Thank you for such an honest telling of your perspective. It’s very moving. I embrace you.
“that gendered behavior is hard-wired into the brain at birth”
Eli I think here is very careful to say “genes on your Y chromosome that tweaked your brain to some extent”—note the some, he avoids speculating as to how much—and uses the term “emotional architecture” as well as correctly in his comments distinguishing between the terms sex and gender. As a cisgendered F, I hope you will accept my word that Eli is scrupulous in his language here and well-intentioned.
I find neither Robin nor Eli are narrow-minded in these things. I hope you will join the OB community on a regular basis.
