    There are a decent number of combinations of the X and Y chromosomes, not just XX and XY. If I remember correctly there are about 6 more common combos

      Not just cromossomes matter. Intersex can be purely environmental and not genetic.

        yes the majority of humans just have one or the other and mutations and disorders can cause variations within the two. but those aren’t a majority of humans.

        people seem to think that he is putting some negative meaning behind it.

        just because a mutation is a mutation doesn’t mean it’s bad. but it doesn’t mean it’s normal for humans either.
