@hbdchick female-to-male trans people in the sample had a INAH3 nucleus more similar(n of cells) to that of a male than to that of a female -
@hbdchick not sure when the difference between sizes in cis males and females develops(as in,when in the lifetime) or how to look it up but… -

@hbdchick "done" by 2-4 y of age. If causal, that would suggest that you should trust kids that say they don't feel like their"assigned sex" -

@waynecolvin@hbdchick probably has something to do with hormone theraphy -
@DrXaverius@hbdchick Some psychiatric medicines affect specific brain regions, would be interesting if these too (or prenatal hormones). -
@waynecolvin@hbdchick yep, research like this looks foward minimal distress or secondary effects for hormonal theraphy -
@DrXaverius@hbdchick What if parents (or child themselves) refuse the doctor's prescription? -
@waynecolvin@hbdchick that it simply doesn't happen, I guess? I haven't ever heard of it being mandatory anywhere -
@DrXaverius@hbdchick anything unnatural is a risk, even if it turns out better. some kids might be gay instead of trans etc... :/ -
