Newcastle Skeptics In the Pub are thrilled to host Dr. Jane Stewart for our November talk!
How is the complex and widely variable physical state that we call ‘sex’ determined at the levels of genetics and embryological development? In this talk, Dr Stewart will share her experiences from a career in the medical management of the developmental problems that can arise during the various process by which our bodies acquire the features of sex. She will examine the diagnostic and treatment dilemmas that arise when sex turns out not to be as simple as we widely expect, and will explore the related complexities which surround sexuality and gender dysphoria.
Jane Stewart (MD, BSc (Hons), MRCOG, FRCOG) is a specialist in trans-people’s reproductive health. Now retired, she was an NHS Consultant in Reproductive Medicine at the Newcastle Fertility Centre (Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), a centre with a long history of helping the LGBTQ community with fertility. A longstanding member of the British Fertility Society, she was responsible for the application for the world’s first licence for mitochondrial replacement treatment.
