Brains: Males, Transgendered and Hormone Therapy  September 26, 2009

These researchers studied the brains of men, MtF Transsexuals before hormone therapy and after hormone therapy.

Bottom line: The brains of the MtF Transsexuals were different from the brains of men who are not transsexual, and these differences appear before hormone therapy and stay that way after hormone therapy.

Also, please do not be offended by the language. I know this is a tough one. Scientists, sadly, are still using words like abnormalities and gender identity disorder. For scientists, these words do not carry judgment. But I know that for the rest of us, they do. There are scientists out there trying to change the language to more accurately reflect that these differences are not abnormalities. Just because something occurs infrequently, doesn't make it abnormal.

Is this any surprise?

Nice to have science backing it up though.
