<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: 100%">What I said is
based
on observations and scientific research.<br>
<br>
I spent 3 years
talking with a group of people, which included people with
multiple
personalities. There is actually a continuum between them and
'normal' people. For example when you drive, you are processing
multiple inputs in parallel and making decisions without thinking
consciously.<br>
<br>
I came across a news
article about an island were about 10% of children were born
apparently female, and became definitely male at puberty. It was
so
common that people simple changed their children's clothing
appropriately, and treated them as males. So I did some research.<br>
<br>
A vet in a city
where I lived, was in the news for formally changing his gender
and
having operations to make his body consistent, with the full
support of
his wife. I come across at least 2 similar items along the same
lines. Research has found the wiring of the 'true' female mind is
quite different to that of a 'true' man's, the women use more
areas
of both sides of the rain to solve a technical problem, whereas as
men tend to use one part of one side. During pregnancy changing
levels of hormones can cause brain development not to match the
physical gender.<br>
<br>
The trouble is that
political agendas influence how people see reality. My wife is
definitely feminine and we have a son, but she is one of the rare
women with a Masters in computer science. I got wiped of the chess
board by a toothless old woman at least 20 years my senior, and I
am
fairly strong social player who used to play in 'A' grade
interclub
chess teams. So the differences in the way brains work between men
&
women should not be used to try and 'prove' that women should not
do
certain jobs because they should be reserved for men, or vice
versa –
nor should 'political correctness' be allowed to claim there are
not
fundamental differences between the sexes that go beyond the
physical
differences!<br>
<br>
As for Freud, due to the nature of society of his
day, he was forced to couch his conclusions about what he observed
in
terms that were 'political correct' for his time. Plus our basic
understanding of how the brain worked was extremely primitive then
compared to what we know now. So even if he had been able to
freely
express himself, without having to conform, he would still have
been
way of the mark in some areas.<br>
<br>
So simply because what I wrote
conflicts with your notion of reality does not mean I'm wrong.
Note
that reality tends to be more nuanced & complicated than we
can
easily deal with, and society as a whole takes even longer to
adapt. For example, only recently did Germany allow a third option
for the
sex of a baby, and most databases still implicitly assume that
people
are either definitely male or definitely female.<br>
