Then... it was found that fully 1 in 300 men weren't 46,XY. Some women were. Oops. After DNA was discovered in the 50s, it was found that the SrY gene, usually found on the Y chromosome, sometimes was missing. And sometimes had been translocated to another chromosome, hence 46,XX men and 46,XY women

The thing about not working in close proximity to ..say.. tech leaders (as an example) is one may presume they had some basic measure of competence, judgment and/or maturity to get to their level of success.
And yet … serious times demand serious people.

I’ve lost respect for establishment Dems since the election, up to the highest offices in the land.
I’m extremely unimpressed with people who don’t fight for themselves or the most voiceless among us.
If they won’t bother to defend themselves, why would I?
They’re too comfortable. Elites indeed.

🇸🇾👀 Syrian rebels have entered Assad's palace in Damascus. What Russia has been building in this country for almost 10 years has been destroyed.
‼️ This morning, the rebels announced the beginning of a new era. People in Syria are celebrating in the streets.
