Can't they just do a test to find out babies' true sex?

Intersex Initiative: Intersex FAQ (Frequently Asked Question...
Medicine cannot determine the baby's "true sex." For example, chromosomes do not necessarily dictate one's gender identity, as it is obvious from the fact that most people born with androgen insensitivity syndrome live as women despite their XY chromosomes. In other words: science can measure how large a clitoris is, but cannot conclude how large or small it needs to be. That is a social determination.

Home pregnancy tests are most accurate about 27 days after conception. This is when a menstrual period is 10 -12 days late. Newer pregnancy tests say you can use them one day after a missed period.

I just had a test. Why do I need another one?

Manatee Diagnostic Center - Frequently Asked Questions

The doctor may have suspected a stomach, colon, or kidney problem and decided to order the must revealing test for their condition. This first test may have come back negative or been inconclusive.

Q20. Can babies have an HIV antibody test?

Frequently Asked Questions - Postive Action for Treatment Ac...
All babies born to mothers with HIV are born with HIV antibodies. If an HIV antibody test was given to a newborn baby, it would not give an accurate result. Babies who are not infected lose their antibodies by the time they are around 18 months old. So it is only after your baby is 18 months old that the HIV antibody test will give an accurate result.

Why can't I just chop up a veggie, or even give it whole?

BARF for Beginners - Most Frequently Asked Questions
The veggies need to be pulped up using something like a blender, juicer or food processor. You are aiming for something a bit like the vegetable matter found in the stomach of a prey animal. The reason for this is that dogs can not digest cellulose. Cell walls of plants are made of cellulose, so for our dogs to get the nutrients out of them, we need to crush the cell walls.

I'm sure you could learn this on your own. I had to learn this all on my own. But the thing is, it takes a whole lot of time and money. I took off work for approximately nine months and researched around the clock to figure it all out. The fact is, there isn't a lot of practical information out there for how to deal with bipolar disorder, so you really have to hunt for it. Working day and night over a long period of time, I am sure that you could learn this all on your own..

Why can't I just represent myself? What can a lawyer do for me?

Michigan Drunk Driving Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
While in theory you can represent yourself, many courts in Michigan will not allow a plea of guilty to a drunk driving case without the assistance of an attorney. Aside from this, the law pertaining to drunk driving is particularly complex. It is frequently re-written (the last time in Michigan being October 1999), and becomes more complicated with each revision. The penalties become more severe as well.

Why can't we just have the measles vaccine?

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions about single vaccines and ...
The Department of Health's policy promotes vaccination for all children against Measles Mumps and Rubella. The NHS offers the triple MMR vaccine, therefore we offer a course of single mono component vaccines i.e. Measles, Mumps and Rubella to protect both your child and other children from these diseases. To not offer all three would lessen overall immunity (herd immunity) in the population and endanger children that have an immune system that does not function properly.

Why can't I just go to an 12-step meeting?

Gaudenzia, Inc. Drug Rehabilitation Center Alcohol Rehab Pro...
step groups are based on a model of peer support. This component is very important to establishing long term abstinence from addiction. Although these groups offer a detailed program for recovery from addiction, many people may still be in need of additional medical, counseling or social services. So although 12 step groups are an important component to recovery, other supports may be needed to address the problems caused by addiction.

A14. Why can't you choose one sex over the other?

soc.bi FAQ section C
Some of us have tried, but why should we? Denying our attraction to one sex or the other hurts. If you ask the question out of innocence (you don't feel this attraction, so why should anybody?) then you're asking us to put away feelings that we cannot and will not live without. If you ask these questions with full knowledge of the issues at hand, then your question is as patently offensive as a white supremacist asking us to choose one race over another.

I can't escape the conclusion that we have been deceived. Is this true?

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you have been misled. Not by people deliberately wishing to cause harm, but by do-gooders who believe too strongly in certain causes and solutions, without realising that the situation has changed rather suddenly. We have seen arm-chair conservationists, who never dive in or work with the sea, travel around the globe spreading fairy tales about marine reserves. We have seen scientists surrendering their reasoning and objectivity to believing strongly instead.

WHY CAN'T WE JUST TEST FOR MUTATED VIRUS?

FIP
The mutation isn't the same every time. There are two viral genes and the mutation pretty much always involves at least one of them but the mutation can occur in any number of places within either of these two genes. There are currently too many possible mutations to develop a meaningful test.

Is it true that abusers just "lose control" and don't realize what they are doing?

Questions about Abuse
No. If abusers were out of control and did not realize what they were doing, then why are the bruises and other signs of abuse in less noticeable places, such as the stomach or the lower back? There would be more domestic violence related homicides as well, if the abuser had been out of control and unaware of his/her actions.

Q4: Is it true that Social Security was originally just a retirement program?

Social Security history Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Under the 1935 law, what we now think of as Social Security only paid retirement benefits to the primary worker. A 1939 change in the law added survivors benefits and benefits for the retiree's spouse and children. In 1956 disability benefits were added. Keep in mind, however, that the Social Security Act itself was much broader than just the program which today we commonly describe as "Social Security.

My hamster just had babies. What should I do?

Kathys Kritters Frequently Asked Questions
Syrian (non-dwarf) hamsters are not supposed to live together as adults. It is particularly dangerous for a father to be in the cage with babies. If you allow this to happen, do not be surprised if the whole litter "disappears" one by one. Despite the fact that dwarf hamster fathers can help raise the babies, the risk of a second pregnancy almost right away is very high, so again, I recommend removing the father from the cage.
