Although we’re waiting for the results of the sex determination test that’ll determine Pinki Pramanik’s gender, gynaecologists of are of the opinion that though her condition isn’t rare. Experts are of the opinion that 3% babies born around the world have ambiguous genitalia (male and female characteristics). Normally, when such cases are detected early and hormonal treatments are given to suppress the weaker sexual identity and bring out the more prominent one. It isn’t as easy as just looking at the genitals and declaring a bay – male or female.
There are various ways to determine the sex of a child
1) Genotypically – By studying the genes and looking at the chromosomal structure. Males have XY chromosomes and females have XX.
2) Fenotypically – By studying the outward physical experience (genitalia)
3) Psychotoypically – Here the chromosome structures are usually mixed and the doctors try to determine whether the subjects consider themselves males or females. There are lots of unambiguous individuals who consider themselves to be of a member of the opposite sex in their own heads (like a man trapped in a woman’s body) even for people who are biologically ‘male’ or ‘female’.
And finally there are true ‘hermaphrodites’; individuals who have both sets of genitalia. Doctors feel that Pinki could either be a hermaphrodite (who has both ovum and testis) or be part of the third category. Doctors who have closely followed the case believe it’s not as simple as simply as checking her genitalia. It’s quite possible that Pinki might have female features with male overtones which might mean that an enlarged clitoris will look like a penis. It’s a syndrome quite common in female bodybuilders who load up on steroids (artificial testosterone).
Experts are of the opinion that in both mixed chromosomal and hermaphrodite cases, the true sexual identiy can be determined through chromosomal analysis or through gene mapping. This is called karyotyping and it takes at least three weeks before the result is out because a thorough gene culture is done.
Doctors still don’t know what causes the chromosomal or hormonal imbalance that leads to ambiguous genitalia.

Great items from you, man. I have take into account your stuff previous to and you are simply too excellent. I really like what you’ve obtained here, certainly like what you are saying and the way in which in which you are saying it. You are making it entertaining and you continue to care for to stay it wise. I can not wait to learn far more from you. That is actually a wonderful web site.
Why rot Pinki Pramanik in police custody days after days?
Pinki Pramanik was arrested on the alegation of rape. Rape is a penetrative sex crime. A person may be male but may not capable of penetrative sex and it should not take much time for doctors to come to conclusion whether the person is capable of penetrative sex. Since eminent doctors are still unable to conclude Pinki’s sex, as layman we can conclude that penetrative sex crime may not be possible for Pinki.
If Pinki is not capable of penetrative sex he/she should not be humiliated and kept behind the bar any more. Detailed examination for determining the sex of Pinki may be done later and her fate should be determined as per the law. She may be male, female or of other sex, that cannot be a crime. The only one issue is rape alegation and doctors and administration should only focus on that point. Harassing Pinki is violation of her human right and administration is doing that crime.
It is shocking to see how inhuman, inefficient, substandard and worthless are our senior officials in administration. They have zero contribution for the country but these rogues are able to do lot of harm to the society due to the chair they are holding.
Wonderful comments by Mr Hara Lal Chakraborty on 05 July. This is disgusting and pathetic on the part of the administration to have made Pinki suffer under judicial custody for such a long time . Shameful ..!
Thank you Mr. Singh for your comment on 10th July.
I do not know what authority the administration has to do sex test of Pinki. Even if the result of sex test is there, that should not be published. Sex Test should be restarted only if Sport Authorities (National and International) go to court challenging sex of Pinki. Otherwise authorities should mind their own business and should not unnecessarily disturb the village girl Pinki.
like porn is censored for some age group in the same manner my view should be censored as it causes them feeling like wanting desire sexually which may result in only what dr knows.since i dont know to reply wanting desire to female since they dont deal face to face dealings i am a failure in this subject.my childish love will be rejected by real lover if i see blue.a female called indu subaiya can create rescue love if you mediate with kind request to her.her contact add is.event;axial exchange, united health care may 2012 video..i haved healed myself but is in the situation called sexual suffocation desires which normally happens to school going children i havent got maturity from that stage.i have been misrepresented called avtaars in some religious deeds but is his action were favourable or his deed unfavourble to society that i dont know.i want benefits derived from such act.so i dont like my name its dignity have been defamed by myself and others.now to contine i like to have female avatars the first selected name of female to serve me is designated as Indu subaiya ,united health care.so continue spirit in form of her and me.this time dont go after others but come to serve me.
disease come to me when female is absent and disappears when female comes.everyone had commited some act in which multiple female support is required in form of docter, scientist,lawer,police.,politician,actress,actor,sportsstar.so every subject matter is coming to me.since stories are displayed in movies in my case and they wanted me to come back after retirement.now i come back but next what to do i dont knew.old style name means it will result in political misuse only .only that is happening.but older name have inheritence and whos is robbing whom that i dont know.make dr indu subaiya in my view.so cure takes place.

what makes any difference when he or she is involved in sports
For someone who is going through such problems, getting the problem published doesnot help. This case could’ve been dealt with discretion. Alas
True…gossip creation with factual names is cheap business!
