There are some rare times when boy and girl is hard to define but it is incredibly rare.

I am saying we have to expand our definition of male/female acceptable brain types. Its ok to have a n effeminate man. That doesn't magically make him a her.

A proper scientific definition should handle edge cases.

I mean the brain is exactly the same as what would fall within the "female" spectrum in every way we can measure.

Again, I really don't care what other people want to refer to someone as, or how they want to refer to themselves.

That's each person's prerogative.

However, there is an actual field of study which is ideally exists outside of the political and cultural bullshit surrounding this issue.

I personally prefer the conclusions of unbiased research to any emotionally charged assertions coming out of the SJW/ultra-con shitshow.

" unbiased research" is not something I believe exists.

A proper scientific definition does not handle all the edge cases. That is naive. It fails when we talk about weather a virus is alive. It fails hard when we talk about what constitutes a species. Sometimes, good solid definitions just can't cover everything.

You also say "every way we can measure" which is the real problem isn't it? You seem to have much more faith in how far along science is when it comes to understanding the brain and what makes up human "self."

Edit: idk who is downvoting you. But they are a butthole and they should stop. Downvoting is for people who aren't clearly articulating their ideas people.
