[Psychosocial sexual phenotypes. A proposition and their ontogeny]
1Departamento de Biología Celular y Genética, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Chile, Santiago de Chile.
Abstract:
A proposition of operational phenotypes and ontogeny for psychic and social sex is presented. These phenotypes are defined according to the three major theories of Biology: cell, inheritance and evolution. Sexuality is defined, for species, as the ability to produce individuals in creative genetical process by means of genetical recombination associated with reproduction. Sex is defined, for individuals, as the set of characters (phenotypes) that allow those gene recombinative and reproductive processes. The Psychic Sex includes: the Sexual configuration of identity, the Sexual appetizing configuration, the Genital connection, the Somatoerogenic connection, the Integration of psychic sex into personality and the Sexual psychomotor form. The Social sex includes those individual behaviors performed isolately or collectively that realize sexual processes in the species. The ontogeny of these phenotypes considers that they are the product of the interaction between the genotypes and environments. The endogenous neuroendocrine differentiation, mainly due to genetic factors., interacts with the familial and social environment, which presents a set of sexual polar semiotic factors. The endogenous differentiation makes more or less probable to acquire further sexual differentiations yielded by co-living (interactions that are brought about by living together) with that differentiator (that produces differentiation) polar environment.
