  • …ignoring the fact that sex selected artificial insemination of sperm…

    Common misconception. We say it’s sex selected, but it’s actually chromosome selected, and the criteria is chromosomes that determine sex characteristics.

    Regardless, the order as written does not define sex as the presence or absence of the Y chromosome in humans. It defines it as “what type of reproductive cell (based on size of all things) a zygote would produce if unaltered at the time of conception”. At that time, without any other hormone changes, or activation/deactivation of genes affecting sex characteristics, the resulting organism would produce eggs instead of sperm.

    To make a long story shorter. Intersex people exist, and infertile people exist. What sex would they be, based on this XO? As written, there are only 2 options, and neither apply to those people.

    Also, this…

    …fact that sex selected artificial insemination of sperm (not embryo) exists.

    … doesn’t actually exist. Looks like you are using a misunderstanding of science politically.
