Homosexuality and gender identity confusion

[gabosaurus]

There was an interesting TV program on Friday (I think it was 20/20 on ABC) that discussed what is known as gender identity confusion. It talks about children who are physically born as one sex, but have the behavioral traits of the opposite sex. Such as those physically born as male, but with the behavioral traits of female. It is a genetic disorder.
It was interesting to see a topic on network TV that I have actually done work and research on in psychology classes. Further proof of gender confusion as a work of genetics.

Genetics somehow implies science and you should know, gabby, the con's here aren't into science at all.

I think your assessment is off base...your description only fits a couple of the posters here.

and that was necessary why?

So to even remotely discuss this we automatically imply that a male bodied person has to act one way and a female bodied person has to act another way ..right? i mean women stay at home, cook and clean, act all femme, and wait till there husbands come home so they can get beat...right?
Men (Husbands) have to be really masculine , always be in charge and incontrol, and if it was any other way they are some kinda faggot or something ...right??

its amazing that we can go about challenging culture and society, but never science ..haha

A 9-item gender identity interview was administered to 43 girls with classical CAH ranging in age from 3–18 yr, 7 tomboys, and 29 sister control girls. Groups were compared on total score and on individual items

Well I can't get two of your links to work, but did see the above one.

Exactly what kind of 'science' is this? There is nothing in the short article above that talks about scientific facts. A "Gender Identity interview" with 3 year olds? What the fuck is that?

Inquiring minds want to know: How do you conduct a gender identity interview with a three year old and call that science with a straight face?

I think the description doesnt describe anyone here. Apparently having healthy skepticism and requiring further investigation rather than just blindly accepting whatever scientific theory is the fad today is "not being into science."

Id like to know how interviewing a 3 year old is science.
