Transexuals

[I_am_not_mafia]

Ok but can I just show you this article I found.  I don't know how valid it is but I think it's from a fairly reputable source and I'm sure there are counter opinions to the articles conclusions.

As already posted on this thread, there is plenty of evidence for the difference in male and female brains that has been in the literature for the last few decades and they also show that transsexuals have the brain of the gender that they identify as. I've even read some of them myself.

Transsexual differences caught on brain scan

This is from the article.
“There are not two types of brain”
When the group looked at each individual brain scan, however, they found that very few people had all of the brain features they might be expected to have, based on their sex. Across the sample, between 0 and 8 per cent of people had “all-male” or “all-female” brains, depending on the definition. “Most people are in the middle,” says Joel.

Scans prove there’s no such thing as a ‘male’ or ‘female’ brain

From your very own link:

It reveals that most people have a mix of male and female brain features.

This is consistent with the literature. Using your link to argue that transsexuals do not have brains typical of the gender that they identify with is disingenuous equivocation. Even brains between different species will have much in common because we have all evolved from common ancestors. So it makes sense that male and female brains will be the same design but have different features, or at the very least some features more or less developed than others. There will never be a clear line differentiating the two classes of brains, they will be many overlapping areas. But this still means that you can have brains with predominantly male features and brains with predominantly female features, and other brains sharing many aspects of both.
