Discussion

Hi Flyer, I see what you mean. I only ordered it in that fashion because of the Bailey review, and since it sort of relates to hormonal exposure/brain masculinization (but I guess t lacks direct evidence of the cause) But we can change that. I’ll do a proposal soon. Sxologist (talk) 05:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Comment; the problem being that for example, there is a causes of trans sexuality article, but there is no central place for causes of sexual orientation in total, so it kind of lacks cohesion. But we can just move it down. Sxologist (talk) 05:39, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Trimming Biological differences

The 'Biological differences ...' section includes biomedical information cited to non-MEDRS sources. Any objections to a heavy trim? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 18:25, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

While badly cited, secondary sources cover quite a number of those things. Especially the Bailey et al. review from 2016 and LeVay's book. I would prefer using those and similar sources and cite those as replacements in most cases. Perhaps it could be tagged for now. Crossroads 22:28, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
