Choose ONE of the topics identified in the articles above and write a substantive paragraph about the boundaries/expectations/limitations/privileges you personally face in relation to this topic. Answer preview:Scientists have continued to uncover and study new ways that try to explain issues to do with gender. There have been conversations on what exactly it means to be male, female, transgender, and nonconforming to either sex or any of the many names that have been used to refer to sexual orientations of different people. As these conversations continue, scientists have been able to try and explain the complexities that surround this topic. For example, contrary to what most of us were taught in school that chromosomes XX and XY mean a girl and a boy respectively, science has been able to unearth more knowledge about this issue. New research has been able to show that these chromosomes do not necessarily mean that male or female will completely develop with all the elements that ordinarily accompany it. XX may not necessarily come complete with vagina, ovaries, estrogen, feminine behavior and female gender identityWord: 1,500
