I decided to Google it just to be safe
And yes he is lmao
And 5 time finalist of the Eureka Prize - which sounds impressive even if I’ve never heard of it!
Just saying the word eureka is exciting
Not if you live in north west California, then it’s just a town name.
Isn’t it latin for ‘fetch me my towel’?
According to Wikipedia
“Eureka” comes from the Ancient Greek word εὕρηκα heúrēka, meaning “I have found (it)”, which is the first person singular perfect indicative active of the verb εὑρίσκω heurískō “I find”. It is closely related to heuristic, which refers to experience-based techniques for problem-solving, learning, and discovery.
Fetch me my towel! Nvm eureka!

Sometimes people just want to believe what they believe or ignorance is bliss…
Mic drop…
I am curious about the video though
Transphobic BS I believe. But I’m not trawling through fb to find the original.
Literally Mansplaining.

Not to nitpick but to me the title of this post is implying that XXY individuals are born female. Generally they’re born male.
What the comment is referring to is likely Swyer Syndrome, where the individual has an XY configuration but a dysfunctional gene in the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome. This means the embryo develops female anatomy and the resulting children tend to identify female, but they lack functional gonadal tissue. It’s estimated to occur at a rate of about 1 in a 100,000 females.
By the by, treatment for these individuals usually involves removing the dysfunctional gonadal tissue as it often becomes cancerous (which often gets misunderstood as “gender reassignment surgery”) and supplemental hormone replacement therapy. They would be affected too by any bans on hormone administration to kids often connected with trans people. One of the reasons why blanket bans should be a no-go regardless of how you feel about any other trans issue.
Or, androgen insensitivity syndrome, specifically complete androgen insensitivity syndrome:
Androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) is a difference in sex development involving hormonal resistance due to androgen receptor dysfunction.
Complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) is an AIS condition that results in the complete inability of the cell to respond to androgens.
The unresponsiveness of the cell to the presence of androgenic hormones prevents the masculinization of male genitalia in the developing fetus, as well as the development of male secondary sexual characteristics at puberty, but does allow female genital and sexual development in those with the condition.
Individuals affected by CAIS develop a normal external female habitus, despite the presence of a Y chromosome, but internally, they will lack a uterus, and the vaginal cavity will be shallow, while the gonads, having been turned into testicles rather than ovaries in the earlier separate process also triggered by their Y chromosome, will remain undescended in the place where the ovaries would have been.
Most individuals with CAIS are raised as females.They are born phenotypically female and are usually heterosexual with a female gender identity; however, at least two case studies have reported male gender identity in individuals with CAIS.
Being a president of something doesn’t mean crap though.
It does if it’s as prestigious and well known as the International Genetics Federation.
It doesn’t. Administrative work requires different set of skills of knowledge from scientist work.
Well, he has a doctorate and has been cited over 13,000 times. So for this particular institution, it absolutely does.
So he should’ve bragged about citations. Because, once again, being a president of something doesn’t mean shit.
I’m going to make a new club right now and call it the International Institute for Genetic Study and name myself the president.
