I will not discuss that with you, you will just say "no she did not say that" or "no it's not pseudo-scientific" or ... It is just a very useless discussion: you've already lost your credibility to my eyes (based on something objective, not based on difference of opinions, cf. the next paragraph), so I will not change my mind based on random statement by some random guy who appears untrustworthy. I would have happily…
I found your response very amusing, though perhaps not in a way you would appreciate. Thank you for taking the time to write all that out for my enjoyment.

Win win situation then, as your opinion means very little to me (you realise that, right?).

Indeed, I feel especially honoured that you laboured over so many paragraphs, in all their verbosity, to dismiss an opinion that means almost nothing to you.

I don't understand the reason for putting gender identity in quotes? There are structural differences in the brains of cis and trans gendered people which result in their respective behaviour and outcomes [1]. Womens rights are trans rights at a philosophical and ideological level, and this tactic of using "protect the women" is unfortunately used by the same people who at times act against women rights [2].

I placed it in quotes because I see it as a disputed concept that not everyone considers to be valid, and which doesn't even have a consistent definition amongst those who do. The main problem being that it conflates knowledge of one's own sex with a desire to be the opposite sex. The brain scan research, like the paper you cited, seeks neural correlates for a very strong desire to be the opposite sex, such a strong…
I think you're talking about [1]? I am not sure it agrees with your quoted point, unless you're referring to something else?
> Given that Cth, white matter integrity (indexed by FA values), and resting state functional connectivity can undergo plastic changes, it is difficult to draw definite conclusions as to whether the observed characteristics among persons with GD were innate or acquired. Distinguishing this would require longitudinal studies, optimally from childhood onwards, which was beyond the scope of the present research.
Nonetheless, there are reasons to believe that at least some of our observations reflect underlying factors rather than the effects of GD. One reason is that other conditions involving body rumination, such as anorexia nervosa (AN) and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), are not associated with similar fronto-occipital changes. Although BDD, like GD, has an early onset and is also related to the congruity between body and identity, persons with BDD have been found to display thinner rather than thicker frontal and temporal cortices compared with controls (Buchanan et al. 2013). Among subjects with AN, compared with controls, their cortex has been found to be “thinner” bilaterally in the superior parietal gyrus and in the right inferior parietal and superior frontal gyri, and their FA values found to be lower for the left corona radiate, the posterior thalamic radiation, and the left superior longitudinal fasciculus, but not in the IOF tract, as in the present study (Via et al. 2014; Fuglset et al. 2016).

Regarding your question: if you consider the evidence and conclude that trans women are women, then trans right = womens right.
