Gender differences can be detected right from childhood. - While the passage mentions that gendered toys are given to children, it does not state that actual differences can be detected from childhood. It focuses on stereotypes rather than inherent differences.
Society continues to be fixated on gender stereotypes. - This is supported by the passage. The author talks about how \"we continue to live with notions that one's gender determines one's skills and preferences,\" indicating an ongoing fixation on gender stereotypes.
One's gender is bound to determine one's abilities. - The passage argues against this idea, stating that there are no decisive category-defining brain differences based on gender. It challenges the notion that gender determines abilities.
The debate on gender differences will never be resolved. - While the passage acknowledges that the debate remains inconclusive, this option does not directly relate to the term \"gendered\" as used by the writer.
