And now TRA are returning them on a casual society discussion level. "I was born with woman brain in man body"

The cherry on top being that quite a few transwomen work in fields that aren't suited to "female brains" according to this view.

"In 1886, William Withers Moore, then president of the British Medical Association, warned of the dangers of overeducating women as they could develop a disorder he called “anorexia scholastica”, which made women immoral, insane and asexual." LMAO, wow.

It's always something. Studies that prove girls outperform boys even in STEM fields? "ThAt'S bEcAuSe ScHoOl iS sTrUcTuReD tO bEnEfIt GiRlS!" Always written by young men who were "too smart" or "too bored" in school, yet they failed their classes, they can't spell nor form a sentence to save their lives, they can't hold down a job, and they live in their mother's basement watching p*rn and eating chicken tendies all day.

I hadn't seen that last one yet. I like Gina Rippon even more now.

"I have had transgender individuals or individuals wishing to transition asking if we can we scan them – for instance, a man saying can you prove I have a female brain so I have a case for my transition. It doesn’t work at that level. Certain members of the transgender community are made very angry by that.”

Unbelievable how they are seen as the pro-science side, and we're seen as the anti-science side, yet I've never seen this sort of behaviour called out in their communities. Can you really say you're pro-science if you only like it when it supports your own personal views?
