From a cultural psychology framework, this chapter focuses on the construction of symbolic boundaries that are deeply connected with the feelings of belonging to specific social groups. More precisely, our story is about symbolic boundaries related to the construction of gender identities.

People tend to think of gender as the result of nurture – as social and hence fluid – while sex is the result of nature, simply given by biology. However, nature and nurture intertwine, and there is no obvious point at which sex leaves off and gender begins.
1 sty 2020 · Differences between males and females exist. One of the most well-established dimorphic traits is gender identity. Several research studies have documented the possible role and interaction of hormonal, neuroanatomic/neurofunctional, and genetic factors in the development of core gender identity.
Here we review the evidence that gender identity and related socially defined gender constructs are influenced in part by innate factors including genes. Based on the data reviewed, we hypothesize that gender identity is a multifactorial complex trait with a heritable polygenic component.
1 wrz 2017 · Determination of biological sex is staggeringly complex, involving not only anatomy but an intricate choreography of genetic and chemical factors that unfolds over time.
