Let me first say that I am an atheist, I do not believe in God (or gods) and I don't believe in souls. The mind and by extension conciousness is, in my view, an embodied phenomenon that does not exist outside our bodies. In that sense, there is no way someone could have the wrong body. Or that there could be a "male brain" in a female body or vice versa. A brain in a female body is a female brain. A brain in a male body is a male brain. To me any talk of a female brain in a male body or vice versa is just some sort of coping mechanism by people who are intensely unhappy with themselves.

Brain studies on male vs female brains overwhelmingly show there are very few differences between them other than male brains are slightly larger. Any studies that show different are likely to be based on cherrypicke data like many (if not most) studies based on fMRI. In my view any study that relies solely on fMRI is suspect because many of these studies are not falsifiable or reproducible.

I find science is this area to be kind sus in general because people have been trying for literally decades to show that female brains and male brains are different in order to justify misogyny, or that homosexual brains are something or other in order to justify homophobia. The brain is highly plastic and I doubt that there is anything that people could find that explains either homosexuality or transness with any degree of rigor. If fMRI science was actually valid people would be using it as a diagnostic tool in psychiatry but they don't.

The idea that lesbians have a more "male brain" and that gay men have a more "female" brain is super homophobic. I mean first you'd have to figure out what a male brain a female brain looks like and I doubt anyone has actually figured that out.

BTW I'm getting super tired of the QT "prove me wrong" post. NO U, you prove that YOU are right. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. You can't just claim a bunch of crap that has 0 credible evidence and then go around yelling PROVE ME WRONG PROVE ME WRONG and then claim victory when no one takes you very seriously.
