"...This
paper represents the first comprehensive review of the scientific evidence that
gender identity is a biological phenomenon," explains corresponding author
Joshua D. Safer, MD, FACP. "As such it provides one of the most convincing
arguments to date for all medical providers to gain the transgender medicine
skills necessary to provide good care for these individuals," he added.

"Imaging the Transgender Brain"
"...Except, that is, for one area, the putamen, a deep brain structure that forms part of the basal ganglia – known for its wide range of functions and connections to the frontal lobes and action control areas.
Because we
know so little about the neuroscience of self-image and gender-identity it’s
almost impossible to draw any conclusions for the fact that this specific area
seems more ‘feminine’, or that the majority of the other areas seem more
‘masculine’ in terms of size.
What this
study does do, however, is add to the increasing evidence that there are some
detectable neurological differences in the brains of transgendered people.
We’re just not in a position to say much about the significance of this yet.
