embryo development is a complex matter where things can go "wrong" (from an evolutionary perspective; no moral judgement intended). My guess is also that something like this is behind some people "feeling like the other sex".

Sorry to be a pedant, but when putting forward theories that homosexuality & cross-sex "gender identity" arise coz of what happens in utero, I think it's important to use the proper terms. An embryo is the name for developing humans in utero from the second week to the eighth week or through the seventh week after fertilization. Whilst sex development begins from the moment of conception, most of changes that those who advance the theories you are referring to happen after an embryo has officially become a fetus.
