Well, there are some studies that show that parts of a trans person's brain are sort of similar to their preferred sex. But I'm (somewhat) skeptical of those studies. Even if they show what they purport to show, which they might not, I think there are nuances that are worth exploring.

Also this is a great essay that is worth reading: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/03/25/is-everything-a-religion/

And since we don't define gender by brain structure, those studies are moot. At best they show a physical cause for delusion, but don't prove the delusion real.
