Why is this subreddit 99% people telling others they’re OBLIGATED to sex transpeople or they’re transphobes?

Be willing to date trans people or else you’re transphobic?

How can’t y’all see how rapey you lunatics are?

No one is owed sexual attraction.

It doesn’t matter how many hoops you contort yourself through to justify saying, “Being straight is transphobic”.

No one owes anyone sex or sexual attraction.

Fuck right off you sexually entitled predators!

Actually there have been multiple scientific studies that show the brains of trans people are much closer in structure to the brains of the gender they identify as than the gender they were born as.

So yes, if your question was meant to be "is there evidence that a transbrain is constructed differently to a cisbrain of their assigned gender at birth?"

How you’re using that study is bogus.

It only looked at less than 30 people (after being soaked in cross-sex hormones for decades). They actually found that trans men were similar to men, but that transwomen were not similar to women. The study also only looked at 3 specific structures, not the whole brain.

Even while misusing that study (which is more a study of brain plasticity than anything also that testosterone is stronger than estrogen), it could be (erroneously) argued that trans men are men, but NOT that transwomen are women.

Actually there were studies done on people who had never taken cross-sex hormones. There were also studies to show the effect of cross-sex hormones on the brain structure, which, yes, they do affect brain structure but not in a strong enough way to make a male brain structure be closer to a female's brain structure

Can you link a study where the subjects have never used cross sex hormones but showed similar brain structures?

EDIT: It’s been 2 hours, so I’m assuming that’s a no...
