I was watching this fascinating video lecture by a neurobiology professor and the brain regions that are dimorphic and are correlated with expressions of male and female gender alignment; but the comments devolved on accusations of "trans medicalism". My assumption is that this is an accusation of boiling down transgenderism to sex-characteristics as expressed through the brain, and the possibility of "testing" that would deny transgenderness if the person doesn't have these correlating sizes previously identified in research.

Am I missing something?

      I know. I could give a long explanation of the faultiness of it, but quite frankly, it was very kneejerk for me to respond in such a way because transmedicalism has been very harmful to me personally. It's hardly a coherent ideology as much as it's just about "hate and invalidate any trans person that's non-conventionally trans". Heh.
