As you say doctor.
In fact I believe that man and woman are not at all different. One is "just a hormone away" from the other. Poetically speaking.

The theory of "Brain sex" is still pretty new, but it is being backed up with some pretty strong observations. It could be argued that gender is simply the way we are brought up, and there are plenty of men and women who do not conform to typical "male" and "female" behaviors who have no issue with their identity as a man or woman.

However, here is some pretty strong evidence from studying children that there is *something* to the idea that boys and girls relate to the world in a differing way. Not to mention some gendered behaviors that are held across cultures and times.

Athena: goddess of wisdom, Minerva.
Pretty indepth stuff you are broadcasting, Bionca! I think these things should be made known to as many people as possible. But then only a few can digest this stuff.
People in general are happy go nescient. But the odd thing is that most have got an aversion towards knowledge!!!
Still it is a good thing to try and pass on the information.

By the way, I just remembered something. As embryos, all are born the same. Then after some foetal development, the boys and girls genitalia start to segregate into different organs from the same parent organ. And this much is true:
glans of penis=clitoris
testes=ovaries

Also congrats on reaching the magic number of 41. That is of occult significance in this site.

I didn't really intend to get so "heavy" here, but I'm pleased that it's been so well received. I do agree that most people avoid learning things, particularly things that contradict tradition and time honored beliefs.

One theory as to how a person can have an identity contrary to their sex has to do with hormone levels in the womb after brain development and before sex expression. It is hard to prove because the adults who had been "estrogenated" would have to self-report to the DR conducting the study. It also fails to address transmen, since the same or similar washing of testosterone has not been seen to happen.

so umm... what happens with 41, aside from Life the universe and...everrything?

Everybody knows the magic number is really 42. Ask Douglas Adams.
