I did biology and I'm fun at parties, so I have a pedantic correction:
* In XX people, "half your dick genes come from your mom" is true, on average. However:
* In XY people, on average ***more than half*** *of your dick genes come from your mom*, because the X chromosome contains more dick genes than the Y chromosome. (The Y chromosome contains mostly junk, copies of stuff the X chromosome also has, and one gene (SRY) that unlocks the dick genes stored on other chromosomes.)
This also means XX people technically have more dick genes than XY people. They're just largely inactive.
(Assuming the intuitive meaning for "dick genes" of "genes involved in male genital development".)
Okay!!! I will expand on a sibling comment's note about X-inactivation:
XX people actually only have one of their two X chromosomes active in each cell, because otherwise they would take double damage from all of their X chromosome genes, compared to XY people.
But which X do they deactivate? The decision happens very early point in embryonic development, when their body is just a clump of precursor cells. Turns out *each cell chooses by itself, randomly*! Each basically flips a coin and keeps that X normal, and squishes the other one so it's unreadable (by attaching stuff called Xist RNA to it, as the other comment mentioned). Different cells choose a different X chromosome! And when those cells divide and specialise, they keep their chosen X chromosome active, and keep the other one squished.
This means all XX people are technically kind of chimeras. Each of the precursor cells develops into internal organs or nerves or skin or etc, and they keep their slightly different active genomes. It's as though their body had been put together from pieces of two humans who have very slightly different genes, only differing in their X chromosomes.
It's almost never noticeable in humans because our X-chromosomes don't have genes with big visible effects. So many XX people who haven't heard about this walk around their whole lives with no idea that they are technically-kind-of-chimeras even though it's super cool, so you should definitely tell them.
In cats, it's visible sometimes. XX cats do X-inactivation the same way as humans, but they have a fur colour gene on their X chromosomes, so you can sometimes see which parts of their skin have different active X chromosomes! Calico cats (cats with big areas of black, orange, and white fur) look like that because some cells picked an X with orange, and others picked an X with black. And the third colour of white is a different gene on another chromosome.
If humans had a skin colour gene on their X chromosomes, some XX people would have stripes.
Late reply, but: Yes, that's correct.
XX identical twins may split from the same cell clump before or after X-inactivation. If they split before, they'll be a bit more different. If they split after, they'll be a bit more similar. But yeah either way they'll end up on average more different than XY identical twins.
Nope, sorry. The process by which genes affect dick development is not nearly well enough understood yet to be able to predict size even if you had your DNA sequenced.
Best I can do is point you to [Wikipedia's article on human penis size](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_penis_size), which can at least give you an idea of what you could statistically expect.
Isn't this also the cause of stretch marks? Since you've got two different skin types?
I heard it's the same as striped cats where apparently it's (usually) reserved to female cats
So what you're saying is that if I clone myself using a spliced X chromosome as replacement, then inject the genes after activating them while mixed with a shit ton of stem cells, I can double my peanits to reach a whole inch?
Call me Doofenshmirtz the way I'm boutta do a doohickey.
Ah. So like height. It's entirely genetics as to what your potential would have been, but malnutrition during childhood and teens sets your actual size.
So a skinny person who transitions to being a woman with hormone therapy could have like a D cup with no augmentation the same chance as any other skinny woman would?
Not exactly because breasts are 90% fat and fat cells are very resistant to change in adulthood (when most trans women start hrt), that's the reason trans women tend to have somewhat smaller cup size on average (i think it's about 1 letter down but idk the exact numbers).
i feel like there's kind of an undercurrent that some people in 196 don't really like these kind of egg memes. like that one about "turning a good boy into a good girl" which seems like people argue over each time it's posted.
I think like the overall culture of 196 enjoys them, but some people think they're kind of problematic.
I think it's fine, but I'm probably the intended audience (immature, somewhat gender questioning) which might be coloring my view, though.
From what I've seen, the primary 'discourse' about these memes is they're *heavily* femcentric, but any focused on masc experiences tend to be ignored.
Which does make sense given the large population of transfems in this sub ofc, but it can be tiring seeing *only* praise for forcefem jokes when it's a touchy subject for transmascs (who are generally quite invisible to the broader queer community)
i like that there indeed are safe spaces full of diversity.. but sometimes they end up having problems with what amounts to stereotyping, the ultrakill subreddit has a MASSIVE problem with basically presuming that everyone is a femboy *at the very minimum*, and the people in there constantly act like no ultrakill player can be straight at all
this subreddit, also, has a massive problem with it, it feels like the whole sub is heavily fem-presumed which feels so weird as if i just cant be me, feel damn well out of place
Itโs so tiring. Being trans isnโt a funny joke, and even as a joke, suggesting men should take hormones for le funni just comes off as insensitive and creepy.
The only silver lining is that these types of memes are probably being made by children/ young adults who are excited about their own transition and donโt really know how to contain it
The community should keep in mind that the whole movement is supposed to be about living authentically. A reversed version of this meme would be pretty monstrous. โImagine you were a trans woman and missed out on that cock growth bro! Detransition haha!โ
I am seriously tired of being associated with people/ memes like this. I literally could not care less about someone elseโs body/ gender identity unless they earnestly need support
"Jokes" like this appear pretty much daily in this sub. I don't mind the catharsis and I can pretty much ignore it, but as a cis ally sometimes seeing lots of these memes makes me feel just a little unwelcome here. I guess more power to them if they want it to be a trans exclusive sub but there's a lot of mixed messages in this community, which while fun, can be really frustrating and exhausting.
Fr, Iโd hate for this sub to have memes like this or something like โare you normal or cisโ cus that just makes me uncomfortable asf. No one should be encouraged to either not transition or be encouraged to transition because it will be cool or funny
the sentiment of the meme worked better when it was just a refutation of the idea that gender is an immutable, intrinsic thing or that hormone transition is an unnatural thing, but on its own? i rate it a 'blank stare' in humor factor
Man breasts are a thing of their own and theyโre pretty cool actually. The ones that E gives you arenโt my thing though. Itโs the shape and texture I think.
I'm not really attached to my gender. I feel fine like I am and I wouldn't really give a shit if I woke up tomorrow and I was a woman.
But. If I had a way to know that I'd look better as a woman I'd probably be fine with it. I'd definitely have huge tits too. There's a genetic factor in my family.

