Another Piece of the Puzzle
Zoe Brain

In the past, I've talked about how transsexuality being a "male brain in a female body", or the reverse, while true, is only an approximation. That it would be more accurate to say "masculinised brain in a feminised body", or the reverse.
That's partly because so many "transsexual" people have been shown to be not only neurologically Intersexed, but somatically intersexed in other ways too. But it's also partly because not all of the neurology need be affected to cause transsexuality, only parts. We're still finding out what parts, and to what degree they are cross-gendered.
Professor Italiano (to whom many thanks) has just drawn my attention to a new study. One that gives us more specific information than we've had in the past.
