Also there is the fact that not all forms of atypical sexual development are really relevant to daily life.

For example it did not surprise me that the woman described in the beginning had no idea about her chimerism - after all her sexual organs were straight female (proved by the fact that she got pregnant, three times), so her blood was probably circulating lots of estrogen instead of lots of testosterone. Sure, her color vision was maybe working at the reduced, male level, but really - it is not that important.

On another note it is worth remembering that in vitro fertilization increases the risks of mosaicism and chimerism.



Yeah, from reading some of the comments here they act like it's the height of inhumanity that places only have 2 bathrooms instead of nine.
