As there's been a different take on this by another poster I thought I'd better check... and it's not the case. The sex of the embryo is determined by the chromosomes. I checked various official gov and NHS websites just to be sure.
That's an oversimplification, rather than a scientific fact.

Oooh, NSC's racists are triggeeeerrred.
Huh? Utter bollox (Y chromosome ones).
Bit like that urban myth from the 90’s where there are 3 woman (i wanted to put bird’s) to every bloke in Nottingham
At least the RIP threads are thinning
Seeing as they believe they won WW2 single-handed (and played a major role in cracking the Enigma code), that's pretty much par for the course.
Oooh that is deliciously hilarious.
I have looked through this a couple of times and though it is more complicated than just the chromosome it still seems that sex is determined at conception. Have I understood that correctly?That's an oversimplification, rather than a scientific fact.
Here's a paper that explains in more detail.
Is the Y chromosome all that is required for sex determination? - PMC
The gender identity of a person is the final result of genetic, hormonal and morphologic sex. Over a long period sex determination, and, specifically, male sex determination, has been correlated to the presence of the Y chromosome, which in turn has ...
I thought it was us lefties who were doing the crying?
It's debatable, that's the problem. Obviously all of the genetic factors are determined at conception, but it's difficult to assess exactly what effect they'll have.
So a clearer statement might be that genetic factors that determine sex are fixed at conception. Laws are frequently open to interpretation unfortunately - see discussions on this forum about penalties recently! The intent of the executive order seems clear enough but implementation will show.
Yes. Sex is chromosomes. Gender is hormones and the way the brain works.
Any comment on the fact that he thinks Spain is the S in BRICS.
It undoubtedly gives the 'anti-woke' an opportunity but the fundamental question remains: if there are spaces where you want society divided do you do it on sex or gender?
That is a very good question to which I have no simple answer.
Never tested it myself but I did have a friend of unfortunate physiognomy who drove up every weekend. He did eventually pull but had to park up his slightly flash motor for the rest of the year as the excess miles on his finance agreement were going to bankrupt him
