I think we’re agreed on legal decisions should independent of finance. My second point is cis-trans conversations need to include neuroanatomy if they’re to include our current and best understanding of science.

If it has something interesting to say, bring it on.

Cis and trans people present differently in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, also in somatostatins. Agree/disagree.

I have no idea, but that's fine. What are the implications of that?

Firstly it means cis-trans is measurable in neuroanatomy, not a delusion, pretending, wardrobe, or predatory. Do we agree so far?

I have to take you at your word on it, but I'm happy to do that for the conversation. I'd have questions about whether the subjects were controlled for sexuality, co-morbidities etc You're saying we have a test for trans then?

Yes. Cis-trans is measurable in neuroanatomy. But do ask your question about co-morbidities in reference to living people. Did AI write your reply, cos I reckon you could’ve done better by thinking about it.

It was a serious observation. Co-morbidity is the term used in the UK mental health sector. I thought you were here for a conversation, but if you’re going to waste your character limit on tiresome put downs we can end this right here. On your second point:

That’s interesting - huge implications for paediatric gender medicine if true. Also:

If we have a test for trans we can go to Amy George & Sarah Jane Baker & Katie Dolatowski & Isla Bryson & Scarlet Blake & Tanya Howes & Karen White & Katie Birtles etc etc and when they test negative we can tell them they’re not women after all. On the other hand:

If they test positive that’s interesting too, because then we have an objectively identifiable cohort who share a trait, but are still objectively not women because: 1. They’re male 2. Crucially, in one area where sex really matters – violence & sexual violence - they offend at the male rate.
