23andme for trans people? I convinced my friend to take a 23andme dna test for fun (she was born male, but now identifies as female), and her results came back with a Y-DNA haplogroup and only one X chromosome. This was really problematic for her and made her feel uncomfortable. Does anyone know if 23andme makes any accommodations for trans people? Has anyone here had any experience with it?
What it means

A screenshot of a Reddit post asks whether 23andMe accommodates transgender people after a trans woman supposedly receives results showing a Y-DNA haplogroup and only one X chromosome. The joke is that the results merely reflect her biological sex, while the overly earnest question treats this ordinary genetic information as a customer-service problem. It is shared as an absurd, satirical reaction to misunderstandings about gender identity and genetics.
