What is the biggest scientific myth?

A Trans woman aroused by males is a straight woman. They are showing typical female behavior in line with their Neurobiology.

How do you fake neurological anatomy? One study found that the neurological anatomy of trans people was somewhere between cis males and females. One of many studies. Trans people are not mentally ill or "faking it". The facts are what they are... ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…

What do you call a transgender woman who's attracted to women?

They do, actually, have female brains. It’s a mutation that happens in the womb.

I HATE having to address transgender issues, but the bad-faith ignorance is astounding.🧵 My feed has been filled with conservatives attacking transgenderism as a mental illness with no legit biological basis. Which is medically, demonstrably FALSE. Yes, transgender women are obviously not biologically identical to cis women. However, most also are not biologically identical to cis men either. Countless, broadly accepted medical studies have found that most transgender individuals have brain anatomy and functioning – and often hormonal, chromosomal, and genetic traits – that more closely match their experienced gender. My Substack post in my pinned tweet links to dozens of these medical studies. The conservatives yelling “that’s impossible because male and female brains are fully identical in design and function" are not only clearly, biologically, wrong, but also hypocritical. The longstanding conservative belief in “gender essentialism” centers around such brain differences as the basis for male masculine vs. female feminine personalities – as they remind us every time a liberal mom tries to raise her baby boy with barbie dolls to reject masculinity. If conservatives suddenly believe that the brain is genderless, then they are endorsing the more radical leftist idea that male masculinity and female femininity are entirely social constructs that can be erased anytime. Any takers on that theory? I didn’t think so. Typical male and female brains contain subtle but real differences. And because our genes contain a full blueprint for both male and female development, it is possible even for some people with XX or XY genes to experience chemical changes in the womb that alter some of the gender development signals, particularly to the brain. This all relates to the assertion that transgender people “live under the delusion that they can change their sex.” No, we don’t. The point is that most transgender people were already born with biological differences relative to cisgender people. They aren’t trying to “change their sex” because, biologically, they never completely developed as the other sex to begin with. As a trans person, I did not wake up and decide to “change my sex.” I knew from age 4 that something was off with my gender, and later participated in several gender medical studies that confirmed a more female brain chemistry/architecture/functioning, hormone levels, and other biological characteristics. Most people who transition are merely aligning the rest of their body with other observable biological gender aspects (mostly in the brain) that emerged before birth. So, no, a trans woman is not the same as a cis woman. But she is probably not biologically identical to a cis male either. While the scientific discoveries continue to evolve (particularly in identifying the key genes), it has been firmly, medically established that transgenderism does indeed have an observable, biological basis. So it would be nice if more of the conservatives (and some liberals) who pride themselves on “standing up for truth and basic gender science” actually bothered to read and understand the scientific research. And if you are too invested in hating trans people to accept that gender science is more complicated than the simplified model you learned in 10th grade biology, well, as conservatives love to remind everyone else, “facts don’t care about your feelings.”

Sexual orientation is always in relation to natal sex. Thus, a trans woman (natal male) sexually aroused by other males, is homosexual.

They have a woman’s brain

Gender identity has biological precursors in the brain. When the internal gender identity conflicts with the body, you get gender dysphoria. Medical science. Maybe you should go to the chemo clinic and preach repentance to them.

By the way, the brain is biological and mine is in fact female - I've seen the scans myself, one of the rare trans women to have done so. My endocrine system is running on female hormonal levels. My breasts are identical to any other woman's breasts.

Trans people are human beings whose neurological sex doesn't match their sex assigned at birth. We are part of the rainbow of human diversity, who are currently being persecuted by the ignorant, arrogant, and hateful simply because we are different

The brains of trans people are equivalent to the sex they transition into. And yes, trans men are men and trans women are women.

the proof that gender identity exists is that trans people exist. as well as the fact that trans people have the same brain structure as their aligned gender

There is theory now (substantial body of evidence) that gender identity is formed in utero - in the areas of the brain that recognise the body. In transgender the evidence points to a disconnect between what the brain thinks the body is and the final presentation.
