I think it's plausible that "real" trans is a thing. Genetics is complicated, there are mutations, there are weird interactions, I can believe that 1/100 of 1% of people have "the wrong" brain for their body. ...but I also suspect that 99% of "trans" over the last 10 yrs aren't. https://twitter.com/JoscoJVTeam/status/1047127501141491723 …

This is my read on it as well. It might even be more prevalent among certain ethnic groups, look at Indian culture and Native Americans with their history of third gender people. But trans today is society meming vulnerable kids into mutilating themselves.

As I say repeatedly - genuine outliers happen and no need to be cruel to them. But making “outlier” a sought-after center-stage status results in insanity.

"Outliers are ok, but outliers must never be normalized" would be a good civilizational ethos.

That's an excellent point. We can test if the brain is X or Y chromosomes, and if that matches the body. Declaring your brain runs Intel Assembler on an AMD chipset means we are unable to test the truth of your claim.

obviously brains are built out of the same XX or XY cells as the rest of the body the question is whether the patterns and organization of the brain match the rest of the body I recall seeing fMRI studies showing that trans brains are not identical to the "identified" gender >

...but are closer to the identified gender than to the body phenotype gender e.g. a person born w a penis that identifies as female as XY genes, but a brain scan shows a corpus collosum and other brain structures closer to an XX woman than to an XY man

Right, but that's like staring at the layout of transistors on a CPU and trying to decide if it's an Intel or AMD. We just don't know enough about how the brain functions for me to trust that in today's society, never mind half of studies are not reproducible.

still better than NOT having an IR camera, tho, eh? I mean, if you run Excel 100 times, and 82 of those times you get a hotspot HERE not THERE, and then you run random program and get the similar but not identical hotspot, it's... interesting...at the very least.
