How is the complex and widely variable physical state that we call sex determined at the levels of genetics and embryological development? In this talk, Dr Stewart will share her experiences from a career in the medical management of the developmental problems that can arise during the various process by which our bodies acquire the features of sex. She will examine the diagnostic and treatment dilemmas that arise when sex turns out not to be as simple as we widely expect, and will explore the related complexities which surround sexuality and gender dysphoria.
