Moir and Jessel devote quite a few pages on this problem. The problem is
most common in Haiti and D. Republic. Moir discusses how these children
develop mentally. By the way, Moir is a geneticist.
The doctor on the program averaged 2 surgeries per month. But he like the
majority of people have been brought up to believe that male/female
behavior is socialized not strongly innate.
I recommend you check out this book, Diane. I heard this week that a new
book called "Sex on the Brain" came out in August. I really believe you
will be hearing more on this subject of neuropsychology differences between
men and women in the near future.