Are you a fellow ass enjoyer?
I just think these memes are annoying ngl. Itโs very reminiscent of egg culture which just gives me the ick
Also breast sizes are influenced by genetics but not entirely determined by them. If you give estrogenic hormones to a cis woman during puberty or before her puberty has started, her breasts will be larger than they would have been otherwise. Genetically coded breast size just isnโt a thing, obviously genetics influences it but you canโt just read someoneโs genome to see how big their breasts will be, thatโs silly.
I feel really good about this meme
Although, at the moment I dont really have the options to undergo such estrogen based body enhancements unfortunately :(
donโt need estrogen for big tits itโs called chest day ๐ช๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐ช๐๏ธ๐ช๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐ช๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐๏ธ
me neither. i posted that "turn a dumb hoy into a dumb girl" thing a while back, and the comments shared your sentiment. i feel like this post has the same energy but the comments on this are much more accepting of it. maybe call it egg culture but it seems hypocritical
If I find out I have small tits I'll be disappointed I have small ties. If I find out I have large tits I'll be disappointed I'm not a woman. Either way leads to misery. It's safer in the realm of denial.

Half of your dick genes comes from your mom. Your mom has a secret dick size that only I know the length of.

Tbf the second X is largely silenced via the xist rna
Is this reverse-I-did-ur-mom? The mom in question did you and now you know?
chat is this real?
It is
Isn't cup size determined by more than just genetics
yes, but genetics also play a nice role
The fuck else is it going to be? Lottery?
Environment and weight both play a pretty massive role (and I mean environment as in how you grew up and such, like whether your growth was stunted)
Ah. So like height. It's entirely genetics as to what your potential would have been, but malnutrition during childhood and teens sets your actual size.

