"In the largest ever genetic study of male to female transsexuals Australian researchers have found a significant genetic link between gender identity and a gene involved in testosterone action."

Hasnt further genetic research been completed at Monash University which confirms and amplifies this research through the investigation of several gene mutations?  I think it was discussed at ANZPATH but don't recall whether this research has yet been published.

Yes there is more (I suggested the news link BTW) but not sure if it is published as yet. I do have Vince's
entire talk as a powerpoint, he gave it too me at the conference. I'm just not sure of how to share it at the moment.

Interesting. This seems to fall in line with what I know about the last generation of my family.
