Doctors create franken-gina

Well personally i think this is fantastic. I knew about this condition from a psych course once (on sexual intimacy), and a lot of these women go through life not knowing why they couldn't enjoy sex (and actually painful). I believe this was the origination of 'frigid' as well.

Curious... I wonder if they'll be able to use a similar technique for transgender folks.

Maybe i'm wrong on this, but i believe it wouldn't. Stem cells are basic building blocks of cells because they can divide into specialized cells... but it requires DNA from the individual in order to do it. And a transgendered person, still has the chromosomes of their birth sex.

That's why I said a similar technique 😉
Maybe it's possible to culture two XXs for a male to female, at least.

Ah, thats weird.

That congenital thing.... there is no way that can be genetic. How would the bad genes be passed down 😱?

It could be a recessive trait that requires both the father and mother to have the genotype in order for the condition to be expressed. So the person that may have the condition would obviously not be able to pass it down, but siblings of her mother or father, could pass the recessive traits onto others (assuming they siblings themselves don't marry others with the trait either... since then their children could have the condition as well).
 
From the dad for example. You know they contribute to the offspring's genetic makeup, don't you? 😉

Plus, as mentioned above, it could be recessive.
