    Ha! I almost put that info in my post. But, also you got the fact wrong.

    No XX people don’t see more color vibrantly, but XY are indeed more likely to be color blind. But honestly the rate at which XY chromosome men are more color blind is nowhere near the amount of guys that can’t tell the difference between colors. Absolutely more men are red-green colorblind due to heredity, but that doesn’t explain why the majority of men claim to not be able to see the difference between all sorts of different color sets that are similar.

    I mean come on, stop and think why this even got posted. It’s a well known trope that isn’t explained by a few % more XY people being colorblind.

        Thats a cool and valid anecdote! I, myself, am AMAB and can differentiate between colors super well. Hopefully my anecdote can help balance our your a bit -
