And this happens in nature in about 1 in 100,000 people, right?

Try 1 in 4000.

Folks this is good news. It used to be that Doc's would make the sex assignment determination when the child was an infant - only later to find out that they "assigned" the incorrect gender.

Early sex assignment arose in parallel to feminist dogma that promulgated the idea that gender was environmental. Meaning, if you were raised as a boy you would grow into to a boy. This concept was a pillar of feminism.

Of course they were wrong.

Exactly. Environment has its influences too, but male and female brains are gender wired before birth just as are our visible "parts."


Yes, the fact that they don't always match 100% of the time does give a small portion of gays or trans-genders a biological explanation for their predispositions, but only a very small portion.

There was a program about this on the Discovery Channel (or maybe some other channel) a few years ago. It was very sad. A doctor would decide which sex to make the child I suppose because of which was surgically easiest. They interviewed people who had been assigned the wrong sex but had to live with it. One was a male who had been made female because the very small penis had been removed, but was now living with a woman as if they were both lesbians. Heartbreaking!
