The Science of Genetic Sex

So, genetics are, like… legit complicated. I get that. You get that. And yet I can’t help but feel like 50% of all transphobic arguments start with “yer either XX or XY” which would be fair enough if we were all still studying Punnett squares in 7th grade and not, you know, legislating where people can pee. Turns out a middle school understanding of ‘biological sex’ is a fair bit rudimentary so we brought in a (student) expert to (student) teach us what the hell is going on between our chromosomes and legs, to take your calls and questions and to finally answer the question “Who should be allowed to pee in here?” Student Doctor Ben joins Nate and I on SecX this week, catch the episode live 1/27 7p CT and be sure to check back here afterwards for some footNOTES!
