Is it a shock that the GC understanding of science stopped in the 1950s?

In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

I thought they were stuck in the 1590s?

It is a little shocking that they are that up to date

As with everything GCs does and says, it's all about what the science says and what it can do for them. They do not seek out science for answers. They seek out science to confirm their own beliefs.

I'm more shocked that it didn't stop in the 1850s.

Gc people are very selective in their understanding of science, they ignore most modern evidence until the rare occasion when a report is released which affirms their views, which is then debunked by every major medical organization in the world and then gc's go back to ignoring science again!

In the 1950s, legal gender self ID still existed in the UK.

Well they are proudly remarkably stupid after all.

They’re still stuck on “either or” and have yet to advance to the more complicated stuff.

They still have their hob nailed boots too!

…or in Year 4.

Yeah, how many times have we seen them say that. “It’s basic biology” “Even school children are taught….”

Their entire view on education and expertise is based on GCSE’s being the be all and end all of science.

I wouldn't say that it's necessarily their 'understanding'. GCs going on about chromosomes is more:

"I think group 'A' are disgusting because I'm an actual bigot. What can hide behind to help legitimise that hatred in the eyes of strangers?"

I’ve known this since junior high school I was born in 1953 we were taught this in school . This nothing new to me.

Back in the days when I could give a tinkers toss about attempting to educate them I liked to link to articles of XY Women who have conceived & given birth naturally.
This one was interesting as she had an SRY gene that should mean male genitalia.
