Musk believes you can change chromosomes from XY/XX to ZZ/ZW/ZO but apparently that same technology can't go from XY to XX?

Maybe hes holding off on recognising trans people until gene therapy technology gets there 
when the enbies invent new chromosomes 
i’m changing my chromosomes to UWU
There are only two genders: uwu and owo
Karyotype: 47, UWU. Diagnosis: Smol Bean syndrome
Back in my day enbies stuck to not being binary, but now those nerds aren't even triniary or quartenary
the entire alphabet flows in my veins 
"Am I a man who dreamed I was a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming I am a man?" -Musk, emerging from a k-hole.

He has that toddler face thing going on where they haven't learned to keep their mouths entirely closed yet, so they just go around looking like that. He looks like he's standing in the doorway to your bedroom at 3 am to tell you he threw up
Omg you're right. He also does the pucker thing that Trump does. What the hell is up with that.
That's what they react you at standing school.
"ah, but the butterfly would still be the same sex, as I don't know at all how butterfly sex is determined"
Do trans bees pose a risk to the normal bees? Should trans bees be granted entry into the hive??? Why are we letting trans bees participate in polination? Their transness lets them fly faster, it isn't fair!!!

Good news, we can be bees.
Apparently mothman exists in the K-hole.
Everything changes except capitalism, gender, family
... but butterfly?It's absolute nonsense on the highest level.
There's an interesting frontier of microbiology/genetics/biochemistry where microRNAs (this is, of course, miRNA not mRNA (not to be confused with siRNA or RNAi)) are responsible for some functions of fetal development in vertebrate limbs (Harfe 2005). There's a bunch of your DNA that doesn't code for any proteins. So we were all "it's a bunch of junk and no longer functioning, ancient retroviruses!" but then it turns out some of it codes for little snippets of RNA that have affects that are (were?) not well understood. It's not really here nor there but it's interesting enough and it's part of what immunized me against the absolute drivel that comes out of people's mouths when it comes to RNA.
I wonder if in another life Elon would have just been an kinda annoying but mostly harmless furry.

He has promised there will be space butterfly MEN, not woke trans butterflys mind you, on Mars within 5 years.
