<b>International sex researcher, neuroscientist, and </b><b>columnist</b><b> </b><b>Debra Soh debunks popular gender myths in </b><b>this research-based</b><b>, scientific examination of the many facets of gender identity.</b><br><br>Is our gender something we&#8217;re born with, or are we conditioned by society? In <i>The End of Gender</i>, neuroscientist and sexologist Dr. Debra Soh uses a research-based approach to address this hot-button topic, unmasking popular misconceptions about the nature vs. nurture debate and exploring what it means to be a woman or a man in today&#8217;s society.<br> <br> Both scientific and objective, and drawing on original research and carefully conducted interviews, Soh tackles a wide range of issues, such as gender-neutral parenting, gender dysphoric children, and the neuroscience of being transgender. She debates today&#8217;s accepted notion that gender is a social construct and a spectrum, and challenges the idea that there is no difference between how male and female brains operate.<br> <br> <i>The End of Gender</i> is a conversation-starting work that will challenge what you thought you knew about gender, identity, and everything in between.
