Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that Erin has made a social transition and is preparing to receive sex-reassignment surgery suggests that she identifies as a gender that differs from the sex she was assigned at birth. Brain scans have indicated that she has some neural tracts that differ from those of men and women whose gender identity matches their birth-designated sex, which supports the idea that gender identity is a complex interplay between biological, environmental, and social factors. It is not implied that she was born with too much testosterone, reached puberty at a late age, or suffers from an intersex disorder.
