Complimentarian Genetics 101
Based on 1 Timothy 2:9-15 and what we know from biology, the following is Complementarian Genetics 101:
The “x chromosome” carries the “deception gene.”
The “y chromosome,” however, carries the “anti-deception gene.”
So if a person has two x chromosomes, and is therefore a female, they are by nature and physiology “[completely] deceivable” (εξαπαταω).
However, if a person has one x chromosome and one y chromosome, and is therefore a male, they have a genetic defense against being completely deceived.
It is for this reason that only those with both an x and a y chromosome are to be entrusted with positions of authority in the church, and only they can teach both men and women.
And I would ask: If this is not Complementarian Genetics, why isn’t it?

Using similar logic, sin nature is conveyed to a child via the X or Y chromosome that the father contributes.
Proof??
Jesus was the only sinless human that ever existedd He got His mother's X chromosome and the Y cane from His father.
So complementarians really don't want to bring up Biblical genetics.
Furthermore, one of the X Chromosomes is inactivated becoming a barr body leaving famales with only one X chromosome/cell and no messy Y to deal with.
