Oh that first source is Scientific American?

Where have I seen that recently? Oh yeah.

Ah, good ol' youtube randos respond. "Matt Walsh is a writer, speaker, author, and one of the religious Right's most influential young voices. He is known for boldly tackling the tough subjects..."

LMAO description written by him, no doubt. Humble guy, just like Jesus taught people to be.

"
In a fascinating study published May 2018 by the European Society of Endocrinology researchers discovered, “Brain activity and structure in transgender adolescents more closely resembles the typical activation patterns of their desired gender.”

When MRI scans of 160 transgender youths were analyzed using a technique called diffusion tensor imaging, the brains of transgender boys’ resembled that of cisgender boys’, while the brains of transgender girls’ brains resembled the brains of cisgender girls’.

Put simply, transgender kids’ brains resemble their gender identity and not their biological sex."

I'm always fascinated when I read something like this, because most lefty scientists actually claim the complete opposite is true -- that brain imaging studies cannot differentiate male brains from female brains. See for instance: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763421000804

Both of these things cannot be true.

Rando? He's with the Daily Wire. Has a whole team of people working on his show. So most likely did not write that description. Though funny you go after his character instead of his arguments.

The science is going to change or be updated like 50 times and people are going to claim to know for sure the entire way.

It's hard to trust anything political. Humans are just too biased.

That description notably leaves out any mention of medical or scientific expertise. What's he done in the field of biology? Endocrinology, perhaps? Physiology? Statistics for Dummies even?

Maybe we will finally confirm that mens brains are bigger, stronger and better

Interesting. I will try to remember to give that a thorough going-over when I have more time. LOL @ lefty scientists though.
 
You should look at the pseudioscientist who coined all the gender ideology thats spewed about today:

John Money was a psychologist and sexologist from New Zealand who was one of the most prominent doctors in the field of gender theory and the idea of gender being a social cosntruct. In fact, He was one of the first researchers to publish theories on the influence of societal constructs of gender on individual formation of gender identity. Money introduced the terms gender identity, gender role and sexual orientation and popularised the term paraphilia.

Working with endocrinologist Claude Migeon, Money established the Johns Hopkins Gender Identity Clinic, the first clinic in the United States to perform sexual reassignment surgeries on both infants and adults. He spent a considerable amount of his career in the United States.


I suggest reading his wiki page and seeing how his actions are tying back into what the left considers to be "progressive" today.

Warning: it gets very dark

LOl @ anyone living in a fantasy land where scientists are immune to political bias.
Yes, any scientist. Precisely. Except the only reason this is a political topic at all is because trumped up right wing outrage demands it.

So you moved from attacking his character to attacking his credentials. Maybe try calling him ugly next?

This is a profoundly dishonest post.

John Money coined the term gender identity, but transgender people have existed for as long as people have existed. Decades before Money coined the term, the phenomenon of gender dysphoria and sex-change were studied.

John Money was also an quack whose experiments were unethical and immoral. The Reimer case is shocking and criminal IMO. It also, at its core, has nothing to do with transgender people. The child in question was not transgender.

Transphobes love to pretend that the work of John Money is what spawned the ideology of today, when in fact it's only one(very dark) chapter in the evolution of the understanding of gender.

he literally is the pioneer of this pseudoscience. the ideology of today is rooted in quackery. Its all nonsense. People are spouting the same nonsense he coined and perpetuated.


including you *cough cough*
 
You have no idea what you are talking about, as usual.

convenient for you to ignore this.

a pseudoscience coined from a literal madman

still a pseudoscience
I didn't ignore it. You just have reading comprehension issues.

And do you really think that some guy in the 20th century invented transgenderism?

Money was a New Zealand-American sexologist whose groundbreaking work with intersex and transgender people was enormously influential in shaping today's attitudes and discussions about gender and sexuality.
Goldie says that Money may have failed patients by encouraging them to conform to a binary understanding of sex and gender that he himself didn't entirely believe. At the same time, he played a significant role in helping transgender people in the early days of medical invention find support to live in their affirmed gender.

"Money's position on the trans person was, I think, brilliant," Goldie says. "He believed that if you were a biological male and believed yourself to be a female that it was an idée fixe — it was so important to you as a person that it could not be contradicted."

Goldie says that Money didn't search for biological evidence of transgender identity, but accepted a patient's conviction as fact.
