- A video that attempts to help viewers understand the complex biology related to sex, gender identity, and attraction. Biological sex is explained as a symphony of chromosomes, genes, hormones, gonads, and secondary sexual characteristics. Several scientific studies regarding gender identity are examined to help understand underlying biological mechanisms. Lastly, a polygenic inheritance model is used to elucidate the biology of sexual orientation.
awesome and very informative , thank you
This is a really fantastic video!
Thank you!
Wonderful and informative video! It's great to see the genetic angle. I think the discussion of gender identity can be fleshed out quite a bit with findings from developmental psychology, ethology, and social learning. De Waal has hinted at this recently.
If children are innately oriented to pay more attention to, associate with, and emulate same-sex role models, as studies from developmental psychology seem to indicate, and this same tendency can be observed in other primates and animals, then it seems to follow that there is a gender orientation just like there is a sexual orientation and that gender identity develops over time from this base through observing and learning from same-sex role models. In the case of trans girls, those models would be women, and for trans boys men. In the case of nonbinary people, it would be some kind of mixed or fluctuating preference, or no preference, when it comes to role models.
very interesting channel, the effort put into these videos and the quality of the presentation is amazing
a great video! the only piece that i really wanted to know would be the estimates on incidence of these variations in humans. i understand this data , if available at all, would probably be under-reported or based on small sample sizes, but it would have been interesting to hear
Interesting thought. I agree with you that I'm sure these incidences would be underreported, but probably still valuable as a reference point. I will definitely try to include this information on future iterations. Thanks!
