Your bolded statement is out-of-date.  Making sexual determination at the chromosomal level is extremely crude.  Modern science has moved beyond chromosones to much more discrete determinations.

Once upon a time (e.g. for Neanderthals) sex/gender was determined by looking at sexual reproductive organs. Then as knowledge was acquired, societies all across the globe abandoned "P fixation" and recognized that there were these little components of each human cell called chromosomes, and that they came in X and Y form, with females having two X chromosomes and males having one X and one Y.  To torture the "P fixation" metaphor, we had progressed to a binary "chromosome fixation."  Then as more knowledge was acquired, the globe recognized that approximately 1% of the babies born were not strictly binary.  As a result the "chromosome fixation" was modified to accommodate that 1%, although there were many people across the globe who saw intersex (as you called them) humans as an abomination.  Some even advocated stoning them to death.  Then as more knowledge was acquired, most notably the ability to use computers to sequence genetic material biological/medical science found that X and Y were not in fact binary.

So, your statement would be correct in (let's say) 1930, but it is no longer correct today.  Bottom-line, your statement is living in the past.

NOTE: feelings can not be genetically sequenced.

Modern science has not moved beyond chromosomes...

X and Y are binary.  What's not binary, due to technicality, is XY vs. XX, as there are certain extremely rare chromosome anomalies with other combinations.  The presence vs. absence of a Y chromosome, however, is entirely binary.  AIS is the one exception, but that is beyond the scope of this.

The human body makes its sexual determination at the chromosome level, so I suppose that is crude.  I'm not going to comment on gender identity, which is a different issue.

 

 

As long as Sirianni doesn't wear any Reagor gear, we're good.

I’m looking forward to dick Vermeil’s speech in a couple of hours at the hall of fame. Seems like it’ll be a short and sweet induction this year and it’s on at 12pm ET which is handy for those of us across the pond.

Davis has been wrecking the interior of our line, which is a great sign since it is likely the best iol he faces all season. And he gets Vaitai week 1.

I like him but he has to be the Nasty Nate front runner no?

Him getting reps with the 1s does make me raise an eyebrow. Maybe they see something they like

Gotta find out if he can contribute as more than just a PR.

I was arguing that he's my front runner for the 6th WR kept, BUT it does seem as if they're making an effort to give a lot of the young guys some runs with the 1s so hard to tell.

I'll have my eye on him for PS games, but I still find it hard to believe a dude smaller than Pumphrey will be able to play WR

He makes Hunter Renfrow look like DK Metcalf. And he’s already 25, so he’s likely near his max frame. 

I guess practice is over? Everyone just gave up tweeting

Winning teams need a token white slot WR.  Enter Covey. Duh

I forgot that part of the equation *smacks forehead* it makes sense now!

It would be shocking if they kept Covey over Reagor.  But... I think that would be a really interesting and exciting proposition.  Covey has shake and speed that Reagor was supposed to have when he came out, then the Combine happened... and he's never recaptured that same allure.
