In this thread I'll be going into specifics on my argument of how women born with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome are intersex females and not intersex males. I'll be using the five factors of sex determination which I went into in this
To start with the the way the five factors work is that together they add up to one of the two results, I think this is a safe estimate given the casing of Hayley Haynes.. which can be backed up by a few other findings where uterine tissue was discovered:
There was an official statement made that determined the current ongoing issues with uterus transplants being an issue in AIS women having nothing to do with their Y chromosome which currently people use chromosomes to argue genotype, or
Let's start then, with the first and most simple of factors. Karyotype.
In those born with CAIS they are born with a 46 XY karyotype with a SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However there is a mutation in the primary X chromosome that leads to not being able to process androgens.
This in turn leads to testicular feminization caused by a mutation in the X chromosome that leads to the body resisting, or not being effected by androgens produced in the body. We'll go more into that later.
Karyotype: Male Typical 46 XY[SRY]
Another thread so soon? This one's going to be about a classic argument, sex determination. There are five methods of sex determination and I'm going to go into depth on my arguments on why I state that sex is able to be determined in all cases. #intersex

the very first public comment was a #notallwhitepeople statement from Steve Sann who wanted credit for white people helping elect Tom Bradley to mayor back in the day.
folks have *1 minute* to offer comment on how their communities are being impacted by complex historical processes. which meant that Tim Watkins was cut off while talking abt Watts' challenges while white westsiders are calling in to complain about being gentrified by tall bldgs.
a woman calling from Crenshaw was trying to explain some of the ways which folks are being pushed out of the area and was cut off midway through.
it takes me 3000-5000 words to explain how the legacy of redlining impacts a specific project. the story about Nipsey, which digs into how that history impacted his life, was 10K words. one minute doesn't even begin to allow for that conversation.
What the Crenshaw woman was trying to get across is that Crenshaw is currently being flooded with market rate developments eager to take advantage of the arrival of the Crenshaw Line.
Starting now until 2 pm: City Planning Commission Equity Day. https://t.co/1TggvayYU4. If you care about structural racism in land use and planning, and want LA City to be taking actions to fix it, listen in and comment!

Time for some thoughts on schools given the revised SickKids document and the fact that ON decided to leave most schools closed. ON is not the only jurisdiction to do so, but important to note that many jurisdictions would not have done so -even with higher incidence rates.
As outlined in the tweet by @NishaOttawa yesterday, the situation is complex, and not a simple right or wrong https://t.co/DO0v3j9wzr. And no one needs to list all the potential risks and downsides of prolonged school closures.
On the other hand: while school closures do not directly protect our most vulnerable in long-term care at all, one cannot deny that any factor potentially increasing community transmission may have an indirect effect on the risk to these institutions, and on healthcare.
The question is: to what extend do schools contribute to transmission, and how to balance this against the risk of prolonged school closures. The leaked data from yesterday shows a mixed picture -schools are neither unicorns (ie COVID free) nor infernos.
Assuming this data is largely correct -while waiting for an official publication of the data, it shows first and foremost the known high case numbers at Thorncliff, while other schools had been doing very well -are safe- reiterating the impact of socioeconomics on the COVID risk.

1/It's the eve of provincial announcements on schools reopening for in-person instruction.

Households are under stress and experts are divided on whether schools are unicorns or infernos.
Everyone wants to do right by kids, who have borne so much throughout this pandemic.

A little venting: How do you get nutrition journalists to do their job? I spoke to @TamarHaspel 2 months ago. I suggested she interview MDs who prescribe LCHF/keto diets to their patients, to understand the passion, and ob experts who now buy into the carb/insulin/keto logic.
She had my book, The Case for Keto, which cited over 120+ MDs and she had the endorsements from leading researchers (attached). But none appear in this article. Just @whsource, a blogger, and @KevinH_PhD, and @GardnerPhD.
Claude Rains would call them "the usual suspects."
At the time, @TamarHaspel told me she didn't have time to do that kind of journalistic research: i.e., her job. Is that too much to ask?
Considering the exploding prevalence of ob and db, the public health crisis, can we get journalists to work a little harder asking why?
Finally, why is this so hard to understand?
Re "nothing can defeat the caloric balance equation," @tamarhaspel says "To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you absorb."
NO, IF you are losing weight, THEN you are burning more calories than you absorb.
The energy balance equation says the two things are equivalent--THAT'S WHY THERE'S AN EQUAL SIGN (=) BETWEEN THEM.
It doesn't say one causes the other. It says they are equivalent.
That's the tautology. That's the laws of physics.
Is keto better than other diets for weight loss?

A brand new study by @KevinH_PhD sheds some light.
With comment from @garytaubes @whsource @GardnerPhD.https://t.co/eyB8G0MN3c
