Stanford Study Shows Enormous Difference Between Male and Female Brains, No Overlap At All

A lot of people on Twitter are saying there's just no way the study is correct.

I find it ironic how this person identifies as both bisexual and non-binary

To me at least it's not ironic, it just means that they're attracted to both sexes even if they don't identify as such.

Would they not be attracted to other non-binary people?

AFAIK, that's not really what bisexual means. I think bisexual just means that you are attracted to multiple genders, so there is no reason a bisexual person couldn't be attracted to a non-binary person.

This data kind of seems like BS to me.

This data kind of seems like BS to me.

Agreed, and I say this as someone who has been described as gender critical adjacent. Are there obvious general differences between the grains of men and women? Clearly. Is it this cut and dry? I don't think so.

Hey dude, I think your obsession over gender and hormones is a bit odd. Maybe we can discuss something else?

I want to be very clear here: I know transition will be a solution for some gender dysphoric people, although I’m also aware through extensive research that studies have consistently shown that between 60-90% of gender dysphoric teens will grow out of their dysphoria. Again and again I’ve been told to ‘just meet some trans people.’ I have: in addition to a few younger people, who were all adorable, I happen to know a self-described transsexual woman who’s older than I am and wonderful. Although she’s open about her past as a gay man, I’ve always found it hard to think of her as anything other than a woman, and I believe (and certainly hope) she’s completely happy to have transitioned. Being older, though, she went through a long and rigorous process of evaluation, psychotherapy and staged transformation. The current explosion of trans activism is urging a removal of almost all the robust systems through which candidates for sex reassignment were once required to pass. A man who intends to have no surgery and take no hormones may now secure himself a Gender Recognition Certificate and be a woman in the sight of the law. Many people aren’t aware of this.

We’re living through the most misogynistic period I’ve experienced. Back in the 80s, I imagined that my future daughters, should I have any, would have it far better than I ever did, but between the backlash against feminism and a porn-saturated online culture, I believe things have got significantly worse for girls. Never have I seen women denigrated and dehumanised to the extent they are now. From the leader of the free world’s long history of sexual assault accusations and his proud boast of ‘grabbing them by the pussy’, to the incel (‘involuntarily celibate’) movement that rages against women who won’t give them sex, to the trans activists who declare that TERFs need punching and re-educating, men across the political spectrum seem to agree: women are asking for trouble. Everywhere, women are being told to shut up and sit down, or else.

I’ve read all the arguments about femaleness not residing in the sexed body, and the assertions that biological women don’t have common experiences, and I find them, too, deeply misogynistic and regressive. It’s also clear that one of the objectives of denying the importance of sex is to erode what some seem to see as the cruelly segregationist idea of women having their own biological realities or – just as threatening – unifying realities that make them a cohesive political class. The hundreds of emails I’ve received in the last few days prove this erosion concerns many others just as much.  It isn’t enough for women to be trans allies. Women must accept and admit that there is no material difference between trans women and themselves.

But, as many women have said before me, ‘woman’ is not a costume. ‘Woman’ is not an idea in a man’s head. ‘Woman’ is not a pink brain, a liking for Jimmy Choos or any of the other sexist ideas now somehow touted as progressive. Moreover, the ‘inclusive’ language that calls female people ‘menstruators’ and ‘people with vulvas’ strikes many women as dehumanising and demeaning. I understand why trans activists consider this language to be appropriate and kind, but for those of us who’ve had degrading slurs spat at us by violent men, it’s not neutral, it’s hostile and alienating.

Which brings me to the fifth reason I’m deeply concerned about the consequences of the current trans activism.

This is literally what bisexual means. Words have meanings. If they were attracted to all genders, they would have called themself a pansexual.

I don't think so? My understanding is that pansexual like a sub-label under the category of bisexuality, and specifically means that gender doesn't play a role when it comes to your attraction.

No overlap at all? Surely they’re at least roughly the same shape.

[VBM]

Frankly, this study was a waste of money. It’s obvious to anyone who isn’t terminally online that there are some neurological differences between the sexes.

Bi = Two
Sexual = Sexual

But seriously, isn't it a little odd for someone who rejects a gender or sexual binary to reinforce it by stating they're attracted to two genders?

IIRC, the "bi" part of "bisexual" refers to being both heterosexual and homosexual, it's not supposed be an exact count on the number of genders you are attracted to.

That's legitimately news to me, but I'm also still not sure how being a non-binary heterosexual or homosexual works definitionally outside of a gender binary either. I'm being pedantic as usual but this stuff always seems a bit ridiculous when you think about it for more than a moment.

[Goldwater]

TBH, I'm not entirely sure either, lol. Every non-binary person I've ever encountered has been some variety of bi or ace.

[ReallySuper]

its almost like gender and sex r two different things and ppl can b sexually/physically attracted to two sexes while not necessarily socially identifying with a heteropatriarchal definition of a gender binary, crazy concept i know

On the other hand, however, if it could be proven that the cognitive activity of trans people consistently more closely aligns with that of the opposite biological sex than their own, despite everyone else neatly conforming to one of two very distinct profiles aligning with their biological sex, I would be the first to eat crow and concede that maybe there is more to the “Wrong brain in the wrong body” theory that I thought. Unfortunately however the researchers did not examine how trans or gender non-conforming people lined up specifically. Like the author, I hope they do a follow-up that does.

We get it, you like the trans tab. Nobody judges you!

My friend, if you only knew just how kinky my wife and I are. I have zero shame or doubt about my own sexuality. It does not have and never has had anything to do with my thoughts on this matter. It’s not like I have some deep shame about my own sexuality or believe in sone ultra-conservative idea that sex should be all about male on female reproduction in the missionary position as she lies back and does it for England. In fact it’s closer to the opposite, a total rejection of traditional stereotypical gender roles and thus the implication that “I like pink and dress therefore must be woman.” I am critical of such crude, rigid, stereotypical thinking whether it comes from the left or right, simple as that.

I picked a bad week to stop sniffing glue.
