Heya again,
two posts in a row (to make up for the long hiatus?) 😏
This study is perfect to complement my last post, which was also about brain differences in transsexuals.
A new study by Guillamon, Junque and Gómez-Gil is called A Review of the Status of Brain Structure Research in Transsexualism (Archives of sexual behavior, 2016). They find:
Cortical thickness and diffusion tensor imaging studies suggest that the brain of MtFs presents complex mixtures of masculine, feminine, and demasculinized regions, while FtMs show feminine, masculine, and defeminized regions. Consequently, the specific brain phenotypes proposed for MtFs and FtMs differ from those of both heterosexual males and females.
Reviewed were studies about the brain structure of male-to-female (MtF) and female-to-male (FtM) homosexual transsexuals before and after cross-sex hormone treatment
.
I’d say that’s another study providing evidence for the view that brain structures of transsexuals differ from those of cisgender people.
Peace and Light ✨
