⚠️ radfem psa 🚨: femaleness is classified by more than just karyotypes.
so, i see a lot of people on radblr classifying femaleness solely by karyotypes (XX or XY chromosomes), and i understand why. we’re often told by gender ideologues that we are “obsessed with chromosomes,” that sex is actually a “spectrum,” and that to classify a woman as a female is to “reduce women down to our genitalia,” and that this is a bad thing. so of course, we’d want to find something other than reproductive organs to classify femaleness by, and the karyotypical dichotomy is an easy way to fit their moving goalpost, right?
the problem with using karyotypes as a way of classifying sex is that chromosomes are… er… wonky. while they’re typically reliable for a large percent of the population, people with rare conditions know that “typically” doesn’t mean always, and this pokes a hole in the radical feminist argument that gender ideologues have been sticking their fingers into to call radical feminism “ableist” for DECADES.
it’s time to fill this hole in our argument, be more inclusive to intersex women, and strengthen our feminism all at once. it’s time to make a more all-inclusive definition femaleness. but to explain how we can do this, let’s get ourselves familiar with the human (and most other mammals) sex-determination system.
the XY sex-determination system is the sex determination system that humans and most other mammals typically use for genetic sex differentiation. this produces our beloved, simplified dichotomy: XX = female, XY = male. this is, mostly, how the public has come to know sex to work, so i don’t blame radfems for saying what you do about XX chromosomes. however, this is the source of the hole in our argument for gender abolition and sex recognition, mainly because nature does not (and never will) truly care about simplicity.
maleness as we know it (testicles, penis, male puberty, etc) is mainly determined by the presence and full functionality of a sole specific gene on the Y chromosome, that gene being the SRY gene. the functional SRY gene is the determining factor in whether several other genes can facilitate male gonadal (testicular) development.
if a karyotypically male (XY) person has any* defective proteins within this gene that would cause progressive primordial germ cell loss (such as a mutation in the SF1 factor, WT1 protein, or an extra copy of the DAX1 male development antagonist, just to name a few), or any of the genes that SRY upregulates (such as the SOX9 gene) are in any way defective, or their Y chromosome lacks this gene completely, this person (chromosomes still intact) will still develop into a female, a process known as XY gonadal dysgenesis. this is a condition known as Swyer Syndrome, and it affects ~100,000 people worldwide.
this population is small compared to the general population— but these are females. they have mostly functional female reproductive structures (vulvas, vaginas, uteri, fallopian tubes, etc.), but their ovaries are often underdeveloped, and contain little gonadal tissue. these are called “streak gonads,” [pictured below] and people with them are at a MUCH higher risk of developing gonadoblastoma, a type of cancer that is so small and hard to detect, that they often remove these in infancy.
people with Swyer Syndrome cannot go through puberty unassisted, as their body does not develop adequate levels of estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone to invoke any type of puberty. they’re often infertile (but can have children via egg donation and IVF, as they have functional wombs), have low bone density, and often don’t find out about their condition until puberty. they are assigned female, look female, are raised female, and are female, despite their chromosomes.
they face sex-based oppression, as well. because they have female bodies, they have the same under-researched, misunderstood, demonized sex organs and characteristics all females do, PLUS face the additional oppressions faced by disabled women of all conditions, especially disabled women with rare or under-researched disorders. there has been one successful Swyer syndrome pregnancy without reproductive assistance, which means that there have likely been countless unsuccessful ones— which means they are absolutely affected by female reproductive issues, and deserve to be acknowledged in our feminism when we talk about these things.
Swyer syndrome isn’t the only condition that would cause a biological female to have incongruent (non-XX) chromosomes. other syndromes causing chromosomal karyotypes other than XX include:
Turner Syndrome, X0 [affects ~780,000 globally]: caused by a single X chromosome, 45,X0/46,XX mosaicism, or a small piece of the Y chromosome in what should be an X chromosome. causes a variety of health issues.
Trisomy X, XXX [affects ~4,000,000 globally]: causes a female to have an extra X chromosome. fewer than 10% of those with the condition know they have it. causes a tall stature, skeletal abnormalities, and minor neurological difficulties.
Tetrasomy & Pentasomy X, XXXX/XXXXX [affects a combined ~123,800 globally]: causes a female to have two/three extra X chromosomes. both cause a variety of symptoms, and are rare enough to be put together for this point.
when we talk about a typical female karyotype being the only factor in what makes someone a female (even in jokes, such as “XYs dni”), we exclude all of these FEMALE people (AND MORE) from this definition. not only that, but we include karyotypically female anatomical males (such as those with De La Chapelle Syndrome) in our definition of female. and when we’re up against a culture of gender ideologues with two sides— one where inclusivity is the deciding factor in truth (TRAs), and the other where inclusivity for females is laughable and proof of natural female subordination (traditional gender ideologues), it is vitally (and arguably fatally) important as gender abolitionist feminists for our definition of “female” to include some of the most vulnerable and underrepresented among us, including disabled and intersex women.
so how do we include all females in our definition of female, without sacrificing simplicity? well… it may not be quite as simple, but i think there is a solution.
see, a typical anatomical female produces larger gametes (ovum, or egg cells) than an anatomical male’s (sperm cells). now, we know some anatomical females don’t produce ovum, but nearly 100% of anatomical females’ bodies are developed towards the production of ovum.
