So, average high school will have two individuals with XXY.XXY prevalence is estimated at 1:500
that's 0.2%
small percentage, large when extrapolated to the total population = 15,200,000 worldwide
651,400 in the states

You're out for dinner at a nice restaurant. Your elderly mother excuses herself and enters the restroom marked XX. Shortly after, she's followed by this:
Spoiler
do you react?
or, shortly after she's followed by this:
Spoiler
do you react?
up here we have school districts with graduating classes of fifteen
that's less than two hundred K-12
replace "elderly mother" with "twelve year old daughter"
do you react to either?
ok, I'd react to both wrt the second person, regardless of their chromosomal makeup
prolly follow "him" to the door and stand outside and listen
maybe talk to the management
But why not rush in?
If you think there's a danger then don't you need to address it now?
OK, now that we've solidified that we go back to the diagram.
Let's make it crystal clear to everyone what the expectation is with the rest room.
We put an XX on one door and an XY on the other door.
Simple enough yes?
Here comes the XXY, looks to me like they can use either rest room.
XX present? (checks chromosomes) YES. Enters rest room.
XY present? (checks chromosomes) YES. Enters rest room.
There's the point, and it's not even a point it's an observation of reality.
Objections? Anyone?
that's the problem - in today's society, this ("men" using women's restrooms) has become normalizedd, so the reaction my dad (and virtually any other man) would have had thirty years ago - to drag the pervert out of the women's restroom and bodily throw him out into the parking lot - is considered to be the "wrong" response. Instead, those of us who are concerned for the safety of our loved ones are expected to wait until the alarm is raised.
Thirty years ago when my cousin came out as gay his parents threw him out and disowned him.
Times change.
But back to the bathroom. What if you see someone and you're really not sure if it's a man or a woman? We've all seen these. Are you alarmed?
Whoaing.Whoa whoa whoa.
We're back.What happened to the "diagram" (Punnett Square) you were going to go back to?
I'm pointing out that the diagram is incomplete.You're jumping to your own conclusion, which isn't supported by the diagram.
They need to get their act together.That's not how Punnett squares work.
You put one chromosome (or trait) (X or Y) per row/column, not two or three. Like this:
Not correct. As Doser showed us in post #78;A mother with XX and a Father with XY have a child. There is a 50% chance that the child will be XX, a little baby girl, and a 50% chance that the child will be XY, a little baby boy. (In reality, the percentage is slightly higher that it will be a boy than a girl.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klinefelter_syndrome#VariationsIf you want to do parents with more than 2 Chromosomes (which is an abnormality) you can do larger Punnett Squares, but the results will still be children with XX or XY (as far as Punnett squares are concerned).
Klinefelter syndrome usually occurs randomly.[3] An older mother may have a slightly increased risk of a child with KS.[3] The condition is not typically inherited from one's parents.[3] The underlying mechanisms involves at least one extra X chromosome in addition to a Y chromosome such that the total chromosome number is 47 or more rather than the usual 46.[9] KS is diagnosed by the genetic test known as a karyotype.[4]
i'd probably be more alert - it would depend
and in either case, if they came out and my elderly mother/twelve year old daughter didn't, I'd probably knock on the door and call in to make sure they were ok
I agree and if I add them up and inflate it a little I'm going to say .5% including all the other survivable combinations.so what I'm getting here is that they're people with errors in their genetic code and they're not normal
i think both jr and fool would agree on that much
And there my friend, is the heart of the question.to me, the question becomes "how does society deal with the non-normal?"
They need to be viewed as human beings who didn't want or ask for any of this.to many (not saying you, fool) the insistence is that they be viewed as variants of normal and accommodated in ways that the majority finds problematic
Because of abnormalities.because of feelings, etc
So, to circle back to this;
I agree and if I add them up and inflate it a little I'm going to say .5% including all the other survivable combinations.
Like;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turner_syndrome
And there my friend, is the heart of the question.
That really is the only question that matters and is the root of everything.
"How do we treat each other?"
They need to be viewed as human beings
who didn't want or ask for any of this.
Because of abnormalities.
I don't see why that should have any bearing on your response to my question. Should only individuals with genetic anomalies (ie, XXY) be considered "transgender"?
Let's get to it now. Your conversation with JR can continue, unaffected. Should only the individuals with genetic anomalies (ie, XXY) be considered "transgender"?
Look . Some humans have been having sex with members of the same gender from the the very beginning of the human race abut 200,000 years ago.
And they always will.
Trying to legislate homosexuality out of existence is both stupid and destructive.
Homosexuality is found in hundreds of animal species.
But humans are the only species which hates others for engaging in homosexual sex.
Every day, children are born who will grow up to be gay.
Get over it and please mind your own business !
