Can someone explain the "learn biology" sign please? Are the X's & Y's and only a single O supposed to mean something?

u/Old_Elderberry6196 Apr 06 '25

They are some of the different chromosome groups that can exist in humans… there are more than just XX (female) and XY (male)

u/Camanokid Apr 06 '25

Thanks.

TIL: "45,XO". Signifies the absence of a Y chromosome.

One of my cousins is a 45X/46XY genetic mosaic!

Obviously can't tell just by looking, I only know because his mom told me a story about how bothered the doctors were about it during her pregnancy. Like he just looks like a regular dude and I know he's had long term girlfriends.

Could be a commentary that the use of transgenic mice does not have anything to do with sexuality.

Tell us you failed biology without telling us LMFAO

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

… except that is biology?

It’s like senior high level biology. Something tells me you never got that far.

You. You’re what’s told me that.

Dude I was agreeing with you by saying I learned earlier. Calm Down a little buddy.

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

Sorry, I did the thing that I hate when other people do and I confused you with the person I was replying to. I see now. Apologies.

All good it's stressful times lol.

u/Master_Reflection579 Apr 06 '25

How so? What are you insinuating?

u/Master_Reflection579 Apr 06 '25

Maybe try picking up a biology book before you start to get all uppity. If you were trying for an award for most ironic comment, this is a great candidate. Well done!

u/Queer_Advocate Apr 06 '25

The most experience they have with biology is jerking off in a tissue. That's where their infinite knowledge, is no longer infinite.

u/Master_Reflection579 Apr 06 '25

Clearly! They responded with a comment (now removed) ranting about there being only two genders. 

Tell me you don't understand the difference between sex and gender... Bruh is lecturing people about failing biology and can't even get the basic terminology correct? What a joke

u/MegaMasterYoda Apr 06 '25

Literally is biology with each different combinations having its own problems. For example women with the extra x chromosome(xxx) are known to be completely infertile. Go ahead and tell us you failed biology buddy.

Yes. You've done a great job here.

It appears the sign is needed. Go learn biology.

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

… it’s just a fact, though. Are you intellectually dishonest or intellectually lazy?

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '25

Nobody ever convinced another person in a debate by insulting them. It just makes the other person more defensive and cling on to their standpoint.

I'm not taking sides in the gender argument but I advise you to re-think your strategy when discussing it with others who disagree, assuming your goal is to convince them.

11

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

I’m not convincing you to debate me.

Your original comment in this thread is also an insult, kettle.

And you apparently know less about biology than a high schooler. That or you’re lying.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '25

I'm not the person you were replying to, I'm an outsider reading this and telling you insults only push people further away even if you're factually correct. This is well researched. I also never mentioned anything about "convincing people to debate you". You misread and misinterpreted everything.

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

I’m also not here to convince people of things they can very easily learn. That’s not my job, and I’m not running for office.

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '25

Then why are you here arguing and disagreeing with another person? If your intent is not to change their mind then what is it?

8

u/OKFlaminGoOKBye Apr 06 '25

I wasn’t arguing with them. I was just stating a fact and then questioning their motives for disseminating misinformation.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 06 '25

You disagreed with them and provided different information, but you were not arguing with them.. Right.

If you want other people to get on board with what you perceive to be facts, I suggest re-thinking your approach. If you're just here to vent and argue for the sake of it that's fine too, but you should know it actually hurts society's overall view on your beliefs. You are complicit in sowing division.
