Better yet, how come we men are capable of showing our nipples in public without drawing a whole lot of attention but if a women do it, they'd get hit with dirty looks and perhaps a ticket?....:Ptocool340
I spent 2-3 minutes reading Garfield from your sig :p.
And yes! If we can go topless in public, woman should be aloud to go topless too! Gives me extra incentive to go to the beach.
Actually sex is determined by the release of hormones at a specific point in development. During the first few weeks fetus are sexless. Then in the presence of a large amount of testosterone the fetus begins to masculinate. Without it the embro will develop into a girl. Now normally the Y-chromosome will give the instructions to start manufacturing testosterone during this period. However there are rare cases where it malfunctions, resulting in a hermaphrodite or, even more rarely, an XY girl. it is also possible for an X chromosome to malfunction and start producing too much testosterone. No, this is completely wrong, an egg carries an x chromosome and a sperm can, 50/50 carry a y or x chromosome, if the fetus ends up with two x's it become a girl if it has an x and y it becomes males.[QUOTE="ThePlothole"][QUOTE="CaveJohnson1"]
It's a vestigial structure, or a structural flaw left over from evolution.
From people saying you change sex in the womb, that isn't true, sex is genetically based, it does not change. Sex is determined by the presence of the x or y chromosome in the sperm, and sex is determined at conception when a sperm fuses with the egg.

No, I'm sorry, you're in fact wrong, and Plothole is correct. Your genes are determined, but expression of the 'y' chromosome is started late, and can fail or partially express. You're genetically male, but due to the failed expression, you can end up physically 100% feminine. As your silly little link shows, there's a split, where the 'y' expresses, it can fail at the split, only 1 'x' chromosome is required to produce a female, the second one is just set aside for use only to increase genetic diversity in reproduction.Also your if it has 2 x's it's female and if x and y is male, then what about x-, xxy, yy, xyy? There are all types of genetic flaws that can occur.
With your little diagram, it should read a flat line for female, with a branch for male, to help make it clear that it's expressing the 'x' chromosome during that time, and that the 'y' is much later.
The 'y' chromosome only has 22,761,097 determined base pairs and is the smallest chromosome
The 'x' chromosome has 147,686,664, it is obviously full of more tasks and is ~average in size.

First of all, you need two x chromosomes to produce a female, 1 x and no y produces little more than a dead fetus. I don't know where you've gotten your information, but it's completely wrong. Sex is determined by either an xx pairing or an xy pairing, the first x is set as an x no matter what, the second "letter" is 50/50 x or y and is determined by the sperms sex chromosome. Seriously, this is basic high school science.and if you wanna make up ur own theories, that's fine, but I'd rather you don't confuse others on here.The bolded has nothing to do with what I was saying I don't know how rattling off irrelivent info helps your case, but copy/pasting things off of wiki doesn't help what you're saying if it has nothing to do with my point.

Your sex is determined as soon as the sperm gamete inseminates the ova gamete. Hormones influence certain sexual characteristics after sex is determined.No, I'm sorry, you're in fact wrong, and Plothole is correct.

I suggest you look up "Turner Syndrome". It is the result of a girl being born with only one X chromosome.
High school science often offers a oversimplified explanation.

You're clearly wrong. I don't know why you're arguing at this point.
It would be more accurate to say we are physically genderless for the first few weeks of life. We start out with primitive and indistinct organs, which later differentiate into into either female or male organs.[QUOTE="hakanakumono"][QUOTE="CaveJohnson1"]no
