Document Summary

Is that a boy computer or a girl computer?". We think of young children as neither male nor female because of their voices. Children are more gendered when they are 3-6 than they are later on. When a child is 4, he wants to do boy things and play boy games. The gender vision continues but it is less aware. The science is one thing and the culture is another. If you have a clear gender divide, it means you can change a child from one to another with a direct marker. The assumption is that the male child who acts female will turn out gay. The female child who acts male will grow out of it. The idea of our biological understanding always being shaped by our cultural understanding and our biological understanding not explaining our cultural understanding is confusion. Science enables you to do things and understand things in certain ways.
