Even the Olympics doesn't you chromosome testing anymore.

Sex. The simplest thing DNA can tell you is whether someone is male or female. Apart from some very rare cases, that doesn't even involve looking at their DNA sequence - all you need to know is whether they have X and Y chromosomes (making them male) or a pair of Xs (which makes them female).Apr 26, 2008
NO.

Just people makin' stuff up to suit their agenda.
I don't have a problem with people going to the bathroom. That's probably because I'm all grown up. Weirdness in the bathroom, though ... needs to be dealt with.
Equal Rights is an agenda?
Or is denying Equal Rights to a minority an agenda?
Fair questions. Here are my honest thoughts on those:
Why does a group of people think they have the right to change a long-term understanding into a Social Justice issue?
Some people have suggested a third 'type' of bathroom ... just for these people you refer to as a minority. I, OTOH, think that bathroom should be set aside for pervs. LOL
personally won't cede minority status to LGBTers. I accept that they are for real.
While I do believe the vast majority are mentally ill
... some are just straight-up whatever the Hell they are. That said, they are what they are, and everyone can't be a minority based on some 'minor defect' in the way they were born.

Somehow I think you missed the point and the joke.

Science is science. If you test a dude's chromosomes they come out XY. A girl comes out XX. Quite repeatable in the lab I'm afraid.
Calling a Spade a Heart doesn't make it a Heart. It's just mis-labeled.

Im a biologist and last I checked except for rare genetical disorders XX chromosomes meant you are born with a vagina and XY a penis.
The science behind the chromosomes is the same it ever was.
Gender is a complex and topical issue, both biologically and socially. In 2000, the Institute of Medicine published a report entitled: "Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter?" It emphasized the following critical questions: How can information on sex differences be translated into preventative, diagnostic and therapeutic practice? How can the new knowledge about and understanding of biological sex differences and similarities most effectively be used to positively affect patient outcomes and improve health and health care? The overarching conclusions were that: Sex does matter.The study of sex differences is evolving into a mature science. Barriers to the advancement of knowledge about sex differences in health and illness exist and must be eliminated. Understanding the biological bases of gender has a critical influence on gender politics--whether it is the access of health care to women, or the social welfare to the gay, lesbian, and transgender communities. Many leaders in the fields of sex differences, sex determination, and gender biology perform basic research at UCLA. The Gender Center agglomerates existing expertise at UCLA and promotes a novel way to think about, teach, and practice modern science and medicine. gendercenter.genetics.ucla.edu...

It gets more complicated as the science is discovering how the brain determines gender identity, and sometimes the brain doesn't match the XX or XY.

I'm just literally sick to death of all of this politically correct bull, & God forbid, if you happen to say 1 wrong word!!! Hello.....???????

Then you can have whatever body you actually think you want, and I can actually have the orange grass my brain demands.

I know this thread is about your fear.
I was responding to a statement made from ignorance. Part of a quote in the OP. What's the motto of ATS, again?
Maine school district forced the student to use a staff restroom A court in Maine awarded the family of a transgender teenager $75,000 in a discrimination lawsuit against a school district that forced the student to use a staff restroom rather than a facility reserved for pupils, reports the Associated Press. Nicole Maines, 17, had won her lawsuit against the Orono school district earlier this year in front of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court, which ruled that the school district had violated the state’s Human Rights Act. The case marked the first time a state’s highest court ruled that a transgender person has the right to use the restroom of the gender with which they identify. time.com...
Yes. And I said so.
Sex is determined by the chromosomes and you frikken know it.
So, the lifeguard is a tool?
Everything else is confusion being used as a tool.

Chromosomal configuration where, again? Oh, right, in the DNA......
Wrong.
