The full article is available for those interested. It is good to have a synthesis of all the science to date on the biology of gender identity.

Interesting..
My carry angle is almost like 30% which is so female.. upper range.
Also my ring finger index is about 1.04 to 1.07 way female.
I wish I knew what happened but what is most important is to know it did happen and that can be proven by our actions.
I think most that want to act as if its a choice do so because of religious thinking not able to accept that we could be born a certain way
Its also so ignorant.. about as ignorant as pretending evolution does not exist..
Its fortunate that young people today are more understanding which will lead to a more understanding world one day.
What amazes me is how we know.. and from a young age.. It really shows that men and women are born different.
