The research that Russo examined she explained correctly: Biological males and females differ from each other on certain subtle, non-learned features of the brain and body, and some samples of transsexuals are in-between on these features.  That is, they were shifted away from what is typical for their sex-at-birth and towards the other sex.  Taken by itself, this would indeed seem like strong evidence that transsexuality in biological males is caused by having “feminine” or “feminized” features of the brain, and ditto for females/masculine/masculinized.

Unfortunately Russo’s analysis excludes other, closely related research that would have led her to a different conclusion: Namely, gay men and lesbians show the same shifts! That is, the differences are not specific to transgenderism.

...in the MRI study Russo describes (Zubiaurre-Elorza et al., 2013), all of the male-to-female transsexuals were attracted to men, but all of the control males were attracted to women, and all of the female-to-male transsexuals were attracted to women, but all the control females were attracted to men.

Now, let us compare that with the Savic and Arver study: They also analyzed male-to-female transsexuals (24 in total), but these were male-to-female transsexuals who were attracted to women. Savic and Arver contrasted them with 24 control males who were attracted to women, and with 24 control females who were attracted to men. Like Rametti, Savic and Arver contrasted the male controls with the female controls to find the brain features where males and females differ (there were eight), but found the transsexual group to differ from the male controls on none (Savic & Arver, 2010, Table 3).

Really not a fan of the trans brigade’s tactic of saying “I just want to understand why you hate women”, when in reality they’re trying to convince you that “ladybrain” is real.  You understand perfectly fine.

If ladybrain existed, if there were a single biological/evolutionary reason for why male and female brains would be differentiated, that reason would be:  the caretaking of children.  How interesting that so many MTF transitioners are deadbeat dads.

peak trans: ladybrain

I think the first step for me was reading Cordelia Fine and her (excellent) debunking of all the 'ladybrains are bad at x and men are good at analytical thought' bullshit. I realised it didn't really make sense to say someone had 'a woman's brain', and found the idea pretty offensive. The more I thought about it the more it seemed like the whole trans narrative was so reductive and offensive to women. source
