In a previous post — the one about the Genetics Behind Sex Determination and Differentiation – one reader left a comment that induced me to remove a sentence.
The reader took issue with my statement that human gonadal sex develops as a spectrum. He commented that as this is in "deep dispute," I should not represent my opinion as scientific fact. It was based on these comments that I removed my statement about human gonads developing as a spectrum.
But I didn't do it because I changed my mind. I removed the statement because the comment was important and my response to it would have been more explanation than I felt I could make in the comments section.
Fortunately, the explanation fits nicely into the theme for a post that I have been wanting to write about for some time. So this will be a "combination post," providing a discussion about the spectra of gender, sexual orientation and biological sex and a more complete reply to the comments from the post mentioned above.
