Sex versus Gender Role Endorsement Associations With White Matter Microstructure in South African Adults: A Diffusion Tensor Imaging Study

Abstract

Gender nonconformity in males is linked to a "sex-reversed" pattern of white matter microstructure in healthy adults recruited from a general population setting. Future longitudinal studies are needed to investigate how sex, gender identity, genetics, sex hormones, and environmental exposures interact to shape white matter development across the lifespan.
