Second, you’re describing real disorders of sexual development, which exist, yes. But you just proved my point again. When the visible anatomy doesn’t line up, guess what? They look at the chromosomes to figure it out. Because the blueprint doesn’t lie.

So you’re basically saying, “If a rare glitch happens, does that mean the whole blueprint is flexible?” No. A glitch doesn’t rewrite the design for the other 97%.

And tossing in “psychology” at the end doesn’t change chromosomes either. Feelings can’t swap a Y for an X.

So “to you”? Nope. It’s not to me. It’s just how DNA works.

Hope that clears up the confusion.
So existance of Y chromosome determines it for you, not what you can see externally, regardless of whether that infant looks like most babies with XX.

You keep asking the same question but skipping the answer. If the outside doesn’t match, doctors don’t just guess, they run a karyotype because chromosomes settle what the anatomy can’t.

That’s not my rule, that’s medicine. You’re proving my point every time you circle back, lol.

I’m not going to let you pretend you’re discovering new ground when you’re just going in circles.
