Yep. Born with an outie? You're a boy. Innie? You're a girl. So simple even a caveman can do it.
The objective science is that human beings can be intersex, have multiple sexes, or even be non-binary. This is now fact in the study of cytogenetics.
The discovery of these chromosome variations is very new and we are the first generations of human to know about them. The only thing all of human history has ever known were male and female, so I understand why the sudden emergence of multiple (or no) genders is a weird idea to accept.
But that's how science works: it challenges our ideas with objective facts.
When a she can copulate with another she, or a he with another he and create a human being then I'll believe your bullSchiff. But, not until then...and I'm not talking about getting a male sperm from a bank or a baby from an orphanage.

I don't know these people to decide what pronoun they are. If someone says they're a "she" or "he" or "they" or "non-binary" or whatever, I'm not going to act as medical gestapo and figure out what chromosome variation they are. But people who do have the variations should have options to say they're not male or female, and if others want to identify with it too, I don't really care.
This is America after all...you have the right to pursue happiness if it doesn't infringe on my Constitutional rights.
Its my constitutional right not to accept someone's idiotic mutilation of Webster's dictionary.

Which "genetic disorder" do you mean? Klinefelter syndrome alone is 1 in 650 boys.
Who are still totally boys. Not something in-between. They just have an extra X, which may or may not cause them difficulties. But it doesn't make them girls.

"chromosome variations" is certainly not objective. That's a vague way of discussing how unusual (abnormal) levels of hormones affects those chromosomes during fetal development. Certainly there are variations, but it is not an objective fact that it is normal.
If something is caused by abnormal levels of hormones we call that pathology/pathophysiology. We certainly aren't arguing if Trisomy or Klinfelters is normal because they have an abnormal chromosome number. That doesn't mean that "variations" in normal chromosomes due to abnormal hormone levels is normal either.

Now, I personally have never run across one of these misguided confused freaks. However, if I do and it appears to be a woman, then I’ll call her female pronouns. If it seems to be male, then I’ll say male pronouns. If it’s Rachel Maddow and therefore a coin flip, I’ll just point and laugh.
