@aeonofbarbelo @jeannestradiol @ForthInas @sleepy_devo You went from a bad, outdated study to an even worse poorly-conducted survey result? lol

brain scans DO show differences between cis hetero men, cis homo men, and trans women. however, after controlling for sexual orientation, trans women brain scans are more aligned with male brain scans in all areas except self-perception (which is to be expected)
Queen Chimerazilla ☭🐾 🏳️⚧️@Qveen_Potato
The key point from this meta analysis is that while most brain features still resemble natal sex (which is expected because brain sex differences are not binary), trans people consistently show patterns that shift toward their gender identity. In contrast, homosexual individuals show brain patterns similar to their same sex heterosexuality cohorts. This distinction matters because it shows gender identity and sexual orientation are neurologically different phenomenon. Trans neuroscience research repeatedly finds mixed but directionally consistent gender-aligned features, whereas homosexual brain studies mostly show variation within the same-sex population. Tldr: Gender identity research shows measurable neurological alignment with their experienced gender in brain structures.

@NeoDogmaX @sleepy_devo Because there are already known sexual orientation-related differences for homosexual and heterosexual people, but no “trans-specific” ones.
It’s to avoid confusing sexual orientation effects with self perception or “gender identity” effects.
English
@sleepy_devo What's the point of controlling for sexual orientation here?
English
@aeonofbarbelo @ForthInas @jeannestradiol @sleepy_devo Nobody (not even you) believes that some men are women.
English
@ForthInas @lefttheleftffs @jeannestradiol @sleepy_devo Theyre women youre literally calling them women when you’re saying trans women. Ya big dumb idiot
English
@aeonofbarbelo @jeannestradiol @ForthInas @sleepy_devo I’m female. Born female. Love my body and love my wife who is also female.
English
@lefttheleftffs @jeannestradiol @ForthInas @sleepy_devo You’re literally a male pretending to be a lesbian online to troll people tho so aren’t you a male lesbian
English
@TheOldeWyrm @sleepy_devo 😂 stop 🤣
These variants are part of normal human genetic variation and are found across the population. They are NOT unique to trans people.
“Found in a sample” ≠ “found only in that group.”
English
English
@aeonofbarbelo @jeannestradiol @ForthInas @sleepy_devo Dude, it’s 2026…nobody is pretending to believe this shit anymore. Men who call themselves “transwomen” are just men who call themselves “transwomen”. There cannot and never will be a male lesbian.
English
@lefttheleftffs @jeannestradiol @ForthInas @sleepy_devo By definition, yes, a lesbian is a woman attracted to another woman
English
@Amor_Kitsune @sleepy_devo It really doesn’t matter. Small brain differences exist across all human traits including groups with the same mental disorder, personality trait, and even political beliefs all share some brain patterns. Its group-level patterns, not unique brain types.
English
@sleepy_devo Cool to see this avenue of research isn't being abandoned like I thought it was ten years ago.
I was always curious to see if they controlled for before or after HRT though.
English
English
@TheOldeWyrm @sleepy_devo No. There is no set of genes or variants that exist only in transgender people.
English
@sleepy_devo Dev omits that there are multiple studies out there that have identified 20 or so gene variations found only in trans people. Nothing to do with self perception, but everything to do with estrogen release.
But you just wanna be right I get it.
English
English
@jeannestradiol @sleepy_devo It's even more accurate to say that trans women attracted to women are straight men
English
@jeannestradiol @sleepy_devo Yes, because “trans women attracted to other women” are heterosexual males.
English
@sleepy_devo It’s more accurate to say that the scans showed that trans women attracted to other women had the same level as men attracted to women which is essentially a measure of sexual orientation rather than gender ID
English
@sleepy_devo The study shows mostly male-typical patterns with some differences in self-perception regions…not “female brains.” 🙄
Brain differences exist for many human traits like mental health, personality, even political tendencies. They’re not unique and they’re not diagnostic.
English
@sirbu_anastasia @ToddWitteles @HazelAppleyard Sexuality is not “genderality” 🙄 …you’re just being homophobic.
English
@lefttheleftffs @ToddWitteles @HazelAppleyard That’s. Not how that works 😭 sexuality is about what gender you’re attracted to. You can obviously have preferences to date or not date trans people but… you’re just being transphobic.
English
Isn’t it interesting that hormone therapy can change a persons sexuality?
English
@wafflecuckballs Everything about tran$ is homophobic.

yall think theres a trans person out there whose homophobic
English
If you refer to trans women exclusively as trans women, even in context where the fact they’re trans doesn’t matter
but you refer to cìs women exclusively as women, even in contexts where the fact they’re cìs matters
THEN YOU ARE TRANSPHOBIC AND OTHERING TRANS WOMEN

@mvaneerde @jtylerb @legaltweetz Equating women who don’t want men in spaces meant for the privacy and protection of women and girls with pedophiles is….
… misogyny. Hatred, contempt and prejudice against women and girls.
It’s also straight up insane and never gonna happen.
English
@jtylerb @legaltweetz Equating transgender people with pedophiles is...
(... wait for it...)
... transphobia

J.K. Rowling commenting on my detransition post last summer welcoming me back to womanhood. Hands down & I’ve been on this app since 2008. She’s actually a very lovely human & I was wrong about her when I identified as trans. If J.K. & I can move on from our differences, anyone can.

@mvaneerde @Gablesgreen134 @__IZ_US__ @legaltweetz And for your problems, you’ve chosen a life ranting nonsense into the abyss of social media 🤷♀️
English
@Gablesgreen134 @__IZ_US__ @legaltweetz Everyone has problems.
Ms. Rowling, instead of dealing with her problem like a normal person, has chosen to use her immense wealth to make it everyone else's problem too
English
@JLTPoetry @SayonaraShtbird @legaltweetz Omg. If you make a claim, the burden is on you to back it up. You made a claim you couldn’t back up. Sit down.
English
@SayonaraShtbird @legaltweetz You claim that it’s a claim. The burden of proof is on you to back that up.
English
@JLTPoetry @SayonaraShtbird @legaltweetz Already proved it. That’s why she’s not locked up. WTF is wrong with you?
English
@SayonaraShtbird @legaltweetz If she’s innocent, I’m sure JK Rowling will prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she isn’t a pedophile.

@JLTPoetry @shadowstrophe @unlv59 @StephenM lol, it was the “white” settlers who created the official port that welcomed your grandfather. How could you not know this? 🙄
English
@shadowstrophe @unlv59 @StephenM “True citizens” as in blood claim to the land. Only indigenous can say that.
My grandfather was an immigrant. It would be hypocritical of me to have an issue with immigration.
He also came in through an official port of entry, unlike the original white settlers.

Offering “birthright citizenship” to the world when the world is just one plane trip from the United States steals the actual birthright of every American.
