Friday May 10, 2019 - 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm


What is gender and why is it not as simple as a binary choice. This session will explore the scientific evidence around gender from the DNA to social behavior around gender. We will look into the vast spectrum of gender and sex identities from basic binary to intersex and conditions like Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. Learn about a region where children are born looking like girls then at puberty develop male sex characteristics. The ingredients that go into determining ones sex and gender are numerous and complex and this session will introduce you to some of the structure.
