All the evidence you'll need. This, is the real science behind transgenderism | How a little experiment debunked all the homophobic reasonings: a experiment on about 2000 transgender individuals was conducted with a MRI in a hospital of Belgium. Transgender individuals would be put in the MRI and compare the brain activity to the cisgender participants and they found that a trans woman had the same brain activity as cis woman, same with the men. Some brainscans had a combination of men and woman activity aswell. Another person decided to do the same experiment but on kids and the results were the same. This debunks 4 arguements: gender isnt in the brain, two genders, trans isnt real and kids cant be LGBTQ. Chew on that homophobes | image tagged in quiet kid | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

It is in the brain

At least in the context you supplied this doesn't disprove two genders... It seems as though they were only looking at trans men and trans women (or boys and girls respectively in the experiment with the kids). Now, I don't know the specifics so they might simply not have been looking at anyone outside the gender binary. But all they managed to prove is that gender is not the same as sex, that trans women are women and trans men are men, and that the brain structure difference is already present in kids.

I'd love for them to stick me in an MRI and try to figure out my gender from my brain activity. 🤔

Wouldn't it be nice if anyone was dealing with dysphoria and they just stick you in a mri and say "yup that's a enby" and they just walk out with a little pride sticker feeling euphoric

😅 That's not quite what I had in mind but it sure would be helpful for people who don't know and have trouble figuring it out.

I was just thinking about all these questionaires that supposedly tell you your gender and usually I land pretty much exactly in the middle between male and female. But I don't feel any strong connection to having that specific or indeed any gender identity... I just don't see the point in defining gender identities in the first place. Yes, studies like the one you've mentioned have proven that trans people who identify as male or female have a similar brain structure to people who have been born male or female respectively and are happy with it. But that just means that what we call gender is basically just a version of brain structure and we group together similar brains and call that "male" or "female". And for all the other genders that will most likely be the same - they're all just some specific combination of characteristics in the brain that are different enough from other specific combinations of characteristics in the brain to define them as different things. But where does it end? Afterall, every person is different in one way or another. Having seperate boxes to put people into seperates the people and that usually leads to an "us vs. them"-mentality (just look at the inequality between men and women - let alone all the rest).

I just think the world would be a better place if we considered everyone part of the group "human" and not split them up by gender (or race or whatever else artificial classification people come up with). That's why I don't feel like I have a gender identity - it literally means nothing to me to "have a gender". I have seen this classified as "apogender" but I don't even like that name - it's just another box to put people into. I don't know.. I might be fairly alone in this but it's the only way it all makes sense to me.

although there’s different types of enby, with different brain activities, so…

Yes, I know I never specified that but there was a spectrum of brain activitys

Yeah. You didn’t mention it in here though. But they even found differences between girlflux and genderfae brains, and those are incredibly similar.

I didn't know what genders they tested on all I know is that they tested trans and cis individuals and enby brain activity was reported
0 ups, 3y
Yeah. Ofc. That’s the most obvious and it still proves transphobic rhetoric wrong. But I just happened to stumble on that when searching for cool girlflux stuff to post, and if genders that similar have differences, there’s no way that the polar binary genders are exactly the same.
