Men and women are two absolutely different species. The main difference is biological one, however, there are also the psychological issues. Having different sex organs, men and women think differently, their behavior is various as well. Trying to define the nature of gender, the primary sex identities are to be considered. Moreover, it is important to remember other signs of gender which occur in the human organism, chemical and biological processes.
Even though a person has wrong sex organs, the chemical processes which occur in their organism will define his/her gender. Therefore, the psychological gender identity is a result of the biological processes. I am sure that gender is a product of biology. People are born with specific biological characteristics and when people start changing the particular signs the problems appear. Much research has been conducted n the sphere and the common question has not been achieved.
However, the first reading titled states that “the difference between boys and girls can be traced to a single chemical source: testosterone” (Blum). Depending on the activities people perform and their thinking processes the level of testosterone may be either higher or lower. Therefore, the roles of a person are shared. Those people who have the higher level of testosterone perform male tasks while those who perform female tasks have lower level of testosterone and the sex organs may be either men or women.
Therefore, this is one of the arguments that sex has a biological nature and people formulate their preferences on the basis of the chemical process which occur in human organisms. Despite the physical sex organs, people may have another gender which is a real expression of their self, however, it is the biological process as well. Human mind is impacted by the chemical processes which occur in their minds.
