>>11772901>Gender, in the modern sense of the word, cannot be directly scientifically studied. Science is about predicting and explaining worldly phenomena.Of course it can be studied, ever heard about gender studies?
>You're avoiding the question. Educate me.No, even if you identify as a child it doesn't mean you're one
I made fun of your question because analogy you're trying to set up here is pretty dumb in this context
>There are significant differences between male brains and female brains, which cause men and women to behave differently from each other.absolutely
>Someone who considers himself a "trans woman" has a male brain, and hence male patterns of behavior, and that cannot be changed.Here's where you're wrong, do you think if a person has XY chromosomes and a dick they automatically have a male brain? if yes then you are simply mistaken, seriously I advice you reading about it, some people are born with female brains despite male chromosomes, thats how biology works
>the only criterion you claim determines gender is what that person believes their gender is what determines their gender is their brain, but obviously if they have female brain then they will identify as a female, pretty simple isn't it?
>why do people who claim to be "trans women" choose to get their genitalia severely mutilated and dress like a female?to deal with their gender dysphoria, it makes them feel more comfortable with themselves
>Or if it is not the case, then at what point do you claim a man becomes a woman?its not the case, they are women from the very beginning
