The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

You're viewing a single thread.
So when you transition, does this part of the brain get lobotomized?
No, though brain physiology does respond to hormonal shifts.
This doesn't invalidate trans folks. No one says they are physically completely equal to cis people. It just doesn't matter.
I must assume this was said in bad faith, if so, stop.
It was a stab at women, actually. No, I don't regret it.
I have nothing against transatlantic people, nor their accents.
In the brain there are high concentrations of male sex hormone (androgen) receptors throughout cerebral cortex, especially in the visual cortex which is responsible for processing images. Androgens are also responsible for controlling the development of neurons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis
Probably not. This happens during very early stages of development. Transitioning shouldn't have an impact, but I don't know if research has been done on that.
