A really good article, IMO.  It does also illustrate how even science has changed over the years.

No two ways about it, this stuff is complicated, and I think fascinating.  Mother /Father nature has a mean sense of humor.

 

 

 

Yes that was a pun!!

That’s a pretty cool article. I love the idea that sex sexuality and gender are all a spectrum and not finite. It just makes too much sense to not be true.

This really does help illustrate the point but I was almost expecting the article to go into much more detail, and really wanted them to say that they had also done dna tests that gave some surprising results to already sexed skeletons. I’m sure there are some examples out in science but I really would love to see them brought to light more.

I think the article was meant as a summary for general audiences.  She has a web site, so it may be possible to e-mail her and obtain more references and links to her own research if you are interesting in digging deeper (pun intended).

I’m very interested in it! I will see if she can answer any of my questions. It’s fascinating!
