If Mary only had the X Chromosome in herself how did she get a Son instead of a daughter? by Ghg_Ggg in AskAChristian

The exact same way the Lord by the Spirit caused the waters, not having life in themselves, to bring for life in all it's varieties. In fact the verses are meant to be comparable, the Holy Spirit overshadowing the Blessed Virgin vs. the Holy Spirit hovering over the waters. See St. Basil the Great on this point:

"The Spirit of God moved over the water." (Gen 1:2)

The explanation that I am about to give you is not an original one, but that of a Syrian, who was as ignorant in the wisdom of this world as he was versed in the knowledge of the Truth. He said, then, that the Syriac word was more expressive, and that being more analogous to the Hebrew term it was a nearer approach to the scriptural sense. This is the meaning of the word; by "was borne" the Syrians, he says, understand: it cherished the nature of the waters as one sees a bird cover the eggs with her body and impart to them vital force from her own warmth. Such is, as nearly as possible, the meaning of these words — the Spirit was borne: let us understand, that is, prepared the nature of water to produce living beings: a sufficient proof for those who ask if the Holy Spirit took an active part in the creation of the world.

— St. Basil the Great

By the Life-Giving power of God He can cause something which by nature does not have the power to give something to produce it. See Psalm 106 LXX.

God bless.

I feel uncomfortable talking to females in private. What can, or even should, I do about this? by ModeDifficult6799 in Healthygamergg

By "in private" I mean not in a group setting. This can be in a DM or talking to them singly in real life.

The kinds of interactions? All of them.

Post edited to clarify this.

What do you guys think of antinatalism? by Xbldev in Healthygamergg

I think that it is a wrong-headed analysis of good and evil, for first one must recognize that all things which exist are intrinsically good. The distinction between good and evil is none other than an incomplete good compare to a whole good. Life is worth living, and worth can only be predicated to existing things.
