Is There Seriously No Gender Option In WOTLK PTR?

Nope! Sex is a lot more complex than this and there are many chromosomal configurations and variations.

Do you understand that masculine-looking women and feminine-looking men exist? Do you understand that people with a chromosomal sex inconsistent with their phenotypic sex exist? You might be intersex yourself without realising it. If you’re a man, you might have ovaries and a uterus. Have you ever had a scan to check?

For your information, the following chromosomes/gonosomes have all been scientifically recognised and studied:

  • 45, X
  • 45,X/46,XY mosaicism
  • 46, XX/XY
  • 47, XXX
  • 47, XXY
  • 47, XYY
  • 48, XXXX
  • 48, XXXY
  • 48, XXYY
  • 49, XXXXY
  • 49, XXXXX
  • XX gonadal dysgenesis
  • XY gonadal dysgenesis
  • XX male syndrome

47,XXY is also known as Klinefelter Syndrome or KS. The extra X chromosome can come from either the father or the mother. Interestingly, only about 25% of people with KS are diagnosed thoughout their lives. You might have XXY chromosomes yourself, right now!

What about 46, XY complete gonagal dysgenesis? A person with that intersex condition is phenotypically female and will generally have normal female external genitalia. Would you still consider them male? What about this case of a healthy and unambiguously female chimera with 46,XX/46,XY karyotype? Still male? https://doi.org/10.1515%2Fjpem.2009.22.1.97

If you believe that these chromosome/gonosome variations don’t exist, please provide a single similar source that investigates and disproves their existence.
