This is the reason why:: [[Our understanding of gender begins at a very early age]] and it supports:: the validity of [[Transgender people]] children and that [[You can discover your transness at any point in life]] If your assigned [[gender]] does not match your true gender your body will produce biological warnings of [[depression]], [[depersonalization]], [[derealization]], [[dissociation]], and obviously [[gender dysphoria]], but studies have shown that early social acceptance can bring these signs to near zero. ^[[[course - Psychology of Race and Gender#Week 10]]] Unfortunately, [[Trans children will repress their dysphoria if they have been effectively taught it is unacceptable]], which means that most trans children don't receive this kind of support. Sex determines [[phenotype]] and [[genotype]] but not [[gender]], although [[Sex is a social construct]] is also true. similarly:: [[Gender has historically been non-binary]] ### <hr class="footnote"/> **Status**:: #EVER/GREEN *edited 7:35 AM - July 08, 2022* **Topics**:: [[gender]], [[Transgender people]]
