Line 13: Line 12:
# all chromosomes inactive, with an X and Y having matching bonds, and the other X having a different bond (xͣxͦyͣ [aoa])

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!)
