- How does the FBI know it found “Female DNA”? @ Lost in Transcription - "From the mitochondrial DNA, and 22 of the 23 other chromosome pairs, there is nothing to tell you whether the DNA came from a male or a female. The genetic difference between males and females resides in that last chromosome pair, the sex chromosomes. At the sex chromosomes, women have two X chromosomes, while men have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome."
- "Testis-determining factor (TDF), also known as sex-determining region Y (SRY) protein, is a DNA-binding protein (also known as gene-regulatory protein/transcription factor) encoded by the SRY gene that is responsible for the initiation of male sex determination in humans. SRY is an intronless sex-determining gene on the Y chromosome in therians (placental mammals and marsupials); mutations in this gene lead to a range of sex-related disorders with varying effects on an individual's phenotype and genotype." - Wikipedia

SOX3
- "Transcription factor SOX-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOX3 gene.This gene encodes a member of the SOX (SRY-related HMG-box) family of transcription factors involved in the regulation of embryonic brain development and in determination of cell fate. The encoded protein acts as a transcriptional activator. Mutations in this gene have been associated with X-linked hypopituitarism (XH) and X-linked mental retardation. Patients with XH are male, have short stature, exhibit a mild form of mental retardation and present pan-hypopituitarism" - Wikipedia

- Brain gene makes a female develop as a male @ Phys - ""We have suspected for a long time that SOX3 is the evolutionary precursor gene for SRY. By showing that SOX3 can activate the male pathway in the same way as SRY, we now believe this to be true."
This work is a longstanding collaboration between Associate Professor Thomas and Dr Robin Lovell-Badge at the Medical Research Council National Institute for Medical Research in London, who discovered the SRY gene in mice more than 20 years ago.
Dr Lovell-Badge says he's excited about the findings: "SOX3 normally functions in the development of the nervous system, but it is now clear that a mutation that makes it active in the early gonad can turn it into the switch that makes testes develop." - SOX3 @ Genetics Home Reference

- "Elagabalus /ˌɛləˈɡæbələs/ or Heliogabalus (Greek: Μάρκος Αυρήλιος Αντωνίνος Αύγουστος; Latin: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus; c. 203 – March 11, 222), was Roman Emperor from 218 to 222. A member of the Severan Dynasty, he was Syrian, the second son of Julia Soaemias and Sextus Varius Marcellus. In his early youth he served as a priest of the god Elagabal (in Latin, Elagabalus) in the hometown of his mother's family, Emesa. As a private citizen, he was probably named Sextus Varius Avitus Bassianus. Upon becoming emperor he took the name Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus. He was called Elagabalus only after his death." - Wikipedia

- R.i.P Lucy Meadows "Transgender Lucy Meadows, who was known as Nathan Upton, left a letter explaining her state of mind and that she had ‘simply had enough of living’.

- Indigenous languages recognize gender states not even named in English @ The Globe and Mail - "In Cree, for example, “aayahkwew” means “neither man or woman.” In Inuktitut, “sipiniq” means “infant whose sex changes at birth.” In Kanien’keha, or Mohawk language, “onón:wat” means “I have the pattern of two spirits inside my body.”Had it been possible, Andy would have opted for gender-neutral pronouns since age 10. “I spent many years of my life feeling different.“Today my grandma just calls me ‘noozhis,’ which means ‘grandkid,’ or by my nation name, which is ‘Waasegiizhigook,’ meaning ‘the light that shines through the clouds.’ She really takes out all the gendered stuff for me, which I really like.”"

- Women With Male DNA All Female @ ABC News - "All of us, men and women, have a mix of male and female hormones running through our systems. And as you might expect, the testes of women with AIS produce huge amounts of the typically male hormone testosterone. But here's the hitch: their bodies can't process any of it. And amazingly, they turn it into the typically female hormone estrogen, giving them much more estrogen than the average woman.These women don't get acne, and have no body odor and minimal sweating. In essence, they are the furthest thing from a male that there could be."
