Original post by ManusterWoah woah woah. Brains are not discernible by gender. There's no "female" brain and there's no "male" brain.
A difference in hormones can cause the brain to act differently, and over time that may cause some sort of variations, but those are not due to males having a completely different brain type as females.
Males produce far more testosterone than women so can tend to be more violent, this may lead to an increase in whatever part of the brain deals with violence,but it is NOT an effect of them being male.
A women who tends to be more violent than average is still a woman and although she may have a similar tendency to the average male does not mean she is not a woman.
The same way a man who tends to be more gentle than the average women is still a man.
Men have bigger, rougher, uglier hands than women. But there is no "man" hand and "woman" hand. They're still the exact same, they've just been used, treated and influenced differently. The same applies for brains,
And besides, a transgender individual takes hormone pills (a good majority at least, I believe). This will lead to their body functioning the way the opposite's gender does...their body including their brain.
There are only 2 genders, a brain scan of a woman taking testosterone pills will simply show a brain that has spent alot of time being used the by a woman transitioning into a brain used by a man. It's the same brain, a human brain. There's no gender to it.
