They've actually found that trans individuals have brain structures that match their identity rather than their sex at birth.
So while the way genders are supposed to act is a social construct, gender is very much biological as well.
The truth is at this stage we don't fully understand it.
I'd love to learn more about that, do you have a source I can go to read more?

Thank you, that's some great reading. Very... dense haha I'm far from a biologist or scientist of any kind so I'm doing quite a bit of googling but some great info in there
That doesn't back up your claim at all, the evidence is still incredibly weak and the sample sizes are all very small
Sample sizes can only get so big when studying less than a percentage of the population
It does back up my claim we've found evidence of it in trans people. I also explicitly said we don't understand it yet.
Considering the only evidence the other camp has is "the Bible" and "their feels," Ima take it. 🤷
