There have been studies which claim this in the past; the article seems to not indicate what is new in the study, which makes this any different. Previously, when looking up differences between male and female brains, it seems that most scientist where fairly adamant, that there where not definitive differences between the male and female brain, but perhaps some general rules of thumb, no different than statistical data comparing height or muscle trends between men and women.
When dealing with the subject apart from gender dysphoria, it seems that most scientists would not claim that there was any distinctive difference from a physical point of view between men and women that given a brain scan; they could tell you if they where male or female apart from an only slightly educated guess no better than if they where given the patients height.
I would look for more information about the study. Would they be willing to do a blind study/test? The study may be new, but the claim isn't. And previous claims before seem to be based on bad science; driven more by an agenda.
