Ninety-nine "tomboys" and "non-tomboys": behavioral contrasts and demographic similarities.

Two samples of female children with diverse patterns of sex-typed behaviors are described. Fifty traditionally sex-typed and 49 nontraditionally sex-typed girls are contrasted. Their age range is 4-12 years. They are widely divergent on sex-typed preferred toys, gender of peer group, participation in sports, roles taken in playing house, and stated wish to be a boy. Their parents do not differ on age, marital status, religion, or number of children. These descriptions provide the baseline for a forthcoming series of papers describing the development of these divergent patterns of sex-typed behaviors and the association of these early patterns with later psychosexual and psychosocial attributes.

The Sambia "turnim-man": sociocultural and clinical aspects of gender formation in male pseudohermaphrodites with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency in Papua New Guinea.

Continuing controversy surrounding the Dominican Republic studies of 5-alpha-reductase deficiency and the development of gender identity in male pseudohermaphrodites concerns the roles of culture and biology in determining the ambiguity of gender socialization in an unsophisticated population. The present paper provides a cross-cultural perspective on these problems through description of anthropological and clinical data for a sample (N = 14) of subjects suffering from 5-alpha-reductase deficiency. Nine of these male pseudohermaphrodites were reared ambiguously as male and five as female. Female subjects changed from the female to male-identified role, but in circumstances of social trauma. The authors find ambiguity here related to the presence of a third sexual category available for sex-assignment and typing. Cultural valuation of the male role makes gender-switching from female to male pragmatically adaptive. The study concludes that social-experiential and cultural factors are significant in the formation of gender identity change in male pseudohermaphrodites with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.

Sex offending among juveniles: development and response.

This article provides the health care provider with information on normal and aberrant sexual activity in children. It examines the characteristics and risk factors associated with juvenile sex offending behaviors and summarizes treatment approaches taken with children who molest. The primary issues in determining when a child's sexual behavior is abusive include the absence of equality and consent and the presence of coercion. Other than the loss of a parental figure and the presence of emotional problems, few demographic or specific psychologic variables distinguish juvenile offenders for their nonoffending peers. Thus offenders typically come to the attention of health care providers indirectly through their victims.
