I genuinely do not get why intersex is always brought up in conversations about transgender. They are nothing to do with each other. Also a LOT of intersex support organizations and intersex people have requested that transactivists stop trying to conflate the two to make out that 'trans' is a kind of 'intersex'. Which it is not. But transactivists continue (so maybe this is why its often brought up in conversations about 'transgender', the purposeful blurring of lines by the people controlling the narrative..). Like they keep making out that the existence of intersex disorders mean that there is a 'spectrum' of sexes. Which is clearly silly.

Heres one of the statements of such groups (androgen insensitivity is very often brought up by transactivists) .. http://www.aissg.org/21_OVERVIEW.HTM#Terminology

And the shoddy behaviour of 'GIRES' trying to link trans and intersex - http://www.aissg.org/15_ANNOUNCE.HTM#14%20May%202000


True we still know relatively little about the brain. I find neuroscience amazing tbh. Like how a brain scan can tell you if a person is anorexic. And also how a taxidrivers brain shows up different to a non-taxi driver...because of the brains plasticity. Apparently your brain actually changes based on your own experiences... Fully prepared for if the day comes that science can tell us true pink and blue brains do exist, I will accept it if proven, obviously. I really doubt that will happen though tbh. Much more likely is neuroscientists being able to tell if someone actually has sex dysphoria from a brain scan (much like they can tell anorexics and various mental illnesses for example) rather than them actually having the brain of the opposite sex
