yep
Formal academic training to say stupid things. Original degree was probably in Village Idiocy. I am sure she got a first! She has a great career ahead at University Leeds or possibly in program planning at the BBC.
The process of gender determination during fetal development has been studied for decades and is far more complex than whether the fetus genotype is XX or Xy. The initial early sex determination is caused by the exponential increase in the production of testosterone due to genes activated by the y chromosome. This converts the default female phenotype to differentiate into the male organs and body parts. But fetal development that determines the slight differences between male and female brains and shapes gender identity functions occurs much later and is influenced by complex epigenetic effects not just testosterone. These effects can be triggered by environmental factors in the womb and are believed by some researchers to explain how an anatomical male or female can (rarely) experience gender dysphoria later during normal growth.
I contemplated a career in psychology but when I took college level psychology I realized it's an absolutely bogus profession. They insist a certain condition is an absolute and that such and such a remedy is the cure.
Then they unilaterally declare that they were wrong and that the condition was actually misdiagnosed, etc.
They're frauds. Without exception. Their "practice" is constructed to keep the neurotic coming back in order to milk them for fees.
I consider psychiatrists and psychologists to be every bit as fraudulent as these late night television faith healers who troll for $$$.
And now, as always, these quacks are ruining lives with their demonic level stupidity.
