  • I do mean person born a male that wants to become female. Anti-trans people often make points that trans people are just forced into being trans by the trans-mafia (or whatever term they use) aka social pressure. A brain scan indicating a female brain would counter that. But as I said, they’d probably find other excuses “it’s a mental disease that can be treated” and so on and so forth.

    I was saying it would be less interesting if it scanned say a female-to-male trans person and returned a result of female (correctly guessing the sex but not the gender), than if it had returned a result of male (that is correctly guessing the gender but not the sex).

    That would embolden the anti-trans crowd.

    Science is ongoing though, so who knows what the results will be.

    HackerNews is full of these kind of people

    HackerNews: Why the fuck would you do that, you nincompoop?

    Contributor: I… thought it would be fun after shitty days at work

    HackerNews: You could be spending your time making money or contributing to $subjectivelyMoreImportantProject. Be ashamed

    People who can’t accept that some people just want to have fun and do what they like.
