Cognitive switch theory is a theory in gender role awareness. This theory states that all children are born neutral; sex is there but gender is not. The child thereafter becomes deliberate in filtering information that is biased toward the gender they believe they are. Some minor proof to this theory has arisen through the study of individuals born with both sexual characteristics at birth (which means their parents will choose the gender they will grow up in), later discovering that they grew up in the wrong gender through chromosome analysis; eighty percent of these individuals stated that they were happy with the gender they grew up with.
