"Queers", "Eunuchs", etc.Reader comment on item: Why Do You American Conservatives Keep Losing? Submitted by Michael S, Dec 5, 2018 at 10:14 Hello, Stein. Sex chromosome disorders belong to a group of genetic conditions that are caused or affected by the loss, damage or addition of one or both sex chromosomes (also called gonosomes). In humans this may refer to: -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_chromosome_disorders Besides the classifications used by the rabbis, I will note that Jesus used the term "eunuch", in a generally positive sense: Matt. 19 Most of the sex disorders listed in the Wikipedia article seem to result in infertility. From an evolutionary perspective, therefore, you might correctly suppose that they are rare conditions. Because of this, the old term "queer", for such genetically ambiguous persons, is appropriate. In every case, though, the aberration appears in the natal DNA, and can easily be determined by testing. The current, politically generated, fascination with "gender identity", on the other hand, does not have this scientific basis.
