"International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and frequent contributor to The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in this fascinating, research-based, scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity"--
Content:
Is our gender something we are born with, or are we conditioned by society? Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today's society. She tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. Debating today's accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, Soh challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate. -- adapted from jacket
