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.

Gender is being male or female. In the case of those that don't fit in either of those boxes, it's whatever they are.

Male gender is the gender that people who are male have. Female gender is the gender that people who are female have.

I'm failing to see what you're trying to get at with this line of questioning.

What is gender?

It is not being male or female. That is sex. Sex is being male or female.

What is gender? I'm failing to see an answer to an honest question. You like to redirect when you have no actual answer but feel you know you're correct?

Gender is sex stereotypes. The idea that women are nurturing and men are aggressive is taught and learned. Unless the brain scans of male and female newborns are scanned, show differences, and those differences stay on those scans through adulthood, we can say the differences are learned because of neuroplasticity. We know it's nurture. We know that. We have zero evidence of anything described as "gender."
