ABSTRACT
I f one were to look into a hospital nursery almost anywhere in the world, the picture would be similar: rows of cribs or baskets containing infants of indeterminate gender, some of whom are squirming and crying while others are sleeping peacefully. A closer look will reveal differences in appearance, but at first glance, all the babies look very much alike. Should one meet the same babies 20 years later, the differences among them would no doubt be dramatically obvious: Not only would these individuals be distinctive in looks but also, if engaged in conversation, they would display a variety of attitudes, opinions, beliefs, and values. Moreover, they would differ in the manner in which they expressed them.
