簡介Is there a switch that turns you gay? That’s the startling question raised again by a recent experiment in which scientists said they were able to turn on and off homosexual behavior in fruit flies. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago said they discovered what they call a “gender blind gene,” or GB, in male fruit flies. A mutation in this GB gene spurred the males flies to start courting other males, as well as females.

The Desire Disorder in Research on Sexual Orientation in Women: Contributions of Dynamical Systems Theory

題目The Desire Disorder in Research on Sexual Orientation in Women: Contributions of Dynamical Systems Theory
日期20210126
簡介Over the past decade, numerous studies have documented fundamental differences between the phenomenology of male and female sexual orientation, largely centering on women’s capacity for fluidity in their sexual attractions. The past decade has also witnessed fundamental changes in clinical perspectives on “normal” versus “dysfunctional” patterns of female sexual desire, largely centering on women’s greater capacity for responsive and context-dependent sexual desires. In both cases, traditional male-based models of sexuality have been found inadequate to describe women’s experiences. I argue that this inadequacy stems from a failure of traditional models to appropriately account for the phenomenon of variability over time, which may constitute a fundamental feature of female sexual phenomenology. I maintain that dynamical systems theory provides a useful and generative approach for reconceptualizing female sexual orientation, because dynamical systems models focus specifically on describing and explaining complex patterns of change over time. I review the key properties of dynamical systems models and provide an illustrative model of how this approach might yield new perspectives on female sexual orientation.

Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality

作者NIL
題目Sexual Orientation & Homosexuality
日期2008
簡介Since 1975, the American Psychological Association has called on psychologists to take the lead in removing the stigma of mental illness that has long been associated with lesbian, gay and bisexual orientations. The discipline of psychology is concerned with the well-being of people and groups and therefore with threats to that well-being. The prejudice and discrimination that people who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual regularly experience have been shown to have negative psychological effects. This pamphlet is designed to provide accurate information for those who want to better understand sexual orientation and the impact of prejudice and discrimination on those who identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual.

簡介近年來,除了與性聯染色體直接相關的疾病(例如血友病)以外,我們也知道,許多疾病(例如糖尿病、中風、心血管疾病),性別的差異也體現在患病率以及藥物治療的效率上。然而,性別科學的研究如何在疾病上有所貢獻呢?有興趣的朋友,不要錯過本月份Investigator為大家延續性別研究的歷程,以及在醫藥界的外來展望。

簡介人類很早就提出各種論述解釋性別決定的機制,只是這些論點限於當時的科學技術在日後幾乎全部被推翻。混亂而錯誤的觀念遲至1677年在顯微鏡下見到精子,方能證明精子中沒有藏著小小的生物個體。接下來直到十八世紀初正式觀察到哺乳動物的卵子以及在1902年確認的X和Y染色體的存在,生殖與繁殖的起始才有了科學化的認知。今日在分子生物學與系統生物學的蓬勃發展下,可以確定的是:生物的性別決定過程,無論是環境決定性別或是基因決定的系統,都不只牽扯少數幾個基因,而是取決於整體調控網路運作。有性生殖並具備兩性異形的雌雄個體中,性別決定因子或因子群分別影響了整個發育過程相關的轉錄、修飾、剪切,轉譯而最後産生不同的蛋白,這些蛋白產物再調控或是激發其他基因網路而產生不同的表現性,由此而産生了生殖性別的差異。
