Yes, I know that there are cases of extra chromosomes in in a number of different places, for instance responsible for Downs syndrome. They were always referred to as abnormalities not as indications of a separate sex, when they were additions to the xy chromosomes. It is the concept that they were additional sexes or that it was proven that they caused differences in the sexual orientation of a person that I was asking about.. The anomaly which causes a hermaphrodite like condition in cattle is apparently caused by an excess in testosterone and happened when a cow is carrying a bull calf and a heifer calf, and the heifer calf is somewhat masculine in appearance and is sterile. It is my understanding that such conditions are not of a genetic nature. However there is a condition in dogs that happens once in a while, and is genetic where the animal appears female but has testes rather than ovaries. The deformities in this case are genetic so I guess it is similar to one of the types in humans. I was just curious as to whether or not the persons with these conditions were fertile or not and whether people with same sex attractions had been tested for these genetic conditions. Since it is apparently your field I thought you might give me a quick synopsis so I wouldn't have to do a search. Considering how slow this computer is, it might take me several hours to do so, I was hoping you would be willing to take a few minutes to answer the question. thought I'd ask, but never mind. It will not cause my life to end if I don't find out at this time. Thanks anyway.

We were under the impression this was YOUR field.
I find it curious that a person who is implying they have an education, license and a lifetime of work as well as an extensive arsenal of "research" material and "clinical experience" and understanding in the field of human sexuality, doesn't have basic knowlege of the physiology and the genetic basis for gender differences.
How could such a "professional" be ignorant of basic information taught in high school biology classes.
Just saying..... maybe you aren't the expert who needs to be explaining this stuff to kids...
Or political forums.
