McDonald's in hot water over boy or girl toys

"Your correct. It's ingrained in our DNA. Except the ratio of gender identity is more in the neighborhood of 12 to 15% of all humans carry both sexual traits. It's not 99 out of a 100 boy/girl."

This is what your calling BS on. This statement. You want a single hyperlinked "source" to back up my generalized claim that "12 to 15% of all humans carry both sexual traits. Its not 99 out of a 100 boy/girl."

You bring nothing but childish tactics to the conversation. There is nothing in that statement to call BS on that's not easily found on the internet. You bring nothing to the table.....Yet you sit in the back seat and yell "source". As if this forum is a college classroom.

The only fact in that statement is "it's not 99 out of a 100 boy/girl.". That was directed at the OP's statement. It is widely accepted in scholastic circles that about 12 to 15% of the world's population is "intersex".

Cry ******** all you want. Ask for sources. Ask for studies. Believe what you want. Type it in your little search bar or go to college and learn something using real books from library's. The info is easily found.

You've won today's Pink McPrize for your contribution to the conversation. Now go find another thread to troll.

First off, your conflating sex and gender. But here's the thing. Neither is widely accepted to be 12-15%. Even the most lenient studies would suggest, at most, 2% to fall under a "transgender" umbrella which would include bigenders. And I'm talking about modern studies, not archaic methods of determining this such as used in the DSM IV (which by the way is a fairly authoritative book which puts the number between 1:30,000 to 1:100,000). Intersex, or what was historically called hermaphroditism, is just as rare. Even more liberal definitions would put the prevalence of intersex individuals at less than 2%.

This may be the most important marketing decision McD's make this year.
