Document Summary
You are born male or female in body and brain if all goes well. But if that doesn"t happen you may not be completely sexually differentiated. There is some incompleteness of the brain in sexual differentiation in sexual dysmprohic areas of the brain structural differences in gay men and gay women verse their straight counters. The things that happen to make you fully your ender- don"t happen properly prenatally the bran is altered and becomes slightly sex atypical. Prenatally men have to be defeminized and masculinized- physically and in brain. Fetuses will come out morphologically female if this does not happen. But think there are genes coding for this. As female opposite you get defeminized and masculinized somewhat. There is incorrect use of prenatally available hormones leading them to be slightly defeminized and masculinized. Organizational activational hypothesis: organized prenatally activated at puberty when we start being interested in people as sex objects.
