Most studies on gender behaviour follow preconceived notions of sex. Laid people can still be skilled observers of gender behaviour. While we share thirty thousand genes, less than one percent of those genes differ between sexes, this variation has far-reaching implications. The male brain is wired to understand systems and empathy while the female brain is wired for empathy.
Sex as male and female
Sex is defined as a social construct that is based upon features that allow us to identify ourselves. Different experiences of gender can be influenced by how we express our feelings and what we do.
Assigned sex
Assigned sex is the difference between male and female. It is determined by a number of biological and medical factors. Many people are born as male or female. However, there are some who are intersex. Intersex people have different biological anatomy and are biologically very different from the assigned sex. This is due in part to differences in chromosomes or physiology.
Intersex
Intersex people share the same physical characteristics as both sexes. They might have a different DNA chromosome or genital pattern. They may not have the same conceptions of what a male or a female body looks.
DSDs
Identifying the gender of a child with significant DSDs can be challenging. Even if the genitalia look identical, it can be difficult for a family to determine the correct sex. A medical team will work together with the family in order to obtain information about the child's future. Sometimes, the gender at birth is inaccurate. Sometimes, the gender assigned at birth is incorrect. The child may choose to be a man or woman or neither.
On erotic processing, effects of males and women
Researchers discovered that habituation with erotic stimuli has a negative effect on both subjective as physiological measures of arousal. The subjects were exposed to the same erotic film for four days. The subjects were then presented with different actors who performed the same behavior. Both men and women participated in the experiment.
Influence on Intimate Partner Violence by BPD
In this article, we examine the influence of BPD on the occurrence of intimate partner violence (IPV). In recent years, IPV has been increasing in prevalence. It is important that we understand the factors that lead to it. BPD, a disorder that is marked by impulsivity, may be a contributing factor to IPV. These conditions may be linked by the overlap in ASPD/BPD with borderline/dysphoric types.
