@enchroma: 🌸 Did you know women can be color blind too? 🌸 While color blindness is much more common in men, women aren’t immune—and here’s why: 🧬 Genetics matter: Red‑green color blindness is usually caused by a recessive gene on the X chromosome. Men (XY) need just one affected X to be color blind. Women (XX) must inherit that gene on both X chromosomes—which is rare. 📊 By the numbers: ~1 in 12 men are affected. Only about 1 in 200 women experience red‑green color blindness. 👁️ Other types like blue‑yellow color blindness don't follow X‑linked inheritance, so they affect women and men equally—but they’re much less common. As we spotlight #ColorBlindnessAwarenessMonth, let's remember that color vision deficiency isn't only a male experience. Early detection and awareness help everyone get the support they deserve.
