serious question: could this entire "gender" confusion be explained as the individual personalities? like female with masculine personality?
Unlikely. Connection to sexuality unclear but well evidenced. Also differences in white & grey matter distributions & genetic evidence
-
-
but is there a genetic connection to personality?
-
Of course, but not the same thing. Trans women found to have grey & white matter distributions closer to that of men than of women.
-
Also longer version of a receptor gene which inhibits testosterone.This is not just personality but specifically to do with gender/sexuality
-
Which is not to say that the intense focus on gender identity isn't leading ppl to associate all kinds of preferences & behaviours w/ gender
-
And rather than say 'my preferences are more similar to that common for the opposite sex in this area', some say 'I must be that gender.'
-
Even tho we overlap hugely & some studies have shown that only 8% of people are gender typical in every noted area of average difference.
