== Apparent Gender At Birth ==
== Apparent Gender At Birth ==
People with all chromosomes either active or inactive tend to have much more ambiguous genitalia at birth. All chromosomes active tends to lead to fully dual genitalia at birth, and possibly development of secondary gender traits for more than one gender at puberty. All chromosomes inactive tends to lead to underdeveloped genitalia at birth, and minimal development during puberty. Development during presentation is usually normal, but does not erase the unique development during puberty. These people tend to be more androgynous than other chromosome combinations. Because they are epicene at birth, these gender-dynamics are called 'Male Epicene/Female Epicene' in medical literature, but are not distinguished from 'Male/Female' in popular culture.
People with all chromosomes either active or inactive tend to have much more ambiguous genitalia at birth. All active tends to lead to fully dual genitalia. All inactive tends to lead to underdeveloped genitalia.
 
The term 'intersex' is not used in my omegaverse, but conditions that our Earth would consider intersex still exist. Hormone insensitivities are possible, as well as chromosome variations. Genitals can develop differently than chromosomes suggest for a variety of reasons. There are even omegaverse-specific disorders of sexual development, though I will leave those for someone more knowledgeable to design. ''But please note that epicene people are NOT intersex! Intersex activists have requested that fantasy biology, including SPECIFICALLY omegaverse biology, not be called intersex. Dual genital, dual sex, or ambiguous genitals are all terms that can be used.''
 
== Reproduction ==
A female/female couple has 85% change of having a girl, an 11% of having a boy, and a 4% chance of having an epicene kid.
 
A male/male couple has 81% change of having a boy, an 13% of having a girl, and a 6% chance of having an epicene kid.
 
An epicene/epicene couple has 50% change of having a boy, an 34% of having a girl, and a 16% chance of having an epicene kid.
 
Male/female couples have much more even distributions, with female kids being slightly more likely, and epicene kids averaging out at around 5%. (Though I haven't finished the male beta data.)
 
A Male/epicene or female/epicene couple have around a 13% chance of having an epicene kid. A male/epicene couple has a 62% chance of having a boy, and a 25% chance of having a girl, and a female/epicene couple has a 57% chance of having a girl, and a 30% chance of having a boy. (Also may be affected by the male beta data. There are a LOT of male betas!)
 
== Summary ==
These are the gender-dynamics different chromosome combinations are grouped under. Image shows the same information as the chart.
