Also to throw a curveball in there, apparently women who have ASD have brains that are closer to men's brains than women's

Yeah, I'm one. Asperger's runs in my family. I also have PCOS, so I'm kind of an all round testosterone fiend.

Cloacal extrophy. If you are familiar with the papers on it, the older the boys get, the more likely they are to claim a male identity. A lot if the juvenile studies in them are in pretty young kids.

Dave Reimer case too. Money was a monster.

You might be interested to know about the guevedoces. They are male infants that have a juvenile inability to convert testosterone into DHT, so their male genitalia don't appear until puberty. Normal male testosterone exposure in the brain.

They look exactly like little girls, even the parents think they are girls and they raise them as girls. They almost all get spotted as boys before puberty because of their rough and tough play, male playmates etc. They often insist on being treated as boys quite early. Live as normal male adults.

Basically they are solid proof that it's innate.
