Here's the article where TRAs themselves rejected the idea of trans brains because it's gate-keeping.

Honestly there are some interesting links with grey matter and body identity integrity disorder, so it's possible that there's a link there with being trans too. Less of a man brain/woman brain thing and more of a your brain might be mapping itself wrong issue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_integrity_dysphoria mentions it and I do think it'd be a useful avenue to explore due to how similar a lot of this sounds.

when was it again that they dumped dysphoria as a requirement? 2015? they even said "it's cruel to force people to have this painful condition to qualify!" (but then always invoking that pain whenever someone said no to them)

I mean it's almost George Lucas poetry how men-who-didn't-really-want-to-be-women and male-female couples chased the actual trans and gays out of the Alphabet

Completely idiotic. Sounds like a good way to clog up the medical system with people who don't need treatment. Like someone with dysphoria may actually benefit from therapy or research into the condition but any of the people not actually suffering will throw it off.
