 | | Discordances between the biological and psychosocial levels, such as when the gender identity does not match the anatomic sex, or between the various psychosocial levels, such as when the gender role does not match the gender identity, are even more common but less well understood. | | | It shows the man with broader shoulders (sex dimorphism) and the woman in clothing that is in the western world rarely worn by men, a dress (which functions as a gender signal). | | | In contrast to the small percentage of people with biological discordances of sex, a fairly large proportion of human beings may be "discordant" in one or more behavioral or psychological dimensions. |

| | Chromosomes, the spaghetti-like strands of hereditary material found in each cell of the body, determine such characteristics as the color of our eyes and hair, our height, and whether we are male or female. | | | Parents should stress that neither the X chromosome nor the infertility associated with it mean that he is in any way less masculine than other males his age. | | | At this time, the child can be reassured that he does not have a disease and will not become sick. |

| | Remember, there are many other chromosomes in the pigeons makeup, chromosomes that determine eye color, pattern, spread, grizzle, indigo, etc. but these genes are not located on the sex chromosome so they do not play a role in determining the sex of a pigeon. | | | In the process of mating, the cock pigeon contributes one of his two chromosomes and the hen may or may not contribute hers. | | | Any of these genes can determine the sex of the pigeon and are referred to as sex linked genes. |
