Women don’t know they’re women unless they test their chromosomes, says Stonewall

Telegraph article freely accessible at the link. It looks like more co-opting of intersex to forge ahead with getting to the point where gender identity trumps sex.

From the article:

"The session began by setting out the definition for intersex people, who fall outside societal expectations of the male-female binary. Staff were told: “Most people do not have their chromosomes tested, so many of us don’t actually know what they are.”
It is widely understood that for the vast majority, males have XY chromosomes and females XX, a biological process of DNA in egg cells when fertilisation occurs, however, some intersex people can rarely have a mixture.
A source who attended the session, titled “First steps to LGBTQ+ inclusion”, said it was also discussed how intersex people, who form less than two per cent of the population, may have both sets of genitals. The session materials referred to “sex assigned at birth”, rather than birth sex."

And more on the silencing of those who understand and apply the real law:

"an HR worker at Bristol, told The Telegraph she had to write a letter of apology after trans activists on a staff equality committee walked out last year over her defence of the word “maternity” in university policies.
While the word ultimately stayed, she said she was subject to a three-month informal probe when staff complained about the “problematic” and “exclusionary” term and said she had been offensive by stating only biological women can give birth.
“There is a culture of fear on campus. Female professor friends and I are scared to even talk about women’s rights in public spaces near the university,” she said. “We speak in hushed tones looking over our shoulders.”"

It was a PBP, previously banned poster. And it might have been a group effort from what we can work out. The rapid fire responses are a giveaway pattern.

I see.
Reading back my (annoyed) post it was a response and reaction to so many threads just being "poofed" and disappearing. It's hard to know what we are permitted to discuss sometimes.
Thanks for the info.

Anyone who’s a (bio) parent can be pretty fucking sure they are right about which sex they are. And that’s a fair chunk of the population.

My chromosomes were known before I was even born, I guess my sex was 'assigned' in utero Hmm

Far right and far left groups can go so far that they end in a circle and become much the same.

Yes! I have thought this for years…that the political spectrum is actually a ring. Fascism, totalitarianism, censorship, human rights violations…all happen under far left AND far right.

“Most people do not have their chromosomes tested, so many of us don’t actually know what they are.”

Interesting, because might actually have Elf DNA. It would explain my pointy ears and youthful good looks.

I remember hearing that the Tavistock gender clinic used to test all their patients for chromosomal differences but they abandoned the practice because it never showed up anything unexpected.

Sibling was definitely chromosome tested (not at tavi). It didn't show anything unexpected. Neither did the brain scan nor any other test

Pretty sure they've never been screened for ADHD and autism mind. Which as time goes on and it becomes clearer there is a definite family history, seems a pretty huge oversight... Which actually my parents are slowing beginning to have something of an epiphany over for various different reasons.
