KEY CONCEPTS• Chromosomal Abnormalities
• Errors in cell division lead to extra or missing chromosomes• Turner’s Syndrome (X Ø) Ø)• Trisomy X Syndrome (XXX)• Klinefelter’s Syndrome (XXY or even XXXY)• Supernumerary Y Syndrome (XYY)
• Hormonal Abnormalities• It’s the ratio of androgens/estrogens that make us male/female• Androgenital Syndrome (too much androgen)• Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (normal androgen, body can’t use it)
• Gender Identity and Gender Of Rearing• The “Creation” Of Gender Identities• When Gender “Creation” Doesn’t Stick
