Usually, when I see the word "Debunked" in the title of an article I expect more than just the author's personal conjectures.Here's a perspective that questions the research that indicates gender identity is brain-based and innate.

Debunked: The Transgender 'Brain Sex' Argument
The notion that “gender identity” is brain-based and innate has captured the political left. This article explains how to debunk transgender "brain sex" conjecture.buttonslives.substack.com
Some information about the author for those who don't like to Google on their own. I had never heard of her before.

You are correct. There will be little motivation to determine whether it is true since we see what happens to people who claim sex is binary or that biological women need private spaces and competitions made up of only biological women. Even assuming that it is true scientifically, there are underlying problems with allowing individuals to proclaim they know what brain they have. But, I suppose nothing says I am a woman, and I have a woman's brain like punching another woman in the face or threatening other women with your womanly male genitalia because you disagree with them.Oh wow that’s really funny
Some of the harshest criticism of the brain research has come from the scientific left. There are two grounds for it: a) it shows that there is something wrong with trans people, equating it to a disability, and b) it buys into stereotypes that there are differences in the way men and women think: blue and pink brains. There’s even an op ed in scientific America denouncing such research…2021 iirc. So it’s funny to see it from the right too.
shades of the entire sockma argument criticizing sports involvement from the far left perspective since gender is merely a construct. The far left and the right appear actually agree on quite a bit here as well if for different reasons. The trans people appear to be getting it from both sides potentially.
the hormone point is a valid critique of the studies but it’s been noted that both those on hormones and those without were included in them: you should have seen a difference between them but the data didn’t show that. Still it’s a fair point there should have been a control to see if there’s any difference. Thegay brain has been looked at and it’s also true they show some similar tendencies to the opposite gender, at least in gay men. Again not studied (because the left now objects to such studies since they affirm differences between men and women in their brains and it potentially could be inferred there is something wrong with the brains of gay men) but the observations within the prior research noted that while not quantified, different areas of the brain appear affected. Still we won’t come to an answer on this last part because any such research will be shut down as taboo and there is therefore no way to prove the authors position is wrong even though observational anecdotal data shows the author is likely in error
Since you are obviously well-read in the studies in this field, I anxiously await your evidence that refutes her claim "The majority of the studies on the “transgender brain” have a fatal flaw: they didn’t control for confounding variables like cross-sex hormone use and, most importantly, sexual orientation."Usually, when I see the word "Debunked" in the title of an article I expect more than just the author's personal conjectures.
Yes and it worries me any time the far right and left agree on an issue. Scary.You are correct. There will be little motivation to determine whether it is true since we see what happens to people who claim sex is binary or that biological women need private spaces and competitions made up of only biological women.

She (it is "she", right? We have to ask these days) brought up some good points to consider, but it does not rise to the level of "debunked". In any event it is irrelevant to the topic under discussion.Since you are obviously well-read in the studies in this field, I anxiously await your evidence that refutes her claim "The majority of the studies on the “transgender brain” have a fatal flaw: they didn’t control for confounding variables like cross-sex hormone use and, most importantly, sexual orientation."
If she is correct that studies didn't control for the confounding variables, then a conclusion that there is a "trans brain" is unfounded. Maybe debunked is not precise, and unfounded would have been a better word choice.She (it is "she", right?

I have a feeling that you don 't understand my position on this issue (which I assume is still "trans eligibility rules for girls sports").
It's funny. Whenever I hear "debunked", it immediately makes me suspicious of anything that comes next. Given everything that's happened since COVID, that's probably the correct reaction. It's been an interesting three years.Usually, when I see the word "Debunked" in the title of an article I expect more than just the author's personal conjectures.
"Being like a woman" is not the point, Any individual who has passed through puberty as a male has physical advantages over those who have not.If she is correct that studies didn't control for the confounding variables, then a conclusion that there is a "trans brain" is unfounded. Maybe debunked is not precise, and unfounded would have been a better word choice.
I'd also argue it is very relevant to this issue. The more "science" behind MtF trans being like a woman, the stronger the argument that they should be included in woman's sports.

You are preaching to the choir here on that point, but I'm pretty sure our "votes" don't matter."Being like a woman" is not the point, Any individual who has passed through puberty as a male has physical advantages over those who have not.
Politics must give way to reality at some point. It seems that the current debate is boiling down to at which age does the inevitable segregation takes place -- High school sports? College? Pros?You are preaching to the choir here on that point, but I'm pretty sure our "votes" don't matter.
Anyone that wants to be taken seriously about about gun control and talks about "assault weapons" bans shouldn't be taken very seriously. Handguns are used far and away more often in mass shootings than ar's or even the pcc's they're calling "assault style rifles" now. To add on, gang shootings kill more people than mass shootings including children.
Just Snip It!
I know a dear parent (dp) who is so confused with what his dd has to do in order to play soccer. I actually feel his pain and I feel sad for his dd, who has to STFU, do as told, take all jabs and wear as told or else.

please tell us why Rambo..Gosh, I wonder why the Louisville shooter went with an AR-15 and not a handgun?
please tell us why Rambo..
I'll give you my thoughts on that as soon as you explain where you found that ar's have 10x the lethality of a handgun...I'll be waiting a while.Gosh, I wonder why the Louisville shooter went with an AR-15 and not a handgun?
Really? How so?Because guns kill people, and AR-15s do so more effectively than handguns.
ok frothy, stick to your talking points...please go on...differentiate between the two..please...explain to me the difference between a dead person with 5.56/223 holes vs 9mm holes (or pick any other type of caliber hole).Because guns kill people, and AR-15s do so more effectively than handguns.

Because that's what we need to be talking about right...ammo calibers and how guns spontaneously go off in areas where there are people.
You do realize the ar is just a platform that can be chambered in almost every round and that what the military uses isnt what's available to us civilians right? But you already knew that right? Btw hows the googling going for an ar being 10x more lethal than a handgun? Sit this one out mijo.So you’re saying our military should just get rid of AR-15s and use handguns since they’re equally lethal? Sure Mr. Gun Nutter.
