I always wonder..

If TIMs have female brains,

do they have female livers too?.. maybe female kidneys?

    White privilege = spared racially-fuelled injustice. There is no systemic (implicit) prejudice against white people – that's white privilege. It's an easy enough concept to grasp & not the least bit controversial.

    The fact that mass media and academia are 100% on board with the "white privilege" ideology would seem to suggest that white people are not actually in control of these institutions.

    wow, a conspiracy theory supported by a non-sequitur. the analysis of ideology is not itself an ideology btw.

    There is no systemic (implicit) prejudice against white people

    Except there is systemic prejudice due to the projection of the concept of white privilege.

    Which is why white people are attacked and murdered for being white, no matter how soyboy tv shows try and paint that reality as a nazi conspiracy theory

    When trans activists bring up brain sex the only response is "So transgender is always diagnosed with a brain scan?"

    There are properties of the brain that correlate with a person's sex, and where people can be sex atypical*. It wouldn't surprise me if some of such properties were influenced by, say, testosterone levels during brain development, and that the less-hairy men that make more convincing transvestites, and gay men, are by such measures, on average, more womanly than other men.

    That said, it would be interesting to see whether members of "the community" would be willing to accept the negative test results of some of their number, as the price of affirmation for the rest. For the selfish, whether they'd be OK with this would be down to their individual diagnosis.

    * for example volume. don't shoot the messenger. it's what you do with it that counts!

    Brain-sex is BS because the studies that have been used to prove it is BS. TLDR - People who do fmri studies haven't been able to come up with reliable statistics and raw data analysis pipeline in order to produce reproducible results. Any study based on fmri data is probably cherry-picked and heavily processed in order to get the results they want.
