Scientific complexity Memes

Chromosomal simplicity vs. modern complexity—what a journey! In 1990, biology textbooks were like "XX = girl, XY = boy, done and dusted." Fast forward to 2021, and explaining gender is like trying to solve a conspiracy board with red string everywhere. The beautiful irony? The science hasn't changed—our understanding of how biological sex interacts with gender identity has just gotten wonderfully more nuanced. Thirty years later and we're all that wild-eyed person trying to explain something far more complex than a Punnett square. Nature laughs at our neat little categories while we frantically draw more connection lines.
