That's freakin awesome. I wonder if it's reversible, like you could change sex with the season.

fascinating!

I wonder how this might apply for ftm, though. Is the gene present in those born male, and, if so - could it be turned on instead of off?

On the surface, it sounds good. My question: Would it change who I fundamentally am inside? After all, transition is about identity.

I also would have fears about what the Religious Right would try to have forced on us now that Teh Tranz has been reduced down to a single on-off switch.

This is excellent news and confirms something I've suspected. Now if they can only discover a gene that controls androgyny ... I'd volunteer for that in a moment.
