I don't care about dynamics of power

Riiiiight. It's totally never about any kind of hierarchical system when people fight to uphold the hierarchical system that just so happens to put white men on top. It's all about FACTS&LOGIC!

I care about the truth

Right. The truth that just so happens to uphold the hierarchical system because look, it's there! It exists! And if it exists now, then we know it has to exist, it's natural. Women and black people are just naturally dumber because after being stomped on and pushed to the bottom for centuries, that's just what nature intended, don't argue with facts and logic.

People are not just behaving in accordance with their upbringing, they are acting in accordance to their biological sex and their sexual orientation

White people are also behaving in accordance with racism. Guess they all have racism brain parts, then.

Brain structural differences are not meaningless

Since you're playing the idiot card, they are meaningless in the sense that I already explained: as a way of upholding supremacist ideologies by arguing that discrimination is a natural product of certain groups inferiority/superiority, rather than vice versa.

That doesn't mean these brains were like this from the start and it was never argued to be that way.

Also in the same comment: "The existence of GNC lesbians or effeminate gay men who show their personality from a very young age despite a gender-normative environment or at least one in which other gender-conforming siblings are raised suggests to me that some part of their brain, core personality features, etc, was that way from the start."

the idea that this incredibly complex organ has no physiological indicators of how it functions is a bold assertion.

Gee, it's a good thing I never said that and that I literally said that even the type of music you listen to affects your brain differently, and that these brain differences are meaningless precisely because of how malleable the brain is.

this study found that a region "processing the perception of self and body ownership" was found to be different between gynephilic trans women and straight women. An area that deals with self perception and body ownership that just happens to be present in people who often have dysphoria, a rejection of certain body parts, and an identity that doesn't match their body. Meaningless? Ok.

You mean to tell me that men who are trying to convince themselves and others they're women despite all evidence to the contrary have different self-perception than women with a normal grasp on reality? I guess that proves that...uhh, what is that supposed to prove, actually? That the people who listen to classical music have classical-musician-brain-parts in their heads since birth?
