Well Gabor smashed this one out of the park at our latest https://metabolicduo.com/ session, as always! Now you can sort out the science from the nonsense on this question... :-)

0:00.0 | So, yeah, today we'll do something a little controversial. |
0:02.6 | Gabor had the idea of looking at the scientific side of the what is male and what is female. |
0:08.6 | We won't get too caught up to the politics, but I guess it might come up. |
0:12.0 | And I thought if people want to ask about other things that are inherently controversial in nature, |
0:17.2 | you know, maybe we could answer with our thoughts on such other things. |
0:21.4 | So especially themed session, I think, would be fair to say. |
0:25.8 | So I guess, Gabor, I let you take it away because you've pulled together some of the biological |
0:31.5 | realities around this male-female conundrum. |
0:35.2 | Yeah, you see my screen now. |

1:34.8 | So a few discoveries actually date back to 1990 and the early 90s, a few key discoveries. So what we know now is quite different to what we |
1:48.4 | knew like 40 years ago. And why is that? I will try to show that. So why the sudden interest? |
1:57.5 | And as you can imagine, suddenly we have millions of, millions of experts sharing |
2:02.4 | their thoughts on what certain individual looks like and others from different sports events. |
2:10.3 | And if they should be banned, they should be kept in because of inclusion policies and whatever. |
2:18.3 | Immediately had a sense of something going wrong on the science side, |
