    The He-Man series back in the 80s always ended with little moral quips, so this is mimicking that.

    The fact is that all fetuses start off assuming female, and then the presence of certain chromosomes trigger male anatomy.

    Hence all males being trans if life starts at conception, as at X week development shifts to generate the male oriented organs.

    At least that’s my understanding of this meme…

      presence of certain chromosomes

      well, the presence of certain hormones that are usually regulated by some genes on certain chromosomes

        And the reception of those hormones, which may not exist or may not be functional for some people.

        Turns out making beings out of trillions of cells of 100s of types (all of which have basically the same 3 or 6 billion base pair genome, yet have to act very differently) is complicated and any process has many steps, which involve various genes, receptors, signals, etc, all of which could be interrupted.
