Ironic that the comedian constantly bitching about sexual and gender identity has the same name.

Even biological code can compile randomly at times!

It’s all massive spaghetti code too, including spaghetti wiring. Terrible cable management.

A giraffe has a vein or nerve that goes all the way up to its head for zero reason.

It’s incredibly inconvenient and difficult, but it wasn’t before their necks were absolutely stupid.

Your “good cable management” would be terrible for cooling. These cables are multipurpose, and their spaghetti flow is a feature.

Yeah, as I commented elsewhere, I’m damn impressed my code managed to compile and run. I guess life has a pretty fault-tolerant compiler at times, or maybe I was just super lucky to not have the errors be in spots that’d completely screw me over.

Also interesting in that regard Androgen insensitivity syndrome: Despite different root causes, it is something of the opposite of Chapelle syndrome. People who possess XY chromosomes, but possess female genitalia.

I really feel for the inevitable handful of trans men with Androgen Insensitivity syndrome. Imagine how bad it’d be if you were born with the wrong body, and couldn’t change it through hormones - it’d be an actual nightmare.

Oh look, it’s me! I found out a few years ago that I have De La Chapelle syndrome. I’m actually a trans woman though and not a guy, so I consider it a bonus rather than a downside since it made me have very little testosterone growing up.

I’m sure it’s fun when some chud says “bIoLogY iS BioLOgY” and you get to say “I actually have two X chromosomes”.

OMG yes it is - it’s especially fun to tell it to TERFs who are all “but muh chromosomes”

Yeah but having two X chromosomes makes you infertile (I actually didn’t know that, just looked it up).

So imo that’s not a strong argument since you could say well two X male is not a “healthy male”.

we don’t usually evaluate someone’s fertility as part of their gender

There are plenty of infertile XY males that nobody bothers to call fake men, I don’t see how that argument holds any water.

IMO being infertile is a plus - can’t accidentally have any kids, and can’t be coerced into doing so.

well given the amount of microplastics in balls and forever chemicals in blood, I’m not sure most people can call themselves truly “healthy”

Have you looked into whether people with the condition are more likely to be LGBT? I get the feeling like it could be linked

Last time I looked there wasn’t anything particularly associated with being queer, but the sample set of people who both have this and know that they do is pretty small so who knows! Could be, and we could just be missing the data. Or they could both be correlated with some other factor

As interesting as La Chapelle syndrome is, it kind of sucks that most people find out they have this syndrome due to the fact it causes infertility.

I found out because I was doing genetic work to test for Ehlers Danlos and I’d gotten my entire genome sequenced, so I figured I’d look for other stuff as well. I’ve suspected for a few years now that I’ve got some sort of intersex condition for a while because of very low testosterone and a weirdly fast transition, but finally got the confirmation earlier this week and wow my genetics are kinda a mess. Tbh I’m amazed that my code actually compiled XD

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
