It's a touchy subject but for less than 0.05% of the global population or less than 0.5% of the global population, the way it's pushed down peoples throats you would think it was for something in the region of 30% of the global population. |
Unfortunately (for the trans lobby) studies like this one - and including this one - suffer from multiple issues, including the inability of other researchers to replicate results, small sample size and failure to control for other factors, such as, in this case, the sexual orientation of participants. The affirmative language used in the abstract is the first major red flag as to the presuppositions of the researchers who produced this study.
It is fair to say that the very idea of ‘brain sex’ along with others (e.g. ‘hormone sex’) exists so as to attempt to muddy the actually very clear way in which we classify sex in all mammals, including humans. This is not based on measurements of brains, hormones or anything else, it is a simple observation of which of two developmental pathways the body is organised for - and there are only two developmental pathways available, one which produces large gametes, i.e. eggs, the other produces small, i.e. sperm, and the names for these two pathways are ‘female’ and ‘male’.
