And even saying "I'm a cis man" is an interesting question from this point of view, because I've never had my sex chromosomes checked. Why would I? I might not be XY! I might have some chimerism going on, where I have "female" cells or tissues! It's not that rare!

what if sparkle and myckey had a child. wouldnt that be fucked up. haha

they have chimerism

I'm pretty sure on my DX, but haven't figured out the root cause. Chimerism would explain why my genetic sequencing was normal, but I have an area of my body that has unexpected anatomy, tho I'm also starting to wonder about the sequencing accuracy. I don't expect/know of any surgical alterations.

i think another reason that cyberpunk 2077 is hitting me uniquely is the fact that my intersex condition is caused by fetal chimerism after absorbing a twin brother, so i quite literally "share my body with some man" on a genetic and physical level to an extent

Reminder that Teto's gender is "chimera", and chimerism can lead to being intersex.

Plastic surgery for your boob jobs, Mar-A-Lago gargoyle facelifts, gigantic butt implants, & grotesque nose jobs for the kids: Just Fine.

Again, if you’re not a chimera or are unfamiliar with human chimerism, you have no business expounding on gender identity politics.

I've suspected I was intersex since puberty but only over the last year (at 28/29) have I started getting diagnostic testing to figure out exactly what's up with me. It's looking like ovotesticular syndrome, most likely from 46XX/46XY chimerism. I'm a trans woman with ovaries and a uterus and vagina

Hatred turns off critical thinking. If your whole point is "classify intersex people as male or female to dunk on the trans" then you're not doing science, and that will be obvious.

When you learn the biology behind Turner and XY/XO chimerism, then you realise your classification system is dogshit.

#tandem26 #bmtsm Reshef: AlloHeme has good test performance characteristics, including 95% NPV and ROC AUC 0.89. Lead time between AlloHeme+ and clinical relapse was median 41days (not diff between AML and MDS, interestingly). AlloHeme outperforms standard chimerism.

✂️ the head of round-head worm => new round head formed.
✂️ the head of flat-head worm => new flat head formed.
What shape will it be if we ✂️ the head of a worm with 50:50 round + flat stem cells?

I also finished this guy - bsky.app/profile/flic... - too. I might be breaking the show's rules a but by putting him in modern-era clothing, but meh, this guy is a comfort character xD I have made his lore fit into the rules *that I am aware of* but taken a liberty. Or two. #Gargoyles

MAGA is so ignorant, it's like they think being LGBTQ is contageous.
If only they would read some of the many studies about known causes from Maternal Hormones. Too much or too little testosterone at the end of the 1st trimester PROGRAMS the fetal brain. Chimerism is also a possible cause.

I'm still trying to figure out how to explain chimerism to my family.

I think its called periclinal chimerism, the variagation is a result of cells with two different genotypes being present in the same plant. I don't know why leaf cuttings lose the variagation, but root cuttings don't, so propagate by division instead #PlantSky 🌱🪴

Some extra insights!

- Phantom of the Opera Cat would be a black cat with the telltale mask and scarring
- Chimerism Snow Leopard would have one side light with dark spots, and opposite on the other side
- Moon Jester Kitty would be a purple cat with a detailed moon marking and frill collar

No Poll feature here yet, but I still wanna ask!
I’ve gotten a pretty good grasp on the themed premade for LVFC and AC, but for FWA… Might need some help! Which of these concepts sounds the most appealing?

- Phantom of the Opera Cat
- Chimerism Snow Leopard
- Moon Jester Kitty

Sketches coming!
