That's not how science works. Unless it is a refutation, which what you posted wasn't, then it adds to the body of evidence and the theory becomes more nuanced over time.
You are ignoring what I said earlier about your binary religious thinking. You can not draw a strict line between male and female brains, the two classes are distinct but share many features. For example men are generally strong and taller than women, but some men are shorter than some women, and some men are weaker than some women. Some men are shorter than some women but also stronger. But in each case they still have enough characteristics to be deemed men. This is why you cannot say that any brain, whether cisgendered or transgendered is 100% male or female.

Easy. For someone who is gender fluid, the non-plastic parts of the brain that encode gender identity are even balanced between male and female. Yet gender is also cultural, in the same way that everyone is a balance of nature and nurture. So the plastic parts of the brain change current gender preference over time due to cultural experience.
