Infant studies blow away woke trans nonsense

A few years ago, Sir Simon Baron-Cohen's research caught my attention. His studies suggest that, from birth, male and female newborns (neonates) exhibit distinct, pre-socialized differences in behavioral interests—differences influenced by prenatal testosterone exposure.

Female newborns show a stronger and more sustained interest in social stimuli, such as faces, while male newborns display a greater preference for non-social, mechanical objects, like a moving mobile.

Intrigued, I turned to the internet for more research on the topic.

In my view, this evidence supports the complementarian model of gender roles. Although complementarianism is often associated with theology, similar patterns appear throughout the animal kingdom, where males and females are innately adapted to distinct roles that compliment each other.

This conclusion challenges the idea—often promoted in "woke" discourse—that males and females are completely equivalent or interchangeable, to the point that one can simply transition from one sex to the other at will.

Here is what I found.

Scientists studying infant development have reported measurable behavioral differences between newborn boys and girls within the first days of life, according to several research projects examining early attention, temperament, and sensory responses.

One widely cited experiment tested more than 100 infants roughly 24 hours after birth by presenting them with two types of visual stimuli: a human face and a mechanical mobile. Researchers measured how long each baby looked at the objects. The results showed that female newborns, on average, spent more time focusing on the face, while male newborns looked longer at the mechanical object.

The researchers said the findings suggested differences in early visual attention to social versus physical stimuli. Because the babies were tested within a day of birth, investigators argued that the influence of socialization was minimal at that stage.

Other studies using standardized neonatal behavioral assessments have reported similar patterns in early development. In one project involving nearly 200 healthy newborns evaluated within two to three days of birth, scientists assessed alertness, irritability, orientation to sound and ability to regulate behavioral states.

The evaluation found that girls scored higher in measures of alertness and responsiveness to voices, while boys tended to score higher in irritability measures. Researchers described the differences as subtle and emphasized that most infant behaviors overlapped significantly between sexes.

It's observable. I attended my grandson's tenth birthday party and noted the girls gathered under a tree where they sat and talked among themselves. Boys, on the other hand, busied themselves playing ball.

In Sweden, where extraneous efforts have been employed to erase gender discrimination, nursing remains a career path of choice for women by a wide margin. In fact, "Approximately 87–90% of registered nurses in Sweden are female, with men accounting for about 10–13% of the workforce." [source] What's more, according to labor data from Sweden’s workforce statistics, auto mechanics (often categorized under motor vehicle mechanics or bilmekaniker/fordonsmekaniker) are overwhelmingly male. The most recent figures show that approximately 96 % of people working as auto mechanics in Sweden are men and about 4 % are women. [source]

More recent large-scale analyses of infant temperament have also attempted to determine whether behavioral patterns can predict sex. One study examining more than 4,000 infants used computational models to analyze early temperament data. Investigators reported that behavioral traits alone predicted sex better than chance, suggesting that early differences exist but remain modest.

Developmental scientists caution that individual variation among infants is far greater than the average differences reported between boys and girls. They note that biological factors, brain development and later environmental influences all interact as children grow. That is, socialization seems more prone to diminish gender roles than enhance them.

Researchers say continued study of newborn behavior may help clarify how early developmental pathways emerge, but they emphasize that early behavioral tendencies should not be interpreted as fixed predictors of personality, intelligence or social ability later in life.
