If not, how do they legitimate their claims that gender differences are located in our bodies, not our culture or our environment?

Go through recent news stories and find an example of how gender is popularly located in the body (e.g. Women are from Venus, Men
are from Mars type articles). Develop a 1-2 page paper that responds to the following:
● Is gender determined by birth?
● Do these popular statements use science to persuade the reader?
○ If not, how do they legitimate their claims that gender differences are located in our bodies, not our culture or our
environment?

● Conclude by referring to the thought -What would happen if, when you were born, you were not given a sex?
