“Researchers have studied men with cross-gender names like Leslie,”

WTF?

yeah, I had that reaction too.

Yeah, my first reaction was, "but Leslie is a man's name..."

Admittedly it isn't commonly used as a man's name anymore, but still. Hillary. Joyce. Men were named these things. This is much less weird then say, Lemon Jello.
