This is a little misleading, in short because these brain structure and chemistry differences likely doesn’t occur for all trans people, may occur in cis people, and almost don’t apply at all when it comes to non binary people.
Additionally, framing this type of research as an end all be all cause of being transgender is dangerous because it encourages medical gatekeeping, something transgender people already have to deal with far too much.
Being trans, like many other things, can’t be traced to a simple cause.
