I tried this with my mum she told me I should just deal with the body I was given. I told her to imagine if she woke up tomorrow with a penis and everyone treated her as a man, how would she feel? She told me that was stupid and it's not the same.

Here are two images taken from a presentation from a visiting consultant endocronoligist, that may help to explain to other people.



The first image are nuclease of cells taken from donated deceased patients brain. The top two are those from a heterosexual male and female and the bottom left is from a homosexual man. The bottom right image is taken from the brain of a MtF transgendered individual that did not transition nor undergo any HRT treatment, yet still posses cells that are female in shape. The same was seen in FtM patients, possessing nuclease male in shape.



The second image shows how this could of occured. Apparently a small surge of T (outlined in the red box) is needed to masculinise the babies body in the womb, defining reproductive organs etc, however it takes a second surge of T (outlined in the green box) to form a male brain, and should this not occur or be at sufficient levels to induce the change, then babies could be born with female brains in male bodies.

P.S. I cannot agree more that some people just will not get it no matter what you tell them. -_-

I don't suppose you can link me/us to where you got those pics and that last bit of info there at the bottom from can you?

This is pure speculation but I'm guessing that a surge of T at the critical time during fetal development could also cause a male brain in a female body.  Just a thought to possibly round out the explanation from the second image for our FTM brethren.
