First, sex and gender are different. Sex is based on the biology of the impact of sex chromosomes and gonadal hormones on the brain and body, whereas gender refers to the social roles and behaviors of an individual. The science of sex differences in the brain is built on a strong body of evidence going back decades.
Ironically, we have found that in many ways women's brains are more robust. But this line of thinking sets up an unnecessary and false competition that results in anti-intellectual thought and in the omission of important aspects of the conversation, especially when it comes to studying health, wellness, and disease.
