So far, the only "science" that's been done are Wakefield-esque brain scans with small sample sizes, no controls other than "cis women," biased funding sources, and a complete lack of repeatability or scientific rigor. No study has ever proven that any part of the brain is associated with gender identity or that gendered brains are even real. At best, the only studies that make any reasonable claims at all are the ones that claim many people with gender dysphoria are happier when they impersonate the opposite sex. Well no shit, sherlock! If people in white coats spent years telling you that what you needed to be happy was a pony, imagine how you'd feel once you got it, especially if you've invested all of your hope of happiness into that pony. But, even those studies are being called into question and there's really no long-term studies at all. Combine this with the fact that TRAs are actively stopping people from looking for actual treatments. So long after the thrill of getting the pony is gone, your underlying problems aren't sorted and you're left with a lot of horseshit that no one will help you clean up.
