Science shows: Yes! Trans people are born that way! We can tell from brain scans.

There are brain scans showing a significant difference in the brains of trans women and trans men.

To quickly summarize the links of information:  Trans women’s brains are more female, and trans men’s brains are more male.  Their brain identifies more with their identified gender (as in a trans woman identifying as a woman in every day life) rather than their sex (genitalia, and such).

Told ya so.

I’m curious to what NB people’s brains look like

Awesome study!  Thanks XD

this is basically what you have been saying this whole time, right?

YES

Like, there are structural differences in the brain between male and female and trans people’s brain (excluding nonbinary here because as far as I know nobody did such a study on them yet) tend to resemble the brain structures of their cis pendants more than they resemble what you’d expect based on sex.
