I have read that your brain can have a sex. A Male brain is good at certain things that a Female brain isn't, and visa versa.

Tests can indicate your brains sex, but I was wondering, suppose your male and your brain is female, or visa versa? Does this pose any negative affect, or would it be positive?

How would one get a brain with a different sex to their body?

I want info!

The use of the word sex in realtion to a brain is problematical. What you are talking about is a fact though. 20% of each gender have brain structures like the gap between the hemispheres that is like the opposite gender. Ideally we should all develop our multiple talents and gifts to the degree that we are as ONE. The Tao symbol shows the union (Yoga translated means union not 'yoke' like the Catholics say) that will enable the passive and dynamic balance.

If we took up cloning we wouldn't have to deal with this crappy sex thing and all of the problems it brings. The only advantage of sex is evolutionary and what good is that when a striking comet could wipe out all of the advances anyway. Just clone, clone, clone and have an easy life! And we could still have "sex" and enjoy it.

Yes, but would having the brain structure of a woman and the body of a man affect you in some negative way?

The issue of sex is only one aspect of the potentials included in the Yin and Yang or passive and dynamic nature that is mirrored in our brain. Cloning would do no such thing as you suggest Hey Hey - the brain would still be there - would it not?

Of course some would say this is proof that homosexuals have a physiological predilection to be what they are. There is research which shows the development of the fetus and its genes is affected by lactic acid build-up or drinking milk which is highly correlated to that - but I say it is environmental and we are all latent lovers of energy in people that may or may not be of the other gender.

To delve into the esoterics of the Tao is not likely something that I will do unless people do a lot of research on it and demonstrate the capacity thereof which would warrant me doing that.

Would a man with a 'female' brain turn out homosexual?

Most theories fall into one of two categories: psycho-social dynamic or biological, sometimes simplified as elements in the nurture vs. nature debate.

Psychodynamic theories attempt to explain development of a person's sexual orientation in terms of internal mental processes, and the interaction of these with reward and punishment. Examples of these include Freud's psychoanalytic theory and Ira Reiss's socialization theory. The latter holds that the greater the rigidity of gender role in male-dominant societies, the higher the likelihood of male homosexual behavior. This is so, Reiss argued, because the rigidity of the gender role could lead a male child who did not conform to find conformity with other nonconformists, that is, male homosexuals.

In the last decade, increasing numbers have turned to biological theories, explaining sexual orientation in terms of biological phenomena such as brain circuitry, hormones, genes, and evolution. The brain, for example, is said to be influenced by prenatal hormones. Fetuses whose brains are exposed to high levels of androgens during prenatal development will be sexually attracted to women in adult life, while those exposed to low levels will be attracted to men. Brain researchers have looked at biological markers, such as the human hypothalamus, to test such conditioning.

Others have looked at bodily difference such as fingerprints or finger length to determine the influence of prenatal hormones. Other physiological and anatomical features have also been examined, but all of the theories proposed so far have limitations, some more serious than others. Since homosexuality is thought by many to run in families, there has also been an effort to look at genetic influence, and while some researchers have found what they think is documentation of this, there generally has been a failure to replicate the findings.

The author of this article has argued that so far there are too many variables involved to come up with any definitive answers. Probably biological, psychological, and social dynamics are all involved, and there are too many variables to reach any final conclusions. As far as classifying any individual, sexual orientation seems best left up to the individual to define for himself or herself.
