I'll probably take flack for this but...

I'm kind of two people sharing the same body. A division of mind, two personalities with some shared memories.
I read some posts in this community & go "Yes... that sounds familiar. I'm glad I'm not alone."
I read some posts and go "Riiight... nutter, nut-ter. Notjob"
This place occasionally makes me feel sane because I read things from literate inteligent people who just happen to be sharing a body with others. Occasionally it makes me feel sane because I read posts and realise that I'm a healty sane multiple, not insane like the poster.

I'll not single out any individuals (forgive the pun) but the nut-job posts I read usually ... heck. I'm not going to give examples. I think you know which ones I'm refering to.

Save that there are Danish studies that have (admittedly in a small sampling) autopsied brains of known transgendered individuals, and found similarities to female brains (for 'biologically male' bodies).

Just sayin'.

We're aware that there are numerous studies about the brain and gender, sexuality, and transgenderism. They're just people looking for a possible explanation. Not to mention that the results of any medical studies are horribly oversimplified whenever they're reported in the media.

The point remains the same. There are a lot more things a person could have objections to when someone claims to have the brain of the opposite gender than when someone states how they view themselves. You can disreguard the science that both supports or disproves the gendered brain model and simply look at the person's identity.
