Whether your locus of control scores higher on the internal or external rating differs based on how much agency you believe you directly have for your life. Women consistently score higher on having a high external locus on control. It makes sense, nature is thrusted upon you without much choice of your own. Even if you are a transgender woman who experiences dysphoria, I could imagine it would feel like nature thrusted itself on to you, too. Up until the 1980s in America, perhaps even the 1990s, women were bounded by the restrictions of society/their families.
