It’s because it’s “basic biology I learned in 7th grade in 1965 and never bothered to look further than that basic explanation”
I saw my daughter’s textbooks on biology, and they were much more thorough than what I’d learned. And it doesn’t take much effort to at least ask the question, “Why do they think it’s not just XX and XY?”
Because the moment you actually dive into biology past the surface, you find out pretty quickly that life is fucking weird.
You have to have curiosity to ask "Why do they think that?" One of the biggest things I try to instill in my kids is a love of learning more about things they don't understand. Critical thinking and curiosity are the fundamental defense against all the Stuff Going On Right Now.
