I don't object to this. I don't think people have to go completely binary.

I did. But if you accept "brain sex" stuff (which it seems that those small studies suggest), then you cannot explain detransitioning. Reality is we don't know where dysphoria comes from but that is seperate from wider gender identity politics.
-
You can. The brain studies are on people who never detransitioned. See how many studies there are. Gender differences really do exist. People who transition after puberty rarely detransition.
-
Sure, few detransition but you're ignoring those who. Gender doesn't exist. It's socially constructed. There are differences between sexes based on hormones but to suggest there is innate gender identity on the back of a few small and inconclusive samples strikes me as flawed.

You don't have to ignore them but they don't refute trans identity in the same way that some people saying they've stopped being gay doesn't mean homosexuality doesn't exist. I can't read the studies for you. I can only tell you they are there. Gender differences exist.
-
You keep saying "gender differences exist." No, gender is sociological. Sex differences exist (which is part of the issue). Comparing gender stuff with sexuality as if they're like for like is also deeply flawed.
-
Well, if you're only talking about things like 'blue for boys' and 'pink for girls' by 'gender', I agree, this is socially constructed. Usually, people include cognitive, psychological and behavioural differences tho.

Such as? There is no difference in IQ for men and women. Some behaviours influenced by hormones, sure. So what other differences are there?

Spatial vs verbal ability. Communication style. Interest in things vs people. Here is yet another metastudy on this: https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/08/25/the-most-authoritative-review-paper-on-gender-differences/ …
