    I was unaware that an X chromosome could mutate into a Y and vice versa over the course of a lifetime. Do we know what causes that?

      They are not saying that the X chromosome mutates to Y, but rather saying that XY doesn’t define the sex. For example, some people with XY are born with female genitalia and look female their whole lives. Sometimes they don’t find out they are XY until trying to have kids and are unable to. It isn’t like the X changes to Y over time. That isn’t possible.

          It’s weird how your first thought is “the PhD is wrong” and not “I must have misunderstood something” .

            “I must have misunderstood something” .

            There was a reason I made that comment

            Though I disagree with the conservative genitalia = gender ideology

                Or the thought the phd must have meant something else

                But sure the phd is wrong if he meant that; just like those anti-vax doctors and anti-abortion doctors

                  It’s crazy how you’re still insisting that “the PhD is wrong if he meant that”’ rather than figure out that no, what you think they meant is not what they meant, it is not what they said, you are the one misunderstanding what they said. It has to be the PhD’s fault, certainly not yours.

                    It’s crazy that you think me saying “if they meant that they are wrong” means I am not open for further clarification

          I think you may have misread. The PHD isn’t saying that XY becomes XX, they are saying, genetically, a person carrying XY can be a cis woman. Biologically, XY doesn’t determine the sex.
