Bindel's claims are not scientific ones. They're n=1 anecdotes of herself. That's fine, I'll engage with that.

"It can’t be that there is a difference in our brains, because it would have been discovered by now…"

A heightened desire for scientific knowledge does not produce it more quickly. Lack of scientific output does not predicate an answer. I appreciate Bindel's faith in those of us that practice the discipline, but we're not magicians. We still don't know what causes Alzheimer's disease, and believe me, plenty of smart people are working on it. Following Bindel's logic, clearly, Alzheimer's ...can't be that there is a difference in our brains...