“During sexual reproduction, each parent animal must form specialized cells known as gametes...In virtually all animals that reproduce sexually, the gametes occur in two morphologically distinct forms corresponding to male and female. These distinctions in form and structure are related to the specific functions of each gamete. The differences become apparent during the latter stages of spermatogenesis (for male gametes) and oogenesis (for female gametes)....After oogenetic meiosis, the morphological transformation of the female gamete generally includes development of a large oocyte that does not move around....The ambiguous term "egg" is often applied to oocytes and other fertilizable stages of female gametes....Spermatogenesis and oogenesis most often occur in different individual animals known as males and females respectively.” -Grzimek’s Animal Life Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition, Vol. 1, Pg. 16-17
so… bodily development towards the production of ova would be the defining factor in femaleness, would it not?
so we have our answer:
a female is an organism who’s sexual development is naturally fashioned toward the production of ova, the larger gamete of the two possible gametes produced. whether or not she is truly capable of this is irrelevant. females typically have XX chromosomes, but this is not always the case, and females with other chromosomal makeups are still female, so long as they are naturally developed toward producing the large gametes of their species.
or, for simplicity: females, when healthy, produce ovum.
this has been a radfem psa: include women with DSDs and chromosomal abnormalities in your definition of female, for the sake of thoroughness and female solidarity!
fin.
this post is a shortened, edited, and cited version of a wonderfully productive conversation i had with the brilliant and well-spoken @dateagirlwhoisweird, where we went back and forth about our view of the definition of “female” and what it means for women with DSDs and women with chromosomal abnormalities. i highly recommend you go read the full thread and follow her, she’s so sweet and intelligent as all hell, and i had a great time sorting out our differences in perspective in this conversation with her.
thank you so much for reading this till the end, it means the world to me that people genuinely read and appreciate my work and repost it. i love all my mutuals, and every wonderful woman on radblr who i can have conversations with, especially when we can productively disagree and find a path forward together 🖤🖤
Just found out one of my cousins on my dad’s side is trans and my grandma accepts it, now I don’t really have a problem with this despite me being a TERF but I just find it weird that my Grandma who is constantly committing racial micro-aggressions to me and making misogynistic statements about women in general is okay with this. IMO this just kinda proves that transgenderism isn’t a radical movement for gender abolition but rather reinforces gender stereotypes so much to the point where my conservative homophobic grandma can accept it💀
My mother is a choice feminist and I disagree with a lot of her viewpoints doesn’t mean I hate her I just disagree, I don’t hate my cousin he’s like 19 at most. I feel bad for younger trans identifying people cause usually they feel as if that’s their only option.
radblr / terfblr, what is your worst TRA interaction story / the story that radicalized you?
Mine is when I had a bunch of TiF friends trying to convince me what I was experiencing was gender dysphoria (when it was internalized misogyny). I believed it until I realized every experience I had that was ‘gender dysphoria’ was related to misogyny I experienced and held towards myself and not ‘feeling like another gender’. Also, being told that me being autistic meant I was more likely to be trans because I ‘wouldn’t understand what gender felt like’.
A transwoman propositioned me back when I was a TRA (when I was 18, the TW was an upperclassmen in early 20s-ish). I wasn’t attracted to males but couldn’t say that obviously. I said I don’t have sex with people I don’t know well (true, I’d only known this person a month or so), they flew off the handle and tried to assault me. When I told a professor he said I was being transphobic and brushed off the whole interaction so I sort of just tried to ignore it and keep my distance outside of class. Then the (white American) TW stole my deeply cultural name and started using it (despite, you know, not being part of the culture).
Anyway I just recently found out this TW is going to trial for sexually assaulting three other women before I even had these experiences soooo 🤷♀️
My friend died after phalloplasty in 2018. Her concern around the grooming and ostracism she faced during transition and detransition pushed me to look harder into gender ideology. Then, when I posted about her death on twitter, a Trans-identified-male sent me paragraphs of graphic rape threats directed at my four year old son.
That was the point that I became "radicalised". Talking about the death of a wonderful young person, and wondering aloud about the circumstances that led to her decision to surgically transition was enough to get rape threats towards my child. And although the police (and twitter support) took it extremely seriously, about half of my friend group told me that I was the bigoted one. That yes, rape threats are bad, but I started it by talking about my concerns.
After I escaped my abusive relationship, I started attending a support group for domestic violence survivors. A trans woman joined and completely colonized and ruined the space. We were there after physical beatings, attempted murder, one woman's abuser broke her infant baby's legs while she was sleeping and now the kid will never walk. The trans woman's idea of domestic violence was his wife witholding sex after he announced that he was transitioning. The group fell apart.
these stories echo my own experience with a former friend who was a TIM in college. he used to be a fashionable campy man we all assumed was gay until he became a trans woman, at which point he would do things like kiss us on the lips as a greeting, without asking, strip in front of us, act like 'one of the girls', go to gay clubs with us and hit on anyone afab.
we're in our 30s now. after peaking I checked his social media accounts. hadn't heard from him in ages. yeah... he's a redpilled conservative straight man.
it's not anecdotal if the line of women telling these stories is endless.
Just found out one of my cousins on my dad’s side is trans and my grandma accepts it, now I don’t really have a problem with this despite me being a TERF but I just find it weird that my Grandma who is constantly committing racial micro-aggressions to me and making misogynistic statements about women in general is okay with this.
