    External biological sex traits tend to be nearly 100% binary, but there are exceptions.

    Genetic sex varies more so, but he stereotypical binary male (XY) and female (XX) are the norm, but there are numerous exceptions that are RARE. About 1 in 400 male and 1 in 650 female live births demonstrate some form of sex chromosome abnormality. Here are some examples.
    XXY is Klinefelter Syndrome in males
    XYY Syndrome in males
    XXYY Syndrome in males
    XXX Syndrome in females
    X or X+ is Turner Syndrome in females (partial or completely missing X)
    Fragile X Syndrome (broke X Chromosome)

    These are often mutations. Mutations are often seen as bad, but in reality, many successful species are just an accumulation of mutations, most of which are beneficial, non-harmful, and/or leftover and no longer used (becomes part of junk DNA along with good DNA, basically 98% of our genetic material is not used).

    The extremely rare exception should not be taught as the rule.

    DNS,

    Would you please stop sounding all sciency and splain what all the initialisms mean?

    I'm guessing some of them provide an explanation as to why some people who're 'intersexuals' lean more toward being born more or less gay?

    Or, am I way off base?

    Thanks!

    He is referring to genetic defects.

    There are also some very rare conditions called androgen insensitivity syndrome and these are genetic male (XY) but have ALL of the physical characteristics of a female and invariably raised as a female. If they ever have genetic testing and find out that they are not what they think they are it can be disastrous. For years some beautiful Hollywood stars were rumored to be genetic men, never proven but rumored. These "women" are infertile. Now that genetic testing is so common perhaps more of these individuals are found. So, what your birth certificate says may not be what your genetics say. Men, you don't need be concerned unless you are married to one of them. No children of course.

    Wasn't that an episode of House?


    Note: I'm not going to rewatch this just to get the precise words used to name the condition so if I'm wrong, feel free to mock me unmercifully. :)

    Notice the ones with Y are still male (binary)
