"Several studies have shown the hippocampi of men and women to differ anatomically, neurochemically, and also in degree of long-term potential in...Activation of the hippocampus is more dominant on the left side of hippocampus in females, while it is more dominant on the right side in males. This in turn influences cognitive reasoning; women use more verbal strategies than men when performing a task that requires cognitive thinking.[18]The hippocampus's relationship with other structures in the brain influences learning and has been found to be sexually dimorphic as well.[1]"
"The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPC), plays a key role in social emotional processing. In accordance with the sexual dimorphism of the amygdala, the right VPMC is more dominant in an active limbic system for males while the left is more dominant in females."
"Positron emission tomography studies have shown that men and women ranging from the ages of 19 to 32 years old metabolize glucose at significantly different rates in the orbital prefrontal cortex. Infant males who exhibited lesions on their orbital prefrontal cortex struggled with object reversal experiments, but females exhibiting such lesions did not have impaired performance in object reversal.[20]"
"There are sex differences in locus coeruleus dendritic structure that allow for an increased reception and processing of limbic information in females compared to males.[17]"
"According to the neuroscience journal review series Progress in Brain Research, it has been found that males have larger and longer planum temporale and Sylvian fissure while females have significantly larger proportionate volumes to total brain volume in the superior temporal cortex, Broca's area, the hippocampus and the caudate.[21]The midsagittal and fiber numbers in the anterior commissure that connect the temporal poles and mass intermedia that connects the thalami is also larger in females.[21]"
"in 2013, researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania mapped notable differences in male and female neural wiring. The study used diffusion tensor imaging of 949 individuals aged 8–22 years, and concluded that in all supratentorial regions of the brain inter-hemispheric connectivity was greater in women's and girls' brains, whereas intra-hemispheric connectivity was greater in the brains of men and boys. The effect was reversed in cerebellar connections.[13]"
"Global and regional grey matter (GM) differs in men and women. Women have larger left orbitofrontal GM volumes and overall cortical thickness than men.[22]Behavioral implications of the greater volume have not yet been discovered. Women have a higher percentage of GM, whereas men have a higher percentage of white matter (WM) and of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid). In men the percentage of GM was higher in the left hemisphere, the percentage of WM was symmetric, and the percentage of CSF was higher in the right. Women showed no asymmetries. Both GM and WM volumes correlated moderately with global, verbal, and spatial performance across groups. However, the regression of cognitive performance and WM volume was significantly steeper in women.[23]"
"In a 2013 meta-analysis, researchers found on average males had larger grey matter volume in bilateral amygdalae, hippocampi, anterior parahippocampal gyri, posterior cingulate gyri, precuneus, putamen and temporal poles, areas in the left posterior and anterior cingulate gyri, and areas in the cerebellum bilateral VIIb, VIIIa and Crus I lobes, left VI and right Crus II lobes.[24] On the other hand, females on average had larger grey matter volume at the right frontal pole, inferior and middle frontal gyri, pars triangularis, planum temporale/parietal operculum, anterior cingulate gyrus, insular cortex, and Heschl's gyrus; bilateral thalami and precuneus; the left parahippocampal gyrus and lateral occipital cortex (superior division).[24] The meta-analysis found larger volumes in females were most pronounced in areas in the right hemisphere related to language in addition to several limbic structures such as the right insular cortex and anterior cingulate gyrus.[24]"
I could go on and in with that.
Studies of transgenders show that their brains are more like their "desired" gender in a few areas but more like their biological gender in the others. Which makes sense, because those brain structures are determined by hormones in development and transgender people have the same hormones as every else of their real gender. Hormone treatment can make their brains push more towards the other direction, but they can't transform it completely. Same with the rest of their body.
Tell me why "sex is physical and gender is mental" for any reason other than politics. And he'll, genetics are biological while race a social construct, but that don't mean Yao Ming get to be Black if he feel like it.
Do I understand it completely? No. But getting to know transpeople pretty much took away a lot of misconceptions I had about em
Years ago I met this chick on some music form, we chatted a lot on kik and honestly it felt like I was talking to a guy, i'd only be reminded she was a female when she'd make a vagina joke or some off-color shyt
After sometime she told me she was trans and always felt like a guy and honestly, I wasn't surprised.
He's doing alright now
Almost you could chat with some Asian guy on a Black forum and forget that he's not Black. Especially if he want to portray himself that way.
But we dont know anyplace where White and Asian people be doing that, do we?
And there is a MUCH larger difference biologically between में and women than there are between different races. That don't mean some red-headed Scott get to claim he Black just because he "feels" like he should be. We dont let forty-year-old men go to high schools and pick up on girls because they "feel" like a teenager at heart. There are biological realities, and part of being mentally well is learning to accept reality and who you are, not who you not.
I don't hate on transgender people. I just don't think it loving to feed their self-deception. People, especially young people, get into a LOT of self-mutilation due to personal issues. Skinny chick think she fat and goes anorexic. Pretty girl think she ugly and plastic surgery herself into a monster. Popular girl thinks everyone hate her and cuts herself in secret. It is ONLY with "transgender" that this self-deception and self-mutilation has become socially acceptable. And that happened due to political agendas, not reality. They don't need hate, but they need real help, not delusion.

