Anyway, two of the issues I have with these gender tests are a) that certain traits are perceived to be intrinsically male or female what is considered male or female changes so much across history and cultures. b) that sexual orientation (fixed or otherwise) and gender orientation seem to be so closely tied together when I don't see that they are.<BR/>Nevertheless, I am interested that you came out as "neutral" like me and wonder if other bi people would too.Sue Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682934707338626061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30566857.post-84852330552100716122008-06-24T09:11:00.000+00:002008-06-24T09:11:00.000+00:00I am a Bi man and did the BBC Brain Gender test.I ...I am a Bi man and did the BBC Brain Gender test.I came out at 0% (Neutral). I always wondered if there was a connexion.So I was interested in your comment that you to were neutral (androgynous)when you did a similar test.<BR/><BR/>In the full BBC survey / test the experiments authors did not seem to include a question re: self identified sexual orientation. Personally I would have been interested in an analyses of these results with respect to declared sexual orientation.<BR/><BR/>There seems to be a blind spot in the researchers world view - perhaps they do not feel confident in designing a test that allows for Bisexuality so concentrate on the simple Heterosexual or Homosexual binary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30566857.post-9158531995346560932008-06-21T13:20:00.000+00:002008-06-21T13:20:00.000+00:00Yes, you made some interesting points in your comm...Yes, you made some interesting points in your comments - although I think you put more faith (right word) in neuroscience than I do. I think psychology is more valuable...<BR/>On the other hand, I do think your view that gender also comes on a continuum is interesting. But I don't see that, say, being gay (male or female) gives you a brain more or less like the "opposite" sex. I have met gay men and straight women who definitely seem to be very male in their attitudes / feelings / behaviour. And the reverse with lesbians and straight men.Sue Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04682934707338626061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30566857.post-21708668973714441882008-06-19T22:11:00.000+00:002008-06-19T22:11:00.000+00:00Hi...I don't know if you read the comments on that...Hi...<BR/><BR/>I don't know if you read the comments on that post from my blog or not, but I got a little deeper into what I personally suspect this study suggests. I think we're going to learn a lot more about sexuality as it's studied concurrently with the differences between the genders than anything else.<BR/><BR/>Oh, did you see the OTHER study that came out this week? It's on my blog...somewhere. It's about genes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
