Mr. Mysterious

A brain scan can reveal someone’s true gender, according to a new study.

‘The study, conducted by Dr Julie Bakker at the University of Liège’s Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, backs up research from March which showed that trans people are born that way.’

‘Bakker explained in her study, titled “Brain structure and function in gender dysphoria,” that the scans’ results corroborated subjects who reported having gender dysphoria.’

'“We found that hypothalamic responses of both adolescent girls and boys diagnosed with gender dysphoria were more similar to their experienced gender than their birth sex,” she wrote.’

'The professor said that this “supports the hypothesis of a sex-atypical brain differentiation in these individuals.“

'Bakker added that these results were exciting.’
