Excuse Me, Your Kid's Transgender Brain Is Showing

If scientists won't show us this gene that can tell parents whether or not they're having a gayby, how about we start putting pre-pubescent children through a brain scan so we can tell whether they're going to end up trans? Researchers at the National University of Distance Education in Madrid say they've discovered the brains of trans people happen to look like the gender they identify with, not born with.

The development is big news, since prior to this research these types of brain scans could only be performed on the deceased. And while such research might trigger an initial reaction of fear — Are they eventually going to scan kids' brains and get rid of all the trans ones? — there is a practical application: If doctors can identify trans brains in kids before puberty, there can be a better informed decision about medically delaying puberty as to help a gender reassignment procedure years down the road.
