Gender identity is genetic -- next step, finding the transsexual gene. No offense.

New research provides more evidence that boys will be boys -- even if
they're raised as girls.

Eight of 14 sexually malformed children who grew up as females later
declared themselves to be male, a new study says.

All the children were born with a defect that left them without normal
male genitals. Surgeons removed their testes, which were inside their
bodies, and their parents chose to consider them to be girls.

Experts say the findings support the controversial notion that
environment alone doesn't determine whether humans consider themselves
to be males or females. "It just shows that nurture is not able to
overcome nature in many cases," says Dr. Eric Vilain, who studies so-
called "intersex" children at the University of California at Los
Angeles.

In the brain map of the body, feet are located immediately
adjacent to the genitals. Cross excitation (synesthesia)
may occur.
Anecdote :
In my youth, an orgasm might include a sensation that
my feet were curling up.
