This came from FB

It's scientific fact that humans come in two varieties - XX for female and XY for male.
....EXCEPT....
1. You can be born appearing female, but have a 5-alpha reductase deficiency and grow a penis at age 12.
Medically, this condition is known as “5-alpha reductase deficiency.
2. You can be born legally male with an X and a Y
chromosome, but your body is insensitive to androgens, and you appear female. Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a condition that affects sexual development before birth and during puberty.
3. You can be born legally male with an X and a Y
chromosome, and have a penis and testes, *and* a uterus and fallopian tubes. This another form of androgen insensitivity syndrome.
4. You can be born legally male with an X and a Y
chromosome, but your Y chromosome is missing the SRY gene, which gives you a female body. This is a condition known as Swyer syndrome.
5. You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but one of the Xs has an SRY gene, which gives you a male body. This another form of Swyer syndrome.
6. You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes - and also a Y chromosome, which gives you a male body. This child would be "intersex", another form of Swyer syndrome.
7. You can be born legally female with two X chromosomes, but your adrenal gland doesn't produce enough cortisol, and your body develops as a male. This is a condition known as X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita and affects the development of the adrenal glands.
8. You can be born with XX chromosomes -*and* XY
chromosomes (chimerism).



It blows my mind to hear people who are supposedly "educated" make comments like "There are only 2 sexes XX and XY"

The other issue that I do not hear brought up is how babies are born different all the time. The average number of legs a baby is born with is

Something good to spread around about fake news

There are people trying to combat all the lies of the republicans and yet so many people still watch it.

I found this at mediabiasfactcheck and think it is a good thing to spread around. I know a lot of people have been doing this for a long time but it doesn't hurt to spread the truth around again

This is just about Fox News

In 2022, Fox News was sued for Defamation by Dominion Voting Systems for 1.6 billion dollars due to alleged false claims and conspiracy theories related to the companies voting machines in the 2020 presidential election. According to the lawsuit’s court docket, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Jeannine Pirro, and former Fox Business host Lou Dobbs will be deposed.

On 04/18/2023, Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit for $787 million where they were accused of promoting false claims and conspiracy theories against Dominion Voting Systems during the 2020 elections. A statement by Fox reads as follows:

I have an update about the company that was, 'supposed" to put

https://democraticunderground.com/10182131839


put my dishwasher in. The woman on the phone was always very nice. But I told her I did not want either of the previous plumbers coming to my house again because of the way they did things the last time. She was OK with that. But when "The guy" finally got here it was the very same one from before . I was so mad. We had an argument and he left.

Then the owner called me and he said that what the plumber told me about if he had to go pick up the that plastic drain pipe it would have cost me $650.00!

I almost couldn't believe it. And I asked him why the second brother didn't bring the part with him since brother #1 just the day before showed me that the rats had eaten it.

And then he told me how my house was rat infested. I swear there were 3 and I immediately called the Pest Control company and those 3 are gone. I think that pissed me off too - trying to blame me by saying I am dirty and have rats all over.

I would like someone to explain to me why it is such a big deal to tell

Other people that you are trans. Grant it, I do not know a lot about the subject and the place I am getting my information at is probably not the best, (I'm watching "90 Day Fiance" and its spinoffs)

Like there was a guy who went to Columbia or some South American country to be with a women he fell in love with online and her parents were "conservative" and they made such a big damn deal about him telling the parents that he was trans. I understand that they need story lines and they want friction but damn, why can't he just be who he is without having to tell the entire world as if it is something to be ashamed of??

I've heard that Transsexuality is a birth defect where your body is born incongruous with your brain. One thinks it is male and the other female or visa versa. So you fix it if you can and go on. I've also heard on that show "Botched" that many women are born with 3 nipples and they just remove one of them. These women don't feel the need to tell the entire fucking world that they were born with an extra nipple!

I do not mean to be insensitive to anyone and if I have been I apologise. I wish people could just be and not have a bunch of jerks judge them. If this is a birth defect then it joins a whole bunch of other birth defects that are not judged as character defects, like dyslexia, color blindness, regular blindness, autism, missing limbs etc.

Thank you

Do not know if this was posted from 2 weeks ago but the interview of President Biden by Howard Stern

was just wonderful. I learned so much about Biden's childhood and how his parents molded him into the great man he is. He talked about the stutter and what it was like and how he overcame it. He talked about his first wife and how he was able to go on after her death.

And Howard Stern was wonderful too. He was dressed in a suit! And he told Biden how nervous he was about the interview. He really loves President Biden.

So for anyone who missed it..........

So I have this strip surge protector that is plugged into the wall right next to my couch

where I play on the laptop and charge my phone. I also have lights plugged one of the outlets. Last night the red light on the surge protector wasn't turning on so I started moving plugs around trying to get it to work but nothing was helping. So because the laptop has a battery and so does the phone I decided to keep the lights on and use the other plug hole in the wall outlet to alternate between filling up the battery on the computer and then the phone. I was a little frantic and irritated because I knew I had to go out and get a new surge protector and I didn't want to let anything loose all its battery power.

So today I was getting ready to go to Home Depot for a new surge protector. I went to where I had left the cords and grabbed the old one that was broken to throw it out. I glanced at it and then realized that I found a new way of being an idiot. Note this:

Anyone know of this "Be Active Plus" for sciatica pain? I just saw it. It doesn't make

lick of sense that an acupressure thingy right below your knee would stop sciatica but I don't know everything.

