01/17 Gender Identity Crisis
Quote From: markangelocAlthough transsexuality has been lumped in the psychological arena, we fail to see that the weight of scientific evidence demonstrates it has a biological origin. one out of 100 babies are born with some form of gender/sex identity anomoly, or incogruency. Gender and sex have two distinct meaning. Gender refers to the biological hard wired information that is pre programed at 8 weeks time. Sex refers to the secondary characteristics, the physical components we see, such as the gonads, reproductive organs, and genitals. If all goes well our gender and sex should be aligned. The gender and sex spectrum is rather complex. It is not only ignorant but neive to think that if you were born with a penis you are a male or a vagina, you are a female. What would you identify if you were born with both, partial or none? Gender lies in the brain, and not psychologically speaking, but hormonal and receptor configurations. Please do the research it there. We are not our genitals, our genitals are a matter of fact and not considered our identity. How superficial can we get.
Mark Angelo Mark, You rock, i've been to your web site and i would love to come and bend your brain sometime too! Alas one day i'll make that trek.... until then keep up the good words here on this board i've read many of your comments and your replies run in the same direction as mine. Cameron, hang in there Bro there are alot of brothers who were there with you and it has to be done for you, not them. Maybe sometime you can come to Southren Comfort Conference and meet some of us FTMs that are in the same boat with you. You are not alone and BTW your cute now your going to be handsome as a Man.
