I have been reading some article about that topic but thought I would ask the community for more Information.

The studies done so far indicate that it is closer in structure to the side of gender identity rather than birth sex. So a mtf brain more closely resembles a CIS female brain than a CIS male brain. For ftm, that is reversed.
In effect, the brain is developed normally but in a different direction from the physical sex.

Not that it matters... But there were some studies indicating the mtf trans brain is more femenize than cis women.

Adult male and female brains do appear to have sexual dimorphism. There are certain differences in structure and relative size of structures that is significant enough to determine the sex of an average brain just by looking at them alone. Some studies found that trans women brains have structures corresponding to those of cis female brains, or showing a degree of "feminized" structure. Transmen apparently exhibit the same similarity in their brains to structures of cis mens'.
