Has JK Rowling made HER dna public? How do we know she isn't hiding anything??? Make the results public, JK!

Also, not that it matters, but a "DNA test" is not how you find out if someone has XX, XY, or XXY chromosomes. The word Rowling is looking for is "Karyotype." But hey, if she knew how gender science worked, she probably would not be a TERF.

Dang I took bio in uni and I forgot the word karyotype existed. No excuses for rowling, I refer to others as they identify instead of focusing on "oBjEcTiVe eSsEnTiAl LiFe FoRcEs" like DNA.

They still have the british eugenics society over there, though after their second name change they are now the Adelphi Genetics Forum, I like using their old name though since I think it represents them better.

Adelphi Genetics Forum

definitely doesn't sound like an evil corporation from a 90s sci-fi game

Sounds like the areana the most fascist NHL team would play in. Probably the Canucks or Bruins

My 10th grade bio was in French and my 11th grade in English. I remember the terminology still cause translating everything was hard

Also, there are cis women, born with a vagina, that have xy chromosomes, the same is true for xx men. So, the karyotype means nothing, essentially

We’ll find out she’s a Squib

Well, the entire Harry Potter idea, from the "child born of a witch and a wizard survives the murder of his parents and is left with a mysterious magical mark by their attacker in a contemporary setting" to the fucking name Harry Potter itself is from a 1980s movie called Troll, so in a way yeah she's a "squib" in that she didn't really "conjure up" the setting to begin with.

That one is associated to the first movie roughly by the title alone, far as I can recall.

maybe it'll be the inspiration for Harry Potter 2?
