I don't even get a gender!

Everyone on this forum keeps talking about genders vs sex (gender is same as sex) and seen CIS Males and CIS Female thrown out alot.

About a year ago I realized as a straight male, I didn't qualify as a CIS Male, and like most of the world's population, lacked a gender. Why? I lost my original birth certificate in a hospital fire. The state of California was nice enough to make new ones, but they have a flaw.... I was born with no middle name, and chose my name when I was 9 or 10 years old. They just went off what I said. So I have no objective proof what I was declared to be when I was born. I could of been declared Bat Boy. How would I know?

And I'm not alone. Most of the population of earth lives in the third world, and most of them are not having hospital births with declaration of sex. Lucky if you get a midwife. Therefore most of the world's population of straight people are NOT CIS. But most of the world is straight.

So CIS Gender becomes a first world phenomena, wildly slapped on others based upon the presumption of legal documents.

It means most people have a sex, BUT NO GENDER! Oops!

It's just a few genes (about 23) on your Y chromosome that tells your X chromosome whether to manifest testes and a penis, instead of a vagina and ovaries and all the other additional plumbing the girls have. Always with the nipples though. Boy or girl. That's default apparently...

They just finished mapping the Y chromosome a few weeks ago, and we still largely don't understand it.
" The Y chromosome likely contains 70 to 200 genes that provide instructions for making proteins. Because only males have the Y chromosome, the genes on this chromosome tend to be involved in male sex determination and development. Sex is determined by the SRY gene, which is responsible for the development of a fetus into a male. Other genes on the Y chromosome are important for enabling men to father biological children (male fertility)." Y chromosome: MedlinePlus Genetics
