If you have a one y and one x chromosome, you are a man.

What if you have 3 chromosomes?

I don't, but I'm curious how your absolutes play against reality.

My absolutes?

If you have 3 chromosomes, then you have a genetic disease, man.

With XXX, yes, the baby will be jacked up. XXY is not great, but not really terrible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome

However, XYY is usually unaware of it - completely normal.

You can't take a genetic deformity and then pretend like that is the same thing as normal sex in the human species. This is fucking dumb.

Too true.

Sad!

Neither can you take an absolute statement like "

If you have a one y and one x chromosome, you are a man.

" and pretend that it applies absolutely to all humans. This is usually what we end up arguing about. You start trying to draw absolute conclusions about humanity, people poke a bunch of holes in it, you double-down into a shell of crazy, hoping that we'll all break ourselves against your wall of faith.

But . . . aren't all humans with "one y and one x chromosome" male?
Seens accurate to me.

It is accurate, but does not cover all possibilities - a whole lot of human problems comes when these absolutes are accepted or demanded across the board. We see it in this board every day.

What can a human with one x and one y chromosome be, if not male? What other possibility is left out of this definition of "male human"?

None. But, using that statement as a blanket coverage for all "gender confusion" would be fallacious.

Obviously, I'm not really talking about this particular point, but using it as an example of how absolutes are misleading and almost always useless.

Thomas Sowell would've gotten this right.
