I remember reading a study where they where trying to find structural differences between cis and trans, and they concluded that brain structures having similarities with the opposite sex are common in homosexuals, but not people with gender dysphoria. Like, if you are an androphilic male, your grey matter looks girlier than a cishet males & gynophilic MtF, but not as girly as androphilic females. The only study I've found to have observed that there's difference in white matter(which stops developing during middle age) surrounding the thalamus(not hypothalamus) is a post-mortem study of trans people that had been under Hormone Replacement Therapy, but with MtF people that hadn't been under HRT there was no observable difference* in either white or grey matter when compared to the cis male control outside the putamen, where they were larger than cis males but still smaller than cis women.
So what brain scans show is that they have difference with the bit that controls motor functions, learning**, and feedback(somatic nervous system).
So the "brain in body of opposite sex" thing would lead homosexuality to come with a nearly 100% rate of gender dysphoria. The bit homo & het T show differences in seems to be related to how they perceive their bodies, at most their brains are hermaphroditic, rather than male or female.
*When sexuality is taken out of the equation
**Similar results have been found in multilingual populations, which explains why mainland Europe is so full of the gays, most of them speak at least 2(English and whatever) by necessity.
Question is: Anyone know of studies to the contrary?
