsistencies to MNHQ.

In any case I can't comment on her career or expertise if I wanted to. As I said, I know she's not a man or a school pupil.

Surely one report is enough? You already posted that MNHQ are aware so multiple reports about the same thing will just waste staff time.

100%.

I'm sure MNHQ were the best judges of that.

Don't be so ridiculous. Nobody is "alleging" that this OP is a man or a school people. They're taking the piss out of someone making themselves look ridiculous and trying to lord it over other posters. I could give a shit what sex or age the OP is. Talking shit is talking shit.

Quite.

And if we reported every Mumsnetter who randomly talked shit we’d all have sore thumbs!

And if mumsnet deleted all those threads, there wouldn’t be many left to read some weeks. I presume that’s why they leave them up. The fantasists keep the site in business. 😬

Oh, I do beg your pardon. I must have missed that post out of the twenty pages of the thread. What a terrible person I am. 🙄

So you vouch for OP being female, but nothing else, right?

And no doubt you fully understand why posters aren’t happy to take her assertions at face value, given the glaring inconsistencies in her claimed expertise. Seeing as only a fool would do so, in the circumstances. Right?

Not quite sure why you’re getting so snippy, quite honestly, in support of someone you say you don’t know, who’s behaved like a bit of an arse on the thread.

Are you OPs cousin? 🤭

Well I suppose it’s quite unique being a geneticist mathematician statistician teacher who has worked with sex offenders. Prob discussed this polymath in the pub? Waiting for next week to find out they work for NASA and have walked in the moon

More like Mr Bean

she's not a man or a school pupil

Bit outing.

So how do you know she’s female and not a school pupil? Cos you’d have to know somebody to know that wouldn’t you?

No, you'd have to know someone who'd met her.

This is such a weird thread.

OP - microchimerism is a thing
MN scientists - yeah we know
OP - my mate had one Y chromosome in a sample and got shamed and abused
MN - really? Normally they just investigate further. Tell us more.
OP - you're all ignorant and abusive <flounces>

Oh I’d that like “you wouldn’t know her, she doesn’t go here?” 😂😂😂

The op has certainly had an eclectic career.

In the face of this insinuation that I'm a liar and digging for further details which I've declined to supply, I'm finding it difficult to remain civil.
