I do see where you're coming from, but I can't really agree with that, since the article I provided does not really match your explanation, in both title (the premise) and the content
|
The article has an over-simplified title. As for the content:

"Our study demonstrates that although there are sex/gender differences in brain structure, brains do not fall into two classes, one typical of males and the other typical of females, nor are they aligned along a 'male brain-female brain' continuum," Daphna Joel of Tel Aviv University and colleagues wrote.

"Our study demonstrates that, although there are sex/gender differences in the brain, human brains do not belong to one of two distinct categories: male brain/female brain," they wrote.

What the study shows is that there is no single pattern that defines a ‘male’ or ‘female’ brain, and that most brains show a mix of both ‘male’ and ‘female’ traits. Because of this it’s very difficult to intuit the gender of a brain based solely on the scan.
What it
doesn’t say is that these scans prove that all brains are identical, or that you can’t make generalizations from the statistics. Look at
the figures in the original research, there is still an overall split between male and female. From that information it’s possible to make generalizations about the gender of a brain, but there’s enough variance that you’re not always going to be correct.
Further evidence that transgender people’s brains show consistencies with their perceived gender identity’s control brains:
