Are the TQs right or wrong in saying that the brains of gay people are structured like the brains of their opposite sex by which they mean gay men are psychologically women and gay women are psychologically men?

Because it just does, it's not a fact that there are areas of the brain that are more similar to the areas of the brain in the opposite sex. It's a hypothesis, and hypothesises can be false and debunked. Even if you're not talking about the entire brain, you're saying a part of the brain of gay people is similar to a part of the brain of their opposite sex. That's how people have come to the conclusion that gay people are psychologically and mentally their opposite sex. And that's ridiculous. You and your "areas of the brains of gay people are similar to areas of the brains of their opposite sex" are not helping gay people, you're pushing things back, making people believe "oh so a gay man is just a woman on the inside? makes sense now"

I don't care about politics (advancing gay rights or whatever) when it comes in conflict with actual empirical research. Also, none of the researchers mentioned in this thread are saying

"oh so a gay man is just a woman on the inside? makes sense now"

There's no actual empirical research there, it's just you and those people taking some random data out of nowhere to push your agenda that 'gay men have lady brains'. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. And also, I don't care about empirical research when it comes in conflict with gay rights. The natural conclusion of their so-called research is 'oh so a gay man is mentally and psychologically a woman, makes sense now' even if they didn't say it directly, they implied it.

So according to you, all those studies have been fabricated? Lol. Ok, keep consulting your crystal ball.

Of course studies can be fabricated, especially when science is mixed with politics. But eh, if you don't get it, it's not my problem.
