Esrac 07/19/17 3:22:39 PM #1:	http://stanmed.stanford.edu/2017spring/how-mens-and-womens-brains-are-different.html An article from Stanford Medicine. Apparently research over the past 15 years or so has shown, despite accusations of neurosexism and dismissal by sociologists, that there are consistent differences in the way men and women's brains tend to operate. Not just cultural socialization. Excerpts: In her preface to the first edition, Halpern wrote: “At the time, it seemed clear to me that any between-sex differences in thinking abilities were due to socialization practices, artifacts and mistakes in the research, and bias and prejudice. ... After reviewing a pile of journal articles that stood several feet high and numerous books and book chapters that dwarfed the stack of journal articles … I changed my mind.” Why? There was too much data pointing to the biological basis of sex-based cognitive differences to ignore, Halpern says. For one thing, the animal-research findings resonated with sex-based differences ascribed to people. These findings continue to accrue. In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys. Halpern and others have cataloged plenty of human behavioral differences. “These findings have all been replicated,” she says. Women excel in several measures of verbal ability — pretty much all of them, except for verbal analogies. Women’s reading comprehension and writing ability consistently exceed that of men, on average. They outperform men in tests of fine-motor coordination and perceptual speed. They’re more adept at retrieving information from long-term memory. Men, on average, can more easily juggle items in working memory. They have superior visuospatial skills: They’re better at visualizing what happens when a complicated two- or three-dimensional shape is rotated in space, at correctly determining angles from the horizontal, at tracking moving objects and at aiming projectiles. and... Brain-imaging studies indicate that these differences extend well beyond the strictly reproductive domain, Cahill says. Adjusted for total brain size (men’s are bigger), a woman’s hippocampus, critical to learning and memorization, is larger than a man’s and works differently. Conversely, a man’s amygdala, associated with the experiencing of emotions and the recollection of such experiences, is bigger than a woman’s. It, too, works differently, as Cahill’s research has demonstrated. In 2000, Cahill scanned the brains of men and women viewing either highly aversive films or emotionally neutral ones. The aversive films were expected to trip off strong negative emotions and concomitant imprinting in the amygdala, an almond-shaped structure found in each brain hemisphere. Activity in the amygdala during the viewing experience, as expected, predicted subjects’ later ability to recall the viewed clips. But in women, this relationship was observed only in the left amygdala. In men, it was only in the right amygdala. Cahill and others have since confirmed these results. --- http://steamcommunity.com/id/Esrac <cite>Esrac posted [p:883215716] in Stanford M...

Pastryarchy 07/19/17 7:38:14 PM #20:	I think it's better to just recognize trans people as special or unique cases, because objectively they are. They're a minority population and have some differences from the majority of people. IMO, that's not innately a bad thing to recognize while still enabling them to function as the gender they comfortably identify as. I'm also partial to the theory that trans people can have differences in their brain activity that basically mimic the gender they identify as. My opinion is that "if it quacks like a duck, thinks like a duck, looks like a duck...it might as well be a duck ". I'm not touching the "genderless" movement, too many elephants in that room.

There exists both the framework for this to be possible, i.e. the fact that men and women have differences in their brains, and a few studies showing that transgender individuals have brains significantly more like those of the opposite sex than the norm. (https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/85/5/2034/2660626/Male-to-Female-Transsexuals-Have-Female-Neuron for example).
