Unfortunately it is not, yours however is uninformed. One doesn’t measure genetics in meters of DNA. The difference between chimps and humans is just 1% of genome, and their difference are not mostly cultural because they have almost identical DNA. Genetics is so complex that changes in a single gene can have enormous difference in the physiology of a system.

There are a lot of misconception about genetics and males/females differences, such that their differences are almost all cultural. Mainly because people confuse sexes and genders

Thanks for bringing it up, I didn’t want to be “that guy”… People think as if complexity of genetics is measured in meters of DNA. When they’ll find out that humans and chimps share 99% of DNA

We are talking of a case that, if true, would be a biological difference.

Sex is not irrelevant, and thinking that talking about biological differences is done to invalidate trans… I mean, it’s a problem of the reader biases. The downvoters should think twice that the world is not made of people trying to invalidate trans people. I am fine with whatever a trans person does. Also because many trans people have biological characteristics that can be in between. Biologically, trans people are a universe of biological differences, they are not a single bucket. If I had to talk about trans people, I’d talk about trans people.

I have no idea if there is a difference in orientation abilities but if it exists, it would clearly be biological. I am happy it is a urban legend.

But nowadays too many people claim that male and female are identical with the exception of the penis. And it is pretty dangerous. Any trans person who transitioned can say how different their bodies and feelings are by just changing the amount of few hormones.

The fact that my comment has as many downvotes as upvotes demonstrated that the fact that biological differences exists are not so well known

Your assumption is that all meat tastes the same. Try eating a free range Argentinian steak and a cheap Tesco value steak… They are not the same.

I cannot judge grown meat, but meat taste greatly varies

That is scientifically untrue. Male and female have very different biology, this is why diseases have different distribution, and drugs different effects. Biological differences are the vast majority, and can be easily studied statistically

There are also cultural differences. But saying that most or all differences are cultural is pretty dangerous.

Edit. Corrected wrong edit
