Yes, but we were talking in nature, not scientific intervention

To my knowledge there is zero chance of an XX becoming male "in nature". Defects in an XY on the Y could lead to an XY female. Basically we are all female by default, intervention by the Y chromosome turns half of us into males. A sufficiently defect Y chromosome could result in an XY female. But there does not appear to me to be any means by which an XX could become male other than intentional intervention. BTW, there are oddities such as XXY (supermales??) etc.


I agree with what you are saying. However, my original point was that if homosexuality is an example of a 'mistake' of nature, nature makes that mistake on a rather consistent basis.

That's what is intriguing to me...........that homosexuality is such a regular component of mammalian [including human] life. What is nature's purpose? Is it simply a design error repeated in rote regularity, or is their an important natural purpose for having a certain percentage of the population gay?
