Question

The authors describe boys with a genetic defect that produced deformed genitals. Some of these boys were given plastic surgery at an early age to give them female genitalia and were raised as girls. Describe the outcomes of these children.

a) They exhibited typical female behaviors and gender identity
b) They exhibited typical male behaviors and gender identity
c) They exhibited a mix of male and female behaviors and gender identity
d) They developed an entirely new gender identity

Answer 1

The outcomes of the children would most likely be a mix of male and female behaviors and gender identity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The outcomes of the children described in the question would most likely be a mix of male and female behaviors and gender identity (c). While some boys who were given plastic surgery at an early age to give them female genitalia and raised as girls may exhibit typical female behaviors and identify as female, it is also possible that they may exhibit some typical male behaviors and have a mix of male and female gender identity.
