I get the impression I’m being mistaken for someone else in this thread.
If you’re asking about Joemo’s position, my understanding is that they think researchers are incapable of asking people for their assigned sex at birth and this will this draw incorrect conclusions from the data.
The number of people who know about something has no bearing on its relevance. For example, the majority of people live and die without knowing how the internet works, yet it’s indisputably one of the most important pieces of technology to exist today.
I feel like you’re being intentionally obtuse here. Outside of the realm of math, you can’t know anything with absolute certainty. So if you want to phrase things this way, then yes, people know things, but no one “knows” anything.
but not so important dying without ever learning would in any way affect you?
It does affect you. If you experience problematic symptoms and want to determine what the root problem is, how do you go about diagnosing it? Part of the process would include ruling out certain sex-linked diseases based on our best guess at which chromosomes you have.
I see. You’re using a different definition for the word “affect”. In the future, you should consider properly defining words if you want to use them differently from the rest of the English speaking population. Otherwise you’re just wasting everyone’s time.
Edit: I’m happy to continue the discussion, but only if you’re willing to have the discussion instead of throwing non-sequiturs at me.

You don’t have the data you claim to. No one gets their karyotype tested.
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. Is that not exactly what I said?
If know one knows that bit of information, how can it possibly be relevant to anything?
The lot of us live and die without knowing it.
So you know, but you don’t know, and it’s important info, but not so important dying without ever learning would in any way affect you?

Not if you can live and die without ever knowing what your karyotype is it doesn’t.
