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

lmao I'd love him to share those studies of trans women having female brains. It's a thing mostly in terms of small structural differences but the differences are really minor. It's not the hill they want to die on, how can males have a female brain when they are practically the same apart from their interactions with the rest of our bodies.

He thinks that the observation that some men have the same structural similarities of that as a woman is proof that there is a female brain. What he's not understanding even when I tried to address it is that these minor structural similarities are found in homosexual men and not straight men, at least according to Ray Blanchard's study that I've read.

that's funny in class we were just told that members of the female sex have it, but the brain is basically considered a gender neutral organ because the differences are so minor. Also not every female has that which is also why the idea of male/female brains aren't taken that seriously

It's been ages since I went over these neuroscience studies but people need to realize the vague-ness is obscuring explanations. For example, one important "small structural difference" was that transwomen had more reactivate amygdalas--which process fear/threat responses. That doesn't mean they were born with lady brains-- it's a response to the environment! or perceived environment. Yes, women on average have larger ones -- so do gay men, child abuse victims, and Republicans (versus Democrats). Funny when that "fear prone Republicans" paper came out the media didn't claim they had feminized brains.
