Altered White Matter and Sensory Response to Bodily Sensation in Female-to-Male Transgender Individuals

@DreadPirateEsk @oolon They did another study with trans men and breast tissue which adds some support to their theories. It's a shame there haven't been many bigger follow-up studies. https://t.co/XVV1LFN4ye

i want more studies on trans neurology and i dont mean stuff like ''brain sex'' i mean the studies ramachandran et al were doing in the 2000s concerning hardwired brain mapping, bc its fascinating https://t.co/sZ1LDmj9Gu

@mitchpberg @WalterHudson it really is, like homosexuality, early studies say it’s a lot more complicated - https://t.co/RwibpFnpY6

tl:dr - early studies are showing that trans people are wired differently and it’s not just a mental state - https://t.co/RwibpFnpY6 - (kinda like early days of figuring out why people are gay, it’s complicated, but not a mental disorder)

@Poppy_yyyyyyyy @rosemeryfana @AlanBeatty123 Trans men are documented as literally experiencing phantom sensation from their penis the same way Cis men who have had theirs removed do phantom breasts are experienced by trans women in the same way we have br

@The2023Edition @HiddenByLil @witteringwitch @PaulaCoyscot I'm assuming you have some kind of neuroscience background to back up that claim? The leading scientist in the field would disagree with you. Although most studies have been exploratory so far. htt

@joaneburgos I get what you're trying to say but transphobia doesn't cause the parietal lobe to literally dissociate with certain body parts fundamentally. No transphobia would make things easier, but it wouldn't stop SRS or surgery from happening at all.