I'm not transgender, I can't argue with the above because I don't really keep tabs on studies like that
Gender has had many different definitions depending on the time and place, male and female being the sole genders is a Western ditchonomy
Native Americans had Two-Spirits: Two Spirit 101
Polynesians had Fa'afafine: Fa'afafines: The Third Gender in Samoa
Thais have Katheoys: Kathoey - Wikipedia
Ancient Egypt had Eunuchs: http://www.well.com/~aquarius/egypt.htm
Race is not gender or sex, comparing the two is like all those gay cacs and c00ns saying "Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender is the new Black"

If you make up a word, you can make it mean whatever you want it to mean.
But that doesn't give it biological importance.
In my international work I've met guys who told me they used to be kathoey's. Most of them had some sort of childhood experience with abuse or neglect. Some of them had stopped being kathoeys and were back to identifying as regular males.
In India, sometimes for the third gender choice isn't even part of the equation - young men get brought into the group, often because they were orphaned or runaways or something, and are basically forced to conform.
I'm not saying that gender identity disorder isn't a thing. Some people are confused about who they are. That's certain. But people who are confused about their identity and think they are two people (disassociative identity disorder) - does that make them two people? Someone who thinks they should be a woman - does that make them a woman?

Gotta disagree here.
Don't think hunk it's fair to compare gender identity issues with teenage/adolescent problems.
First off, those feelings go away. They are tied to a time/event in life that will pass.
A male who feels like a female will feel that way his entire life. There is no pill or counseling that will change that.
Also cutting/anorexia etc is physically dangerous to the persons life. They could die from cutting starving themselves. Conversely accepting a transgender for how they feel can save their life or at least improve how they feel about themselves and the world around them.
I already said that I've literally met people who used to be transgender and aren't anymore. It's different for different people.
The feeling of anorexia never go away for some people. Same with dissasociative identity disorder and other identity disorders. That don't mean it represent he truth about who you are.
And non-suicidal cutting ain't any more life-threatening or self-mutilating than cutting your goddamn dikk off.
I do agree that you want to help people. And I agree theres lots of bulshyt a lot of people with this identity disorder have to go through. But I'm not at all convinced that just auto-pretending they really a boy/girl when they not is the right answer.
The societal default nowadays be, "Your feelings define reality." That's an awful trend. It was very recently (hell, still true in the textbooks) that letting people think their feelings defined reality was considered a CAUSE of mental disorder.
Then they were never transgendered.
Peoples feelings do define their own reality. I'm all for people having the freedom to find their own happiness.
And you are being very disingenuous comparing purposely starving and mutilating oneself to getting a surgical procedure.
That's a logical fallacy - you can't claim it's impossible to change, then just dismiss every example of someone changing with "oh, it must not have been real then."
Only 33% of men whose identical twin is transgender are transgender themselves. For women it's even lower - just 23%.
Get that - their identical twin is transgender, still they usually not.
So even with the EXACT same genes, same womb, same family, same upbringing...most of them aren't transgender. Which proves that whatever going on, for most it ain't defined solely by genes or womb or infancy and is almost certainly subtle enough to change.
That thought process literally causes mental illness. Look at your EXACT words listed as a cognitive distortion in the textbook:
"Common Cognitive Distortions
A partial list from Robert L. Leahy, Stephen J. F. Holland, and Lata K. McGinn’s Treatment Plans and Interventions for Depression and Anxiety Disorders (2012)...
11. Emotional reasoning. You let your feelings guide your interpretation of reality. “I feel depressed; therefore, my marriage is not working out.”
"Burns defines emotional reasoning as assuming “that your negative emotions necessarily reflect the way things really are: ‘I feel it, therefore it must be true.’ ” Leahy, Holland, and McGinn define it as letting “your feelings guide your interpretation of reality.” But, of course, subjective feelings are not always trustworthy guides; unrestrained, they can cause people to lash out at others who have done nothing wrong. Therapy often involves talking yourself down from the idea that each of your emotional responses represents something true or important."
Whole article worth reading for the insight on how the modern academic environment is screwing with young peoples heads.

And you are being very disingenuous comparing purposely starving and mutilating oneself to getting a surgical procedure.
A surgical procedure to CUT YO dikk OFF.
And it ain't always surgical - third world dudes just be doing it with a knife on the street.

A procedure that is in most cases useless and needless, done to someone who can't consent, and based on outdated desert nomad traditions.
Why not let them decide to have the procedure when they are older?
