The sex determination system is the system that defines the organisms sex and there are different systems. Humans have a chromosomal system. Please consult the picrel.

Most species have two sexes but these sexes can be created differently. They are the male and female in humans which are one sex per individual for life. Sex is chromosomal in humans.

Sex is arbitrary and by convention. The moving gamete is the male by convention agreed by scientists. Sex and social gender are not the same.

>Sex is chromosomal in humans.
Exactly, which is why humanity was thought to be a sexless species until late 19th century.

okay?

Chromosome

So sex and gender are different things

what is this supposed to prove

Did you get raped so hard in the last two threads that you decided to start a third one to push your agenda?

Which threads and what agenda?

What's wrong with it?

Plus in humans it's way more than just X and Y involved in sexual dimorphic traits.

wait till you find out women at birth can have XY chromosomes

>>828136
There are loads of people who go through life with undiscovered chromosomal abnormalities. Nobody cares about chromosomes until the cause down syndrome.
Stop your crypto TERFism.

>>828136
Among humans, the standard of embryonic developement is female while males are the result of the activation of some genes statistically associated with the Y chromosome. That is is a bit different from chromosomes determines sex.

This is not true, chromosomes correlate with sex but do not determine it.

Just a reminder that the report button exists.

Uhhh. But don't you know that XXY people exist?! They're totally intersex, absolutely not male!

>>828251
you should make your own thread about this; this thread is about chromosomal sex determination

Eh, there are at least few levels from sex chromosomes to fully grown human. Hyperfocusing on XY chromosomes isn't something even scientists do.

Currently, we have something like this. The binary choice of presence or absence of SRY region (which is usually on Y chromosome, but not always) is the lowest level. SRY region starts a cascade of various gene expressions that in turn produce gonads which, when developed, introduce another level of indirection. Then, those gonads produce hormones which act specifically on various tissues in different ways. Hence, we call it "sex-biasing factors". Why am I speaking about it that way?
Because sometimes chromosome level and hormone level won't work synergistically. For example, in mouse models it is shown that two copies of X chromosome increase the body weight of female mice, but estrogen reduces it. In XO mice, the body weight is lowwer, because there is no second X chromosome.
And we didn't even start to talk about how hormones influence various organs, like the brain. I will cite, because it's bit complicated to write
>For example, structural MRI of brains has been applied to a population of humans with variations in effectiveness of the androgen receptor (AR), caused by different lengths of CAG repeats encoding polyglutamine tracts in the AR gene (Raznahan et al., 2010). In males, shorter CAG repeats (causing more effective function of the AR) were found to be associated with more masculine adolescent developmental changes in cortical thickness of the inferior parietal lobule in males, suggesting that some sex differences in the cortex are caused by greater action of androgens in males. Moreover, in females more effective variants of the AR were associated with more masculine patterns of adolescent change in the inferior frontal gyrus, suggesting that androgen action in females may account for some phenotypic variations among females.
Here's a doi in case someone is interested: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yhbeh.2020.104691
To finish my spiel, sex is not chromosomal in humans, because of the above. Also, if we really decouple sex from culture, then we will come to the conclusion that female sex gets pregnant. If someone who is "of female sex" (culturally) can not get pregnant, they are not a real female. This is what purely functional understanding of sex comes down to.
