Until recently, it was assumed that without active exposure to proteins such as SRY, a foetus would develop with ovaries, a vulva and a uterus - that "female" is the default, and is passive. However, this might not be the case.
An experiment by Zhao and colleagues, published in 2017, found that in mice, the process of eliminating the mesonephric ducts was an active process requiring a specific protein. Without this protein, the ducts would persist.
The Epoch Times is under investigation for money laundering, but the site's role in spreading anti-trans misinformation has gone unmentioned in mainstream coverage of the case.
An Epoch Times link that showed up in a story for the Atlantic is a particularly clear example of the laundering process on trans stories that goes fringe right -> far right -> mainstream.
