Bagaimana gender bekerja? Gender bukan hanya tentang kromosom, kata ahli biologi Karissa Sanbonmatsu. Dalam paparan yang visioner ini, beliau membagikan penemuan terbaru dari epigenetik, tren penelitian baru mengenai bagaimana aktivitas DNA bisa berubah secara permanen berdasarkan faktor-faktor sosial, seperti trauma atau diet. Pelajari bagaimana pengalaman hidup membentuk ekspresi gen dan apa artinya itu bagi pemahaman kita akan gender.

Biologi gender, dari DNA hingga otak

Gender is not defined solely by chromosomes, as some women have a mosaic of X, XY, or XXX types. New research in epigenetics reveals that life events, hormones, and social stress can permanently alter how DNA is expressed, shaping identity at the most basic level. During pregnancy, a developing brain and body respond to these signals at different times, which can lead to a diversity of gender experiences. Accepting ourselves and one another may matter more than any single biological marker.
