Meta-Analysis: Sex-Based Differences Are Biological And Unchangeable

A recent meta-analysis of sixteen studies concluded that sex-based personality characteristics and preferences are biological, inborn, and unchangeable.

In related news, a million fluid transgenderist feminist lamebrains exploded simultaneously from the meaty intrusion of evidence-based SCIENCE.

According to a new study, differences between boys and girls are biological and not fluid, as transgender theory claims.

Research revealed in the Infant and Child Development Journal concluded that gender preferences in children are not so much the result of their environment and upbringing as they are intrinsic within the child. These findings contradict prevailing LGBTQQICAPF2K+ belief that gender is both externally directed and fluid. […]

Sixteen studies composed of 787 boys and 813 girls were documented. Researchers found that consistently “boys played with male-typed toys more than girls did, and girls played with female-typed toys more than boys did.”

This finding won’t surprise most parents, but it defies prevailing transgender theories that say gender differences are simply a “social construct.”

The same innate gender preferences were observed in a variety of contexts. “No significant effect of presence of an adult, study context, geographical location of the study, publication date, child’s age, or the inclusion of gender-neutral toys” made a difference, the data showed.

The scientists concluded that the data from these studies indicated “gender differences” have a “likelihood (of) biological origin.” In other words, before you were born you were a boy or a girl, and that’s not subject to change.

“The consistency in finding sex differences in children’s preferences for toys typed to their own gender indicates the strength of this phenomenon and the likelihood that has a biological origin,” the study says.

The God of Biomechanics laughs at your idiotic feminist ideals.

Just as what one sees in an ink blot or instinctively associates with a suggested word can indicate one’s internal psychology, so a child’s free, self-directed choice of toy can indicate his or her innate psychology. Researchers say such choices “appear to be the product of both innate and social forces.”

More and more, when social scientists say “appear to be the product of both innate and social forces” they really mean “appear to be the product almost entirely of innate forces but our freakqualist leftoid egos are fragile and we’re still holding out hope that a super duper secret replicable feminist study will rise from the grave one day soon to prove once and for all that NURTURE BTFOs NATURE MUHFUGGA!”.

The study also found male gender differences increased with age. “Older boys played more with male-typed toys … than did younger boys,” but “the same pattern was not found in girls.” Researchers speculated that this observation may be because of increasing social pressure on girls to break from innate stereotypes.

So boys became more boy-like with age, while older girls stayed as girl-like as they were when little.

I can think of a few reasons for this apparent disparity, in descending order of likelihood.

• Boy brains experience more profound changes going through puberty than do girl brains, because masculinization is a greater physiological and psychological change from the state of childhood neoteny than is the process of feminization. In other words, grown men are more different from their former childhood selves than grown women are from their former childhood selves. This results in the perception of older boys gravitating more strongly toward “boy-like” hobbies and preferences.
• Related to the above explanation, boys develop a powerful visuospatial center in their maturing brains (which girls do not) that further predisposes them to male-typed toys.
• Adult social pressure on girls to be second-rate boys (“early intervention gogrrl careerist shrikery”).
• Adult social pressure on boys to be less boyish (“toxic masculinity”).

If, say, genetic biological immutability accounts for 70-80% of sex-based preferences and aptitudes, then imagine how malevolently insistent, unremitting, and remorseless the Leftoid Equalist social pressures would have to be to overcome that innate predisposition and have an impact on the choices of growing boys and girls. Downright evil, really.
