It is unrelated to their sexuality, or sexual attractions.
And your "schizophrenia" comment is WAY, WAY off the mark. When we say "detect differences", I refer to the fact that the ones claiming to identify as women show brain-characteristics indicative of a female brain-activity (on the aforementioned fMRI scans), rather than the male type. For your analogy to work, it would mean that schizophrenics were claiming to see things, we tell them they're not really, and then the fMRI scans show that their brains really are doing what they claim they're doing... but you tell them they're still full of shit.
Yes, it would be bigotry if you told me you were a Christian and I told you that you really weren't because reasons.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
