Sure! I learned about it from this Harvard neurobiology lecture by Richard Sapolsky.

These time stamps are from the same video, so you can start at the first one and he'll just move right into the second one.
This is the study he refers to by Simon Levay (you might be able to get a copy through an open access site somewhere, I don't know though): https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1887219
This is the study he refers to in regard to the stria terminalis is: https://www.nature.com/articles/378068a0
Here is the replication study for the stria terminalis: https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/5/2034/2660626
And that video is 12 years old. From my quick search to try to find the original sources just now, it seems even more studies have been done on it in the meantime.
Just managed to skim the paper and watch the video. That is a really interesting lecture and clearly he is interested in the science as he addresses caveats and the political nature of the studies. But that is actually really interesting findings. Thanks a lot for sharing this.
