The claim that I was uncomfortable with my Stanford fellowship but "didn't turn [it] down" is insulting, misrepresenting a process I describe in which I began by agreeing with affirmative-action policies but gradually began to feel different as I got older (long after the Stanford fellowship).

Researchers don't know exactly how a child's body decides to start the two-to-three-year process of becoming a biological adult. But they do know the first stage begins in the brain, when a chemical signal, called gonadotropin-releasing hormone, unleashes a series of biochemical reactions in the body. Soon girls will notice a swelling of tissue around the nipples. (Menstruation usually begins a year or two later.) In boys, the penis and testes start to grow larger...
