Does anyone have any idea what this is about?

Oh dear. How profoundly dumb.

Just focusing on the medical, I’ve now met two people whose parents were given the choice of drugs to “make” their child a boy or girl. One chromosome makes the difference between a penis/clitoris

It means:

i) Sarah Champion is failing to understand that for hundreds of years, people have offered infallible methods to produce male/female children

ii) Sarah Champion's understanding of basic science is woeful and a sad reflection on modern democratic organisations.

Trousered · 14/10/2018 23:00

It is starting to become very dangerous when MPs are this stupid.

Racecardriver · 14/10/2018 23:01

What?

And more. She has a degree in psychology. I thought that included some proper science and required an understanding of statistics.

OvaHere · 14/10/2018 23:02

What the hell is happening to the intellect of people who hold MP positions? I bloody despair.

Serfisafleur · 14/10/2018 23:03

How is this person an MP? These are ppl we are supposed to trust to make policy...
You can't take any drug that will change the chromosomes of your unborn baby. ..

There IS a clinic that claims to be able to see under a microscope which sperms are XY and which are XX (XX have bigger 'heads' apparently) and can artificially inseminate you with carefully selected sperm but it's still only 70% accurate.

No drug will change the sex of a sperm or a growing or a born human.

Idiot.

Sex appears to be some sort of spectrum. She is having quite a night.

Really? I was told a high salt diet would guarantee a boy.

Scientifically proved, it was

Iused2BanOptimist · 14/10/2018 23:08

I do recall being told a story of a dodgy doctor who offered treatment to choose sex of baby and promised full refund if it failed. Of course "it worked" 50% of the time.

Might have been an apocryphal urban legend retold during a gynae lecture.

Trousered · 14/10/2018 23:10

It's a fucking wonder you can get any old people into a hospital to bed block when they are so full of thousands of suicide attempts. Honestly, how fucking gormless are these MPs.

Deliriumoftheendless · 14/10/2018 23:13

Also, if you do that thing where you hold a ring over a pregnant woman’s belly and it turns one way for girl you can push it the other way and get a boy.

I was once told if a woman doesn’t orgasm then you conceive a girl.

The sheer cognitive dissonance to be able to tweet about the importance of girls rugby

Criticise the current government's attitude towards women

And then suggest there's a chromosome difference between a penis and clitoris, so lets all say we're all on a spectrum so let's not judge.

What happened to women like Sarah? Is it some adult form of the Midwich Cuckoos?

FloralBunting · 14/10/2018 23:19

Was this choice of drugs a small bottle labelled 'Drink me'? Or a cake labelled 'Eat me'? Or was it a ruddy great big mushroom with two different magical properties either side?

I mean, as we're making shit up now in place of actual scientific medicine, I'm trying to keep the options plentiful.

Iused2BanOptimist · 14/10/2018 23:20

Mind when Charles and Di married my mother assured me The Queen would have told her how to make sure she had a boy first. All Royals know how apparently and The Queen passes on the secret!
I had heard it recommended that a certain position giving deeper penetration was advised for boys due to male sperm being poorer swimmers.
So I shut Mum up by saying "Don't be ridiculous. She won't spend her honeymoon doing it doggy style" ShockGrinGrinGrin

Thick as mince.

Trousered · 14/10/2018 23:25

She's an MP in Rotherham. Honestly, you really don't have any confidence that women and girls have got a fucking chance when this is the standard of leadership.

Clearly Queen Mary failed her in regal mother-in law duty to pass the information on to Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon.

Iused2BanOptimist · 14/10/2018 23:41

Indeed Lass. Who told the Queen I wonder?

Redshoeblueshoe · 14/10/2018 23:41

Good grief
I hadn't realised that our MP' s were so fucking stupid
