So what youre saying is, is that because theres like 200 per million babies born without legs. That means we cant classify human beings as a bipedal species?

I mean, if you ask the owner of dog if the dog is a boy or a girl… How does the owner know what to answer? Do they take the dog for an MRI? Do some blood tests? How would they know?

And why would a doctor “assign” one sex, and then change their mind two weeks later? Is this a particularly stupid doctor?

All the shit to worry about in life, and this nonsense is what people choose to focus on.

There are like 1 in 100 people born trans, a similar number born intersex. It’s as common as having green eyes or having red hair.

Regardless, I figure the scientists are probably looking at this with more detail and seriousness than either of us.

  well, thats a fucking lie.
  
  That census data came from Brighton, which last time I checked, was the LGBT capital of the UK, if not the world.
  
  Trans people account for between 0.1 and 0.6% of the population, and intersex is even less at 0.0018%.
  
  Stop getting your facts from facebook.

    Accurate statistics on the number of transgender people vary widely,[11] in part due to different definitions of what constitutes being transgender.[6] Some countries collect census data on transgender people, starting with Canada in 2021.[12][13][14][15] Generally, less than 1% of the worldwide population is transgender, with figures ranging from <0.1% to 0.6%.[16][17]
