RE: Psychology Addict # 30 | What Makes a Boy a Boy & a Girl a Girl?

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

The studies about our naughty little cousins are quite interesting!

My positive words for Camille and her family would be: "Hi Camille, you're such a sweet little lady" and "Good job for letting your child be what it wants to be"! 😊

It is indeed amazing that children as young as 2-3 are able to express their gender event though the androstadienone study showed that their "biological awareness" (if I can put it that way) is not as developed yet.

I guess that, by now, you must have realized what topic I can't skip in almost any of my comments. Here it comes - in tango, I like to lead (traditionally male role), but I also like to follow (traditionally female role)! 😄

We would all be much happier if we could accept all of our and other people's roles. After all, does it really matter who is who?

Thank you for (yet another) great post!

Hello my Dear @lifenbeauty :))

It is always so nice to read your comments! As you constantly manage to convey positivist :) Look at how you start this one :)) Yeah, they are lovely, little things. Studies with infant primates always make me smile. They are mental!! So, glad to hear you enjoyed reading about them!

As I have been saying throughout the comments, this is new territory for me (transgender kids) and coming across that study - the hypothalamic response in prepubertal boys and girls -makes me think that what Camille is going through is largely to do with environmental influences. But more research need to be conducted in this filed, for sure!

Ahahahah I love to hear about your tango @lifenbeauty! And I just love the smart way you managed to fit it into today's topic!! :D Also, isn't it interesting how we always come to acceptance in the end? In order to fight discrimination, to feel peaceful etc...?

Oh, by the way, loved your article on the experiments! Little Albert experiment is just unbelievable!! Those behaviourists!!

Have a wonderful day my dear :)

Thank you for the beautiful words, @abigail-dantes, I really appreciate the way you truly and cheerfully connect with fellow Steemians! 😊

It's lovely that you noted my mentioning of acceptance in conclusions of my comments. (Self-)Acceptance is something that I've been working on and trying to apply more and more over the past year or two, so it's always in my constantly working head. : )

Thank you for supporting my article, I've been fascinated by those experiments for some time now.

Have a wonderful day(, week, and life), my dear friend! : )
