      Knowing biology tells us gender is more than gonads. Its brain too.

      Replying to @HPluckrose

      natural variation, personality. Chrctristics that may broadly diff btween M/F but w/ big overlap.Eg. Can't assign sex by height

      No, but you can say men are on average 4 inches taller than women. I'm the height of the average man.

      but u can't take someone's height a determine sex. Just like.u can't with brains. Because sex organs eg genitals determine sex.

      I've just shown you that you can. Different sizes, anatomy, usages. Grey matter differs.

          you can't! Anymore than someone can look at your height and decide you are male. Or mine as I'm nearly 6 ft.

          and that's with me accepting what is said in your link. I've read plenty citing actual research that differs.

          .@NurtureMyBaby There's research showing men & women's brains to be same size, same structure, same usage?

          I'm not even arguing that! I'm arguing u can't assign brains as M/F accurately. If differences are real there is so much overlap

          There is much overlap, yes. No-one denies this.

          you did deny this when u said forensic scientist can look at a brain and say whether M or F. Overlap makes this not possible.

          There are differences in function etc. Not so much in size & structure.
