Apr 11, 2013 8:56 PM GMTBeyond anatomy, define "man" and "woman". I mean what characteristics are intrinsically "female" vs "male"?
I'm often helping my lady friends with some mechanical problem or other and when I fix something in a cinch they ask, "How did you do that?" My reply: "Next time be born with a penis." Of course I'm not serious but it sort of begs the question: How much of gender identity is nature, a product of evolution, how much is nurture or social conditioning?
As for myself, I can be caring, supportive and loving but have few if any "maternal" instincts. I don't find babies cute. Puppies and kittens, yes, babies, eww! -

Very wel thought out answer. I agree, even straight men can have feminine traits but they are hetereosexual meaning non-homosexual so they are out of the equation. However, where does that leave gay men in terms of identity? -

Not sure I understand what you're trying to figure out. We're men who are sexually attracted to other men. Call it "gay" "homosexual" w/e.
Where I get confused is straight men who transgender to female and then identify as lesbians. I once knew such a person. He said he just felt much more comfortable in a woman's body. I couldn't wrap my head around it at all but w/e makes one happy!
PS: Beyond genetics, I have a whole metaphysical theory about why we're gay. If you're interested, email me. -

Male organisms have two sex chromosomes; an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. The Y chromosome contains everything that makes you a male. If you didn't have a Y chromosomes but rather two X chromosomes (one of which is obviously a barr body) there would be no Y chromosome, and therefore no instructions for the male body. In short, if you have male parts, you're male. If you have female parts, you're female. If you have both, you've undergone some sort of mutation.
Homosexuality refers to organisms who are sexually attracted to other organisms of the same sex. It does not mean that the male is "supposed to be a female" or any of that hokum. -

Although that's interesting, it's still impossible for a female to be trapped inside of a male's body, unless you want to start delving into the world of fringe science. -

Certain parts of the gay man's brain are wired/structured like that of straight women (the amygdala for example), but gay men are still men. -

Brain scans have provided the most compelling evidence yet that being gay or straight is a biologically fixed trait.
The scans reveal that in gay people, key structures of the brain governing emotion, mood, anxiety and aggressiveness resemble those in straight people of the opposite sex.
