What do you think it is that makes you a woman, or wanting to identify as one? Do you think you have a “female brain”? Im in to scientific explanations and not feelings, if that helps you understand what Im asking. Is there something that might be medically observable eventually like brain structure or hormones.

Do you think there might be more than one cause for “trans”, i.e. Is it really more than one condition.

medically observable eventually

The fact that there is a male and female brain was already shown and studied decades ago. Ironically it has been buried and denied by modern academia in order to push the narrative that men and women are equal in that they are the same in every way possible.

It is now being resurrected in order to give trans claims scientific credibility, however there is zero evidence that gender dysphoria has anything to do with male/female brain differences. FMRIs are trivial to do and would have been headline news if they showed brain structure and gender dysphoria had a link.

It is just another leftist lie. That is why they always stop short of making that claim directly and try to only infer it by asking loaded questions like "did you know that there is a male and a female brain?". They want to lie to you while maintaining an out on case they get called out.

If transgenderism were diagnosed with science there would not be any controversy. But it can't be because it is a mental disorder. At best you could find mild schizophrenia. The trans propaganda requires a denial of science.

We have no good understanding of how things like “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” are implemented on a neurological level. But thats where they are implemented— we don’t have male or female souls imo. There may be a lot of parallel circuitry for maleness/femaleness so perhaps a neurological abnormality would be subtle and difficult to observe from an MRI (one small structural defect could engage the wrong circuitry)

What seems salient to me with trans and gay people is that many seem to have other behavioral anomalies. I have run across some trans people that are very erratic and prone to violence and suicide. Alot of LGBT folks are heavy drug users. I could go on but you have probably noticed these things yourself.

I dont think gays and trans have the brain of the opposite sex in their skull. But I do think some of them might have an abnormality in the typical dimorphism one sees in male and female brains. This might be due to hormonal dysfunction in utero, or some sort of maternal immune reaction as some suggest.

Or it might be one symptom of a larger neurological condition.

I really believe we will discover multiple underlying neurological causes of lgbt behaviors. As well as a few that just had sub-optimal cultural experiences.

I was actually reading some study the other day that said the sexual dimorphism in brains was not even the same from race to race. E.g some groups have larger differences in the size and structure of the corpus collosum.
