Gender is an expression of culture and that expression doesn't always match genitals so partly yes - and the preferred term is transgender

Why did we go from brains to penises and vaginas though? Are the organs directly related to psychology? I thought we were post-Freud.

Because it's tough to argue that biology affects genitals but not the brain. Why is the brain exempt?

By arguing that sex diffs are entirely due to culture it seems that you (or OP) are.

Nope. 1) Brain's are v plastic so sex differences may be influenced by dev 2) Gender is an expression of culture for which bio matters
