Nature starts out the human developmental process by using the female schema as a base. For animale embryo to develop, something must be added. That something must be a Y chromosome inherited from the father. Further, that Y chromosome must contain a gene known as the Testis Determining Factor (TDF), telling the embryo to differentiate and develop male genitalia. Embryo with or without the factor, continue to develop undifferentiated as female. Gender Dysphoria Program Guide Lines. 2, record 5, English, - Testis%20Determining%20Factor
