    Also, not that it matters, but a "DNA test" is not how you find out if someone has XX, XY, or XXY chromosomes. The word Rowling is looking for is "Karyotype." But hey, if she knew how gender science worked, she probably would not be a TERF.

      Dang I took bio in uni and I forgot the word karyotype existed. No excuses for rowling, I refer to others as they identify instead of focusing on "oBjEcTiVe eSsEnTiAl LiFe FoRcEs" like DNA.

      Also, there are cis women, born with a vagina, that have xy chromosomes, the same is true for xx men. So, the karyotype means nothing, essentially
