    And weirdly that statement despite being VERY true also touches on a myth once believed to be legit, but has since been debunked as pseudoscience, that the Y Chromosome was the “True source of human evil”, sadly this was a thing, and it was believed that people with more than one Y chromosome were “Especially dangerous”

    This was also around the time they drilled holes in people’s heads to cure epilepsy, and was based on “It sure is wacky that most people we put in prison are dudes. Obviously maleness in and of itself is tied to evil.”, which itself was based on someone doing a bunch of self-prescribed opium while reading a newspaper.

    I really wish the “Maleness = Evilness” trope was dead, but it’s sadly still around and being used to justify transphobia
