The problem is that "girl brain in a boy body" line, since we're talking about "settled science", is objectively false. fMRI studies were done (I think mayo clinic) where they showed they can clearly differentiate between a male and female brain in fMRI scans, but transperson's brains did not map to the brain patterns of their claimed gender. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/is-there-something-unique-about-the-transgender-brain/ What? You should check out the actual study and not the various articles trying to spin the results. The study found that the trans brains were in fact different than the average for their birth sex, but still NOT a match for the opposite sex. They took "different from their birth sex" and spun it as "a trans person has the brain of the other sex. Settled science" and ran with it. EDIT: Here's the actual study Scientific American was writing about: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0022395610003250 Results MtF transsexuals differed from both male and female controls bilaterally in the superior longitudinal fasciculus, the right anterior cingulum, the right forceps minor, and the right corticospinal tract. Our results show that the white matter microstructure pattern in untreated MtF transsexuals falls halfway between the pattern of male and female controls. There are differences AND similarities. "Boy body with girl brain" is an oversimplification, but not outright incorrect. Teaching young kids that it is okay to be whatever they are isn't a negative. --- We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons. <cite>The Deadpool posted [p:885321968] in Kindergart...
