Yep, it requires 46 chromosomes, 23 from the father and 23 from the mother, in order to produce "half a human being" . . . that is, male
or female. The "whole human being" can't really be accounted for except through the unification of both sexes. Hence the notion that the human race is both male and female.
That isn't to say the genetics don't get botched up from time to time either, in which case it might produce a variety of deviations from the standard or ideal. Nor does that suggest anything criminal about it, unless you are prepared to blame nature or, God?