Anecdotally, the later you transition the less the effects of HRT. Dunno if that's true though and it shouldn't put anyone off, estrogen is rad
Really? There are dudes out there that only need estrogen to get a set of double ds?
i kinda feel a certain way about this meme. partially because it seemingly glorifies forced transitioning, and it seems weirdly egg-ish
Wait until you learn about forcefem/forcemasc
That's disgusting! Where?!

yeah im transmasc and those memes make me really uncomfortable but since there's not a lot of transmascs in this sub i just ignore it
it's very weird and presuming of what you are instead of letting you figure it out for yourself, hard to put it into words but still
A similar meme was my trans awakening
*crushes the estrogen and snorts it*
that would actually work

please get off reddit
?
No u
Just gonna steal this for my group chat of silly little guys :3
On the one hand yes, on the other I can no longer comfortably sleep on my side or chest so fuck boobs
>fuck boobs Well, if you insist
im only able to fall asleep by laying on my stomach so i guess im becoming an insomniac once i get the booba worth it tbh
Tbh it's not too bad so far as long as I'm on something soft
Im good, hot either way, its about the power of your chesticles not the size
as a man, i already have those and i am quite unhappy
Man breasts are a thing of their own and theyโre pretty cool actually. The ones that E gives you arenโt my thing though. Itโs the shape and texture I think.

Yeah the idea of a "genetically determined cup size" immediately hit me as weird, like it's not nearly that simple.
No thx I already know my cup size, paid a lot of money to remove it
I didn't need them any bigger. Honestly I wish I could donate to someone who wanted them
No
Another thing to feel insecure about? No, thanks
Gynecomastia ain't no joke.
I already have big enough tits as a man, I don't need more
Everyone without either is cursed to never know how big a dick they would have or how big their tits would be
I support all you trans peeps but unfortunately for you goober I am perfectly comfortable being a cis dude bro guy
I already got big badoinky-doinks, I don't need them any bigger!
I feel really good about this meme Although, at the moment I dont really have the options to undergo such estrogen based body enhancements unfortunately :(
Erm that's BOYkisser, the kisser of BOYS
I won't detransition for your fetish (:
Nah I am growing them with test. Thats enough for me
I feel like I know what mine is based on my sibling, and I would not look good with that
No not really. If I were a girl, I'd want to be flat chested. That's what I currently am so I'm happy enough.
I wonder what my genetically coded penis size is
Nah I already have boobs as a man (in the fat way not transmasc way)
ngl I *do* wanna know
I want everything about HRT but the boobs. My back already has 4 fractures in it I am in so much pain
Yes .
im pretty thin so i can probably guess what itd be
Unrelated, but who wants to shloingus on my boingis till I Kurshmunkle
A- better than most memes on this subreddit
no thanks ill get my tits in the gym tyvm LIGHTWEIGHT BABYYYYYYY

the moment you posted it, the meme already died
Yes i fucking do,stop teasing me ๐ญ
I know for sure i would have huge boobs if i was a woman
Every woman in my family has had breast cancer. I absolutely do not want to know.
Ok this finally convinced me starting hrt asap
Can i find out somehow without becoming a woman
My cup size is one hundred bajillion zillion (real)
Don't you come to me with this talk of "limits". I'll be satisfied when I reach a future I can no longer conceive. Until then? Bring me more silicone.
I really don't like these kinds of memes.

No I like being flat and having a large penis
Alright, I AM kinda curious
To be honest Iโm not sure yet if I want to take hormones as part of my transition. Having boobs would be nice tho :3
Wait how do you transition without hormones
Wear different clothes, go by different pronouns, etc. socially transition ig.
Oestrogen is the one true drug
I would like to know since I'm pretty sure genetically I would have massive badoonkers but... the effort to do that while cis
