AB  - What  defines  our  sexuality  is  a  complex  interaction  between  our  genetic  makeup,  environmental  stimulus,  and  cultural  influences.  The  origins  of  our  sexuality  occur  at  the  time  of  conception  when  the  genetic  material  from  two  sources  of  the  opposite  sex  coalesces  into  a  new  individual.  From  that  moment,  sexual  differentiation  occurs  by  a  highly  organized  process.  Sex  chromosomes  and  autosomes  dictate  the  development  of  gonads;  the  gonads  in  turn  produce  hormones,  which  then  direct  the  development  of  the  internal  and  external  genitalia.  Disorders  of  sex  development  (DSD)  or  differentiation  arise  from  abnormalities  in  chromosomes,  gonadal  development,  or  hormonal  production/activity.
