It's a silly idea. Is it possible to find such similarities in brains between tims and actual women but not between other groups of men and actual women, such that this becomes a defining characteristic of what a woman is, and such that the genitals and reproductive function of their bodies will somehow not be the defining characteristic? Brains are very elastic, consider what brains of musicians or monks compared to the general population, and epigenetics shows that so much about the insides of our bodies can be changed. To make "man" and "woman" anything other than reproductive categories of people is just silly. These are not "identities", but physical realities.
