For transgenders it's not all that cut and dry. Behavior can change the brain due to its neuroplasticity. Learning creates new neural pathways, so what you wrote about could be an effect and not necessarily a cause. As the old dictum says, "correlation does not necessarily imply causation."


And different gene expressions code for every mental illness from schizophrenia to OCD that result in unique, dysfunctional structures. That tells us absolutely nothing.

And there has been study whether these people have the opposite gender's brain structure- hint they didnt. NationalReview's Williamson wrote about it at length.

Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here
