Trans people can claim to have the brain of the opposite sex all they want- this has been debunked. A while ago. The fact that they cling to a debunked theory so hard should be a huge red flag and should invalidate (lol) this particular argument. They say this to try to make us forget that trans people have a mental condition, because if it’s a mental condition, rather than some weird biological anomaly, they can’t claim to actually be women/men. As I said before, what would it even matter if they had the brain of the opposite sex? Sex isn’t mental. Women don’t get treated the way we do because of our brains. And men certainly don’t either.

People who aren’t trans don’t identify as their sex or gender, we understand that we are our sex/gender. I don’t know I’m a woman because of my feelings and inclinations, I know I’m a woman because I’m female, human, and have reached sexual maturity. Feelings and identity were never factors in me understanding my sex.

Saying that TW aren’t women or TM aren’t men doesn’t invalidate their existence- we aren’t saying trans people don’t exist, we aren’t saying that being trans isn’t a real thing- we are saying it doesn’t change their sex or gender because it’s impossible to change those things. We know they exist, we don’t agree with what they are saying about sex and gender.

Although trans people have a sexuality like anyone else does, being trans is not the same as being homo/bisexual. One is identity mixed with mental illness, the other is sexuality that doesn’t demand that people adjust their language or understanding of biology. One seeks to undermine other people’s rights and police speech, the other just wants equal rights. Lesbians get offended (rightfully so) when told they “haven’t had the right dick”- they don’t feel invalidated as lesbians. There’s a clear difference. You can’t invalidate fact, the reason trans people are so triggered and complain so much about being invalidated is because their claims are so easily seen through and torn apart. You can’t say the same for LGB. The T was smart enough to cling to LGB, that doesn’t mean they are the same. Although from what I’ve been told by older TW, in the past they were able to acknowledge that they weren’t women, and belonged to the LGB because most of them were gay men with dysphoria.
