Not XX and not XY: one in 1,666 births
Klinefelter XXY: one in 1,000 births
There are other relevant cases, not necessarily measured here, like mosaicisms and chimerism.
"Do you self-identify as female?" is a more answerable question.
- k__ 13y agobut doesn't 1:1666 mean the success rate is more than 99%? Asking about the posession of an XX chromosome should separate the people almost 50:50, the rest is something else. On the other hand, maybe there are just <1% people who don't identify them self with being male or female, so the questions would make no difference...
- ebiester 13y agoAll that matters is that the answer stays consistent for purposes of the 33 questions.
- ludston 13y ago| On the other hand, maybe there are just <1% people who don't identify them self with being male or female. Huzzah for logic. But note that the question was, "Do you have 1 apple" and not, "Choose a statement: 'I have 1 apple', 'I have 2 apples'"
- k__ 13y agoTrue story, but "Do you have XX-Chromosomes?" would do the trick and cut the mass of people at around 50%.
