Hi there!

Nice to welcome you on chicksdonthavedicks.com.

You might be wondering, what the hell this is all about. And probably rightfully so. If you’re anything like us, you grew up in a world, that was a lot easier to understand and live in. Women didn’t have penises, pronouns were something you learnt in school and had a naturally set limit to how many of them there are and in which way they were to be used…

Now, we don’t deny that there is such a thing as evolution. We don’t deny, that things and ideas change and some things may no longer work and be like they did and were a couple of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors looked at a burning tree after lightning had struck it and had their jaws dropped, proclaiming it must have been an act of some deity, simply because they didn’t know any better yet. However, there is also such a thing as science. Biology, in this case. Biological gender, as it is referred to most often these days, is a quite simple and straight forward thing, actually.

What is a male?

In biology, a male is typically defined as having XY chromosomes, producing so called gametes (sperm) which during reproductive activities (also known as sex) are expelled through an organ commonly referred to as a penis. Male bodies are usually built somewhat strong and robust, evolution saw this as a necessary feature in order to provide males with the ability to defend themselves as well as their tribes/herds.

What is a female?

In biology, a female is typically defined as having XX chromosomes, producing so called ova (eggs) or at least having the basic underlying physiological potential to do so. Typically this is characterised by the presence of ovaries and a uterus, organs vital to mammal reproduction. During reproductive activities, commonly referred to as sex, the female vagina (a tubular, inwards facing organ situated where males would have their penis) acts as a receptical for the male penis. During orgasm the male expels his gametes (sperm) into said vagina. The sperm then travels through the vagina until it reaches the cervix, the gatekeeper to the uterus and the ovaries, if you will.

For a successful fertilization the sperm then needs to penetrate the outer layer of an egg cell and fuse with it, resulting in a so called zygote. This zygote then travels down the fallopian tube and into the uterus, where it will implant itself in the uterine lining (endometrium). In humans, if all goes well and according to plan, roundabout 9 months later a new human being is born, which can then attempt trying to live its life in this crazy world of ours.

Female bodies, in comparison to male bodies, are usually less muscular and do not have the same focus on strength and robustness. Funny enough, they’re equipped with an absurdly high threshold for pain and immense stamina, for giving birth is a process that requires exactly that.

However, as explained above, a very distinct and very visible difference between those two genders is: only the males have penises. In females, where the penis would be on a male body, there is a vagina. This is true for all mammals. As humans are mammals, this also is true for humans.

Or in short:

Chicks don’t have dicks!

Is there really nothing else?

Well…this is, where it becomes difficult and simple at the same time. The short answer is: no, there is really nothing else in regards to actual biological genders.

There are a variety of medical conditions which result in presentations which might differ from what was explained above. It is possible for a human being to have a different chromosome setup than XY or XX. This is known as intersexuality and it’s actually a medical condition and not a third gender. It is also pretty rare: only about 0.02 to 0.05% of all children are born with ambiguous genitals or ambiguous chromosome patterns. There is a variety of different syndromes and medical conditions that are known and accepted as various intersex conditions, most of which are even rarer than that.

So, no, there is really nothing else. The number of biological genders in mammals is 2. Anything else is a medical condition and often quite treatable.
