In addition to my chosen profession, I have a degree in Chemistry with an extensive background in Anatomy & Physiology.
Stay with me, there's a point here!
All fetuses start out as females. Part way through pregnancy there is a Testosterone Wash that occurs. This causes the transformation from Female to male for the fetus.
If there is no Testosterone Wash, the child is born a FM. If there is, the child is born a male. With the Testosterone Wash the clitoris changes to the penis.
It's been a while, but stay with me. This has bothered me since I was 19 in Anatomy & Physiology...
I've seen many posts about a spectrum of T/G.
If a fetus receives an "incomplete" Testosterone Wash would that make them more likely to portray feminine traits OR in the case of a female baby if she received more testosterone than estrogen would that make her more likely to display masculine traits?
The TW would explain the range of people and personalities on this board -- from very feminine GG's to CD's to TS pre & post-op to TM.
This has bothered me for years and I can't believe no one has researched it!
What do you think?
