A down-to-earth investigation into the subject of gender studies and the controversies surrounding the subject. A layman's view and explanation of basic psychology, human nature and human sexuality as it pertains to biological sex and gender in the new age.

This new theory displaces the 60-year-old innate, or "born that way" belief that all current gender studies and treatments are based on.
