I was watching this fascinating video lecture by a neurobiology professor and the brain regions that are dimorphic and are correlated with expressions of male and female gender alignment; but the comments devolved on accusations of “trans medicalism”. My assumption is that this is an accusation of boiling down transgenderism to sex-characteristics as expressed through the brain, and the possibility of “testing” that would deny transgenderness if the person doesn’t have these correlating sizes previously identified in research.
Am I missing something?
That’s true! Fascinating part of the lecture - they did autopsy and brain measurement of trans people that underwent sex-reassignment surgery and those that never underwent said process, but still claimed to be trans, and the specific brain regions matched their self-declared gender.
