Talk:XX

xx symbol also represents peace

xx symbol also represents peace or safe —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.48.99 (talk) 01:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC) I think it could also mean death kind of the cartoon connotation of death. They put XX's on the eyes to mean death or knocked out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.24.176.220 (talk) 01:46, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Inclusion of Female

@Redrose64

Hi, I don't want to edit war with you, so I hope we can have a productive conversation. Your recent edit summary is correct in that "XX" and "female" do not entirely encompass each other. However, I think disambiguation pages should be as complete and accurate as possible, and as such I have listed several different cases of XX in the context of genetics. One of these is Female, an article which in its lede states, "Most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes." As search terms, to me it just makes sense for XX and XY to have blue links to Female and Male respectively to comprehensively reflect genetics and biology, alongside some of the rarer genetic disorders that I have taken the liberty of compiling (along with other disambig. pages I updated at X0, XO, XXX, ZO, ZW, and ZZ).

Thoughts? TNstingray (talk) 02:58, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

The page already has

• XX chromosome, in the XY sex-determination system

and

• XX chromosome, in the XO sex-determination system

it doesn't need female as well particularly since the term "XX" is not mentioned at all in that article. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation#What not to include. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 13:27, 28 January 2023 (UTC)

@Redrose64. Most female mammals, including female humans, have two X chromosomes. This is in the lede of the article. It would be helpful to list this as this is the designation for the typical female organism under both the XY and XO sex-determination systems. Essentially, this dab page should list the two systems, and then the corresponding articles describing the biological instances that the code "XX" is represented: female, de la Chapelle syndrome, gonadal dysgenesis. This is about aiding the user who searches for "XX". For both this and your reversion on X (disambiguation), could you kindly point me towards the specific point you are referencing at WP:DABNOT/MOS:DAB? TNstingray (talk) 19:47, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Not all females are mammals. I already supplied a link, Wikipedia:Disambiguation#What not to include. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:33, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

@Redrose64 What does that even mean? Of course not all females are mammals. How about you actually respond to my points instead of strawmanning. XX refers to biological females under both XY and XO sex-determination systems. That should be listed. I asked for the specific point you are referring to on this page. The closest item I can find is perhaps WP:DABACRONYM, which as of now stands in my favor. TNstingray (talk) 00:38, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Did you follow the link? There are several relevant paragraphs, for excample Include articles only if the term being disambiguated is actually described in the target article. In this case, it is not, so your addition is not valid. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

Recently added to Female#Genetic determination: females have XX (as opposed to XY in males) sex chromosomes. The term "Female" has many nuances, but one common meaning is "having XX chromosomes", especially as that article is specifically about biological sex rather than gender identity.

Exactly. That's all I'm emphasizing, and it would follow the exact same format as the dab page XY. I'll allow final thoughts until tomorrow morning, but I think the course of action is crystal clear. TNstingray (talk) 14:13, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
