in 1988, the pope had piece of cloth carbon dated. they found out it was from 1200's. for centuries some people thought it was a shirt worn by jesus. sci fi novels seem real. but theyre not. if you x ray someones brain, it looks different if they are religious or not. does that mean religion is real? peoples brains look slightly different with different ethnic background and if gay or not. but they dont look differnt for people with differnt gender ID. people who claim it does are once again grouping gender ID, which is a hobby like fishing or sports, with gay sexuality, an immutable trait that doesnt change. the story of the five blind men and the elephant doesnt work in reverse. and thats what people are trying to do when they claim gender ID is a thing. sometimes a rope is just a rope. and tree is just a tree. because we are all blind to what we dont know. some are claiming these things are elephants

Dimorphic psychological characteristics between men and women are well known within the scientific field and beyond. They are not discrete, like sex, but they are no less real for that. People who claim to be the opposite sex to their phenotypic sex are also real. Although there are several reasons for this, it is not possible to completely rule out the existence of people whose brain configuration corresponds more to the opposite sex or to an intermediate position; the mechanism would be similar to that which explains homosexuality.

There are studies that, even after considering the confounding variable of homosexual orientation, continue to find brain differences between the brains of trans and cis people. https://academic.oup.com/cercor/article/29/5/2084/5062356?login=false

Dimorphic characteristics can be mimicked. when that occurs in this context its just more of the same garbage where men off load their worrys via the vice of gender ID, which is no differnt than other vices. ask a heroin addict if his habit helps or hurts. if he thinks he can continue his habit by saying it helps, he will say it. a better question is how can man avoid harmful vices. one way is recognition that vices are harmful and should be avoided. ciggarette smoking was reduced substantially after a public information campaign warning of its dangers. prior to that, there were plenty of people in denial that cigarettes were even harmful. theres nothing holy about studies. often they are complete garbage. we now know 1000s of studys about gender this are that are complete garbage. based on opinions only, with zero evidence to their claims. the only thing it proves is that people are unable to escape their own biases and opinions.
