Discrimination is wrong even if male and female brains differ

A number of prominent feminists have raised objections to what has become the accepted conversation about gender transitions, the most visible being an opinion by Elinor Burkett published in the New York Times. A lively dialog followed involving opinions by Brynn Tannehill in the Huffington Post, by Lesli-Ann-Lewis in Ebony, and by Sarah Miller in Jezebel.

Burkett labels the idea that gender identity is encoded in the brain, "nonsense", and the practice of calling someone a woman who has transitioned male-to-female, "offensive". To the casual observer, this must seem baffling. After all, feminists traditionally fight for women's rights and transgender women are among the women whose rights are most fragile.

Having grown up in the 60s and 70s helps me understand their worldview.

Absolutely! No doubt there's a danger of abuse in "separate but equal", that doesn't mean that in a few cases it isn't true. The minor but noticeable differences between men and women is one.

Personally I'll take estrogen fueled longevity over testosterone fueled overclocking and early burn out, but if your preference is different that is perfectly right.
