Does the HRT make you stupid? Does being groomed destroy your grey matter? Are zoomers actually that retarded? I need answers.
It's funny you should ask that.
More recently, the gray matter of untreated androphilic GD adolescents has been addressed (Hoekzema et al.,
2015). MtFs have smaller volume than male controls in the left superior posterior hemisphere of the cerebellum and smaller volume than female controls in the right inferior orbitofrontal cortex.
From Wikipedia, "the grey matter includes regions of the brain involved in muscle control, and sensory perception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision-making, and self-control."
Untreated androphilic adolescent FtMs have also been studied (Hoekzema et al.,
2015), and they show less volume in the left superior medial frontal cortex than control females and less in the right insula than control males.
I'm not good with brain science, but from Wiki it looks like these parts control "
compassion,
empathy,
taste,
perception,
motor control,
self-awareness,
cognitive functioning,
interpersonal experience, and awareness of
homeostatic emotions such as hunger, pain and fatigue."
So it looks like they're already short on grey matter, specifically the parts that contribute to self-awareness, empathy for others, and cognitive functioning. That would account for their lack of insight into their disorder, their belief that they "pass," the casual cruelty toward their families, and how easily they fall for absurd nostrums like "cut off your dick/tits and your life will be 100% better." In short, the troon does not have "an
x brain born into a
y body," they have a stupid brain born into a body. Given the brain's remarkable ability to rewire itself, especially in youth, I imagine an effective therapy could be devised to treat the underlying dysfunction and the transsexuality thing would clear itself up.
