Not sure just how common chromosomal aberrations are (I suspect very rare).

Usually people have XX or XY gender chromosomes. An XX is a female, an XY is a male. The gender chromosomes that determine one's gender come from the father - the mother will always pass on an X chromosome while the father may pass on an X or a Y.

I remember many years ago when I was studying human biology it was known that there were a few non-standard combinations that occasionally appeared. From what I recall (and it was 25-odd years ago, so don't ask for sources!) XXY was considered to be the most common "non-standard" combination while XXXY and XYY were also known.


It's always hard to know when to add a new option to something where the proportion of people expected to use the new option is very small but depending on the application it may be that something more than "male" or "female" is required. For the sake of example, if you're dealing with someone who is physically male but identifies as female it's one thing to discuss which bathroom they should use but another thing entirely to discuss who they should share a university room with. A man might be uncomfortable sharing living space with someone who identifies as female, while a woman might be uncomfortable sharing living space with someone who is physically male.

Probably...I mean once we begin to recognize that gender and sexuality are not as simple as males and females in heterosexual relationships, then bestiality naturally follows. :huh:

Probably in a race with the USA for this. The Supreme Court opened the door wide for anything that someone has the time and money to fight for

I think his remark was intended to be sarcastic.

Obviously human sexual attractions for other humans is not the same thing as bestiality.

SO silly, so stupid.

no need to hold my breath haha.. it is written

-" Now Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men also, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of His saints, to execute judgment on all, to convict all who are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have committed in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.”
These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage................" Jude ch1.