"Introducing BeActive® Plus
The secret is the acupoint pressure pad that applies gentle targeted compression to the trigger point so the pain is turned off. Simply apply BeActive® Plus to the acupressure point on the calf just below your knee.

BeActive® Plus is the easy way to make sciatic nerve pain go away. In fact, it works so well, the FDA Cleared BeActive® Plus as a medical device."

I really want some of the media and/or other Dems to ask these Republicans what they

(The Republican party) has done for the American people? Name on friggin thing that has benefited our citizens.

They've got nothing.

And have a backup plan, because we know how they will say that President Biden has done nothing.

Here are some examples but there are plenty more that this administration has accomplished.

"Rescued the Economy and Changed the Course of the Pandemic.

"Rebuilding our Infrastructure"
.
"Historic Expansion of Benefits and Services for Toxic Exposed Veterans."

"Nearly 11 million jobs have been created since President Biden took office – including 750,000 manufacturing jobs."

"New law to increase law enforcement accountability."

"New laws meant to increase job accountability for police and other members of the DOJ"

"Biden returned the United States to the Paris climate accord which Trump pulled out of, and set a goal of reducing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions 50-52 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels."

"US MANUFACTURING, INDUSTRY
Biden and his fellow Democrats pushed through more than $2 trillion in federal spending, much of it aimed at restoring US manufacturing, in bills including the CHIPS, Inflation Reduction Act and an infrastructure bill.

Many of the companies who want a share of that federal spending must comply with a batch of requirements that force industries to make their products in the United States, a move welcomed by labor unions but opposed by trading allies such as the European Union and Mexico.

U.S. manufacturing jobs hit 12.98 million in each of the first three months of this year, the most since 2008, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics."

"crack down on child labor laws"

Reunited 600 children the were kidnapped by the Trump administration, there are still about 1,000 but they continue to look for their families


"banned chokeholds and carotid restraints, unless deadly force is authorized, and limited the use of “no-knock” entries.

"Accreditation Standards: DOJ created first-of-their-kind accreditation standards "

"Guidelines for Emergency Responses to People with Behavioral Health or Other Disabilities: HHS and DOJ jointly developed guidance regarding emergency responses to calls and interactions with people in behavioral or mental health crisis or persons who have disabilities" (This is a great one since so many people who are having a mental health crisis are abused and even killed by cops)

I found this fascinating study that suggests chimerism is much more prevelent

than we thought and also can explain why some people are homosexual or transgendered.

First I do not know how well this is accepted; if it even accepted and it is from about 10 years ago. But I have read about people who have two different genomes in their bodies and we really have no idea how many people that happens to. There was one story of a woman whose children came out with different DNA than they "should have" as her children.

And please, this is just information. I am not trying to be insulting to anyone and I sincerely hope this information is not insulting. I identify as a bisexual woman and I have no idea how I came to be bisexual. It would be interesting to find out though.

Here is a definition of microchimerism - "Microchimerism is defined as the presence of two genetically distinct cell populations in the same individual. It can arise from several causes including the bidirectional transfer of cells between mother and fetus during pregnancy, twin-to-twin transfer in utero, from organ transplantation, and blood transfusion."

Chimera - "A genetic chimerism or chimera (/kaɪˈmɪərə/ ky-MEER-ə or /kɪˈmɪərə/ kə-MEER-ə, also spelled chimaera or chimæra) is a single organism composed of cells with more than one distinct genotype. In animals, this means an individual derived from two or more zygotes, which can include possessing blood cells of different blood types, subtle variations in form (phenotype) and, if the zygotes were of differing sexes, then even the possession of both female and male sex organs[1] (this is just one of many different phenomena that may result in intersexuality). Animal chimeras are produced by the merger of multiple fertilized eggs."

DUAL-GENDER MACRO-CHIMERIC TISSUE DISCORDANCE IS PREDICTED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT CAUSE OF HUMAN HOMOSEXUALITY AND TRANSGENDERISM
Brian P Hanley

ABSTRACT

I present literature evidence that suggests that human chimerism may be quite common, occurring in between 5% and 15% of people. Chimerism has been believed to be rare because it usually presents without visible phenotype. In addition to the documented occurrence of dual gender macrochimeras with true hermaphrodite phenotype, there are reports of the occurrence of other natural human macrochimeras. The literature reviewed in this paper suggests that such macrochimerism is much more common than usually appreciated. Chimerism occurs in a patchy manner, with male cells outgrowing female in macrochimerism causing the majority to be phenotypically male. The literature also suggests that the sex of nervous system tissue is the primary determinant in higher animals of sexual attraction. From this, the existence of human macrochimeras in which large proportions of cells are male and female is predicted to have a correlation with homosexuality and transgender self-identification because in many such cases, the central nervous system, or crucial parts of it, will be of one sex and the gonads and body form will be of the opposite sex. I describe experiments to further clarify this hypothesis, which can also have potential benefit beyond this specific question.

This old man really knows what is going on

https://twitter.com/DanielSeidemann/status/939885411433893894


My ailing father - 93 years old, a victim & defeater of Nazism, a right-wing Orthodox Jew - was asked by the physician in the emergency room, seeking to ascertain his cognitive state:

"Who's the President?"

My dad: "You don't want to know".

Jeez, I love my dad.
