It is true that neurologically, trans female brains are similar to most biological females. That in no way undermines Peterson's point. Pesonality traits most likely do correlate with neurobiology. So what? That does not mean there are male and female brain types. Or that brains have gender. What Peterson is saying is that gender identity is a poor framework for interpreting personality traits and that idea holds true even if the personality traits are entirely neurological.
