'As a psychotherapist for more than 20 years, to meet and help many Eastern and Western men and women who had emotional and sexual problems due to thyeir conservative and religious upbringing...

A number of psychologists believe that by the time children reach the age of four they have developed a gender identity of being a boy or a girl that doesn't necessarily depend upon the genetic and anayomical sex.'
Nero was the Forum Admin here at Susan's Place for several years up to the time of his death.

QuoteB. Anatomic Sex
When we study human embryology and focus on the week-to-week development of the human fetus, we discover that all fetuses start out as female fetuses. If the fetus has a Y chromosome, after a few weeks of development male hormones kick in and the fetus is gradually transformed into a male. When the fetus has XX chromosomes then the baby develops ovaries, uterus and vagina and when the fetus has XY chromosomes then the baby develops testicles and a penis.
If there are problems in normal development then we have children whose sexual organs are not fully developed and they are called hermaphrodites. In Pakistan they are called hijras and unfortunately are socially ostracized and become victims of prejudice and ridicule,

Idiot screwed that part up. Well-intentioned, but mis-informed.
