4. Please do read the article.

I think that researchers know that something happens in the womb, but they're not quite sure what or why.

The author also says that it's becoming more common (if that's the right word) for teens to exist in the gray area between male and female...that surgery isn't always the endgame for people with gender dysphoria. She says, though, that it's easier for girls to exist in that indistinct area, because "tomboys" aren't scorned by society in the same way that, say, a biological male in feminine clothes would be. I hope I said that where it makes sense.

It's a really informative article.
