what I meant was, there is tons of research on male homosexuality, and like 3 articles on female gender identity issues. it's been very frustrating for me to find ANY info. your T's explanation was very helpful. it's like they just assume that every mother-daughter r/s is just great! they're both girls! what can go wrong! nothing! they're the SAME! WRONG. I'm not saying it's good that there is a stereotype of a gay male being "created" by an overbearing mother and absent father, but almost all the gender identity studies are about male gender identity. finding the female gender identity study is like searching for the eye of the needle in a haystack
