So apparently, using sites like WomenAreHuman and This Never Happens to show how the Trans ideology is harming Women is "Cherry-picking"

but he said that it's not necessary because according to studies, transwomen have the same brain structure as women ergo they have female brains.

He's wrong. The only difference they ever picked up was down to homosexual orientation in the childhood GD group. They have normally sex developed brains for their sex and sexual orientation.

You're kind of wrong about not being able to tell sexes apart with an MRI scan though. You can do it in about 95% of cases, and where you can't it's usually because the person is gay and got an atypical hormone exposure in the womb.

The heterosexual TIMs have typical guy brains.

Show him these.

New MRI Studies Support the Blanchard Typology of Male-to-Female Transsexualism

If there is any neuroanatomic intersexuality, it is in the homosexual group. In heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals, the difference may not involve sex-dimorphic structures at all, and the nature of the structural difference is not necessarily along the male–female dimension.

Contrary to the primary hypothesis, no sex-atypical features with signs of ‘feminization’ were detected in the transsexual group….The present study does not support the dogma that [male-to-female transsexuals] have atypical sex dimorphism in the brain” although that statement should have been restricted to refer to heterosexual male-to-female transsexuals only.

Structural connections in the brain in relation to gender identity and sexual orientation

These are the studies that TIM supermod on Reddit removes as soon as he sees them, so you know they can't be argued away.

Yeah I did try pointing him to Ray Blanchard's studies on the HSTS vs Straight trans-identified men but he shot it down saying that it's all anecdotal and "bias".

You're kind of wrong about not being able to tell sexes apart with an MRI scan though. You can do it in about 95% of cases, and where you can't it's usually because the person is gay and got an atypical hormone exposure in the womb.

Well the thing I was arguing wiith him about is that there's no standard to compare the brain to. Even if we homosexual males do share similar brain structures to that of females, I was just trying to explain to him that if the brain sex theory was true, wouldn't it make more sense to have trans-identified people take mandatory brain scans to make sure they are making a informed decision before they "transition"?

Yeah I actually just got through reading that and I'll send that to him if responds back as well as the other one. But I remember showing him this site for reference

https://www.pnas.org/content/112/50/15468?fbclid=IwAR3SluVjPC6mbqu0fU7km0E_QmSYe0r5-7axHEC4P4_4tbZnu2h-tiqmcok

And he responded with this lol

"Look at the letters that https://www.pnas.org/content/112/50/15468 generated (available in that same web page) and you will see that the question of "brain sex" seems to be far from settled."

And I mean of course it's not "settled", people have been trying to find the female brain for a long time and the closest thing they found was some slight similarity when it comes to Homosexual brains but that doesn't make us homosexuals trapped in the wrong body or some nonsense like that.

And when I tried to use the "I think therefor I am" analogy by saying that if men can be women just because they think they are women then Rachel Dolezal is a black woman because she feels like she is one and that Nato lady from Norway is a cat because she thinks she's a cat, he pretty much said that because race is a social construct, that means that Rachel can definitely be a black woman and that there's nothing wrong wit ha person transitioning from white to black or vice versa ( you just can't make this stuff up). Right before he said that me mentioning WomenAreHuman lowers my credibility even more.

wouldn't it make more sense to have trans-identified people take mandatory brain scans to make sure they are making a informed decision before they "transition"?

I do love the idea of them having their heads examined. They have zero "proof" of being women other than "I feel like a woman" -- he should just feel like a fool, I'm afraid.

Exactly, they have no solid evidence and they know it. That's why they don't make brain scans a mandatory thing which in the grand scheme is ridiculous because "Transitioning" does damage the body and can lead to serious health side effects so you'd think that they'd want to make sure the person is making an informed decision before doing it but you know, can't stop the gravy train flow.
