Biological sex is often framed as a strict binary, resting solely on the size of gametes or the homo/heterogeneity of chromosomal pairings. This inclination toward parsimony has, in effect, led to fundamental misunderstandings in the minds of many in the public. We see this effect in the current regression of transgender rights and the institution of public policies that conflate biological concepts (i.e., sex) with social concepts (i.e., gender) in ways that actively harm marginalized communities. The data show that the brains mosaic of feminized and masculinized regions, chromosomal sex, and the bodies phenotype can be disassociated from one another. The current socio-political moment calls on us as scientists and educators to redress these misconceptions to help demythify public discourse.

重新思考性与大脑：如何在神经科学中创造包容性话语

生物性别通常被定义为严格的二元性，仅取决于配子的大小或染色体配对的同质性/异质性。这种节俭的倾向实际上导致了许多公众心中的根本误解。我们在当前跨性别权利的倒退和公共政策制度中看到了这种影响，这些公共政策以积极伤害边缘化社区的方式将生物学概念（即性别）与社会概念（即性别）混为一谈。数据显示，女性化和男性化区域的大脑镶嵌、染色体性别和身体表型可以相互分离。当前的社会政治时刻要求我们作为科学家和教育者纠正这些误解，以帮助消除公共话语的神话。
