Fan reactions to Starfleet Academy's female Jem'Hadar/Klingon hybrid character

So, those genetic engineered male Jem'hadar in 24th century are sterile? And my 2nd question is, can they cross breed with different species, like, for example female Klingon? If so, then Are Romulan, Klingon, and Jem'hadar came from the same ancestry? Because cat definitely can't cross breed with a dog. But we have Romulan-Klingon character in TNG and now Jem'hadar-Klingon character in Academy. Or maybe this Jem'hadar-Klingon hybrid is born with the result a genetic engineered technology that make the two species to breed. Dunno.

My 3rd question is, Jemhadar has a short life. So, would she die in about 11 years or something, like her ancestor?

Question -are Jem'Hadar genetically engineered whole cloth or from a base species? If the later, then reproduction is a non issue as is the age.

Though, reproduction is a non-issue in Trek. Paris could reproduce with Kes, and that offspring was not sterile. A Cardassian could reproduce with a Kazon.

So, Male Gen. Engineered Jemhadar from 24th century is sterile or not? If not, then a male Jemhadar can just procreated with a female Klingon. And viola, all the question answered

Males from the Dominion might be. Or they just don't care because of their engineering. Sex is a distraction for a warrior.

The Jem'Hadar are made, not "domesticated", or modified natives, as the Founders themselves explain. The Founders go great lengths to create and indoctrinate/program them under tight control, even bringing their labs close to the danger zones to do so. So, they don't let them reproduce only to cull them or prod them to procreate more- the whole operation is very tightly controlled and kept to real-time needs only.
In that view, it seems to me that it would have been self-defeating to make them capable of, or eager to, reproduce sexually in the DS9 setup.
On the other hand, you may remember that in TNG, the Creators did shine some light on the uncanny fundamental similarities between very far away species, very dissimilar in appearance.
Of all this we can conclude that with some committed genetic engineering, a lot of functions can be turned on and off atop common fundamentals. A civilisation advanced enough can cross-breed and repurpose just about any stock from the original structures, and can even graft any or all their genes onto a robotic or synthetic species, see the Borg and Mr. Data.
Since in theory all is possible, it comes down to qui bono, who benefits, why and how.
The real challenge to stubborn all-time dual-gendered species comes with the non-corporeal species, such as the Q and the Prophets... </end opinion disclaimer>

Well we're talking about a Jemhadar from the 32nd Century. No idea what "upgrades" have been introduced to the species since the 24th Century. Perhaps with the defeat of the Dominion, the Jemhadar have been granted the freedom and autonomy to pursue their own "upgrades" including sexual dimorphism.

The Progenitors and the Founders (In their solid form) look very similar. So the Founders may be the last remnant of the Progenitors or perhaps the closest thing to the original "blueprint."

The Founders are fond of genetic engineering, creating the Vorta and the Jemhadar Though I don't feel either one was created from whole cloth. I think the Jemhadar are genetically modified Tosk,
 
Who says this character was conceived by making whoopie? It’s totally possible she was cooked up in a lab herself. I mean, if you can create an entire species from scratch in a lab, then it’s even more believable—especially 1,000 years later—that you could whip up a hybrid alien and give them whatever sex you want.

TL;DR: I think she’s a lab creation.

Progenitors, you're right, my bad
