Wait, are you actually claiming they have a literal "wrong" brain in their body?! I must be misunderstanding you.

I'm saying the brain and body's gender are not aligned in patients who are transsexual or who have gender dysphoria.

Sometimes the physical gender will also be indeterminate or intermediate between male and female.

But the brain is another organ in which gender is exhibited, and sometimes that does match even when the physical gender appears clear. Hence "transsexual". You've heard the term?

Okay I'll bite.

What is gender?

What is male gender?

What is female gender?

Hit me with anything other than stereotypes and I'll give you a listen.

I have issues with my biology but that's it. For the longest time I didn't even realize it was connected to sex until I noticed they're all sexually dimorphic characteristics.

I don't really know how to explain it though other than it just doesn't mesh with me. It's like not getting along with a person. The worst of it is actually in my cognitive functioning. It feels like my brain is a bunched of incompatible parts duct-taped together. But I also have a lot of other problems up there so I'm not sure how much of it is actually related to this.
