Most people have heard transgenderism described with phrases like “a woman’s brain in a man’s body.” This is a simplification of a core belief of trans activists: that a person can have the brain of the opposite sex and that dysphoria stems from the mismatch between one’s brain and body. Young people who spend time in trans spaces are told that, since their negative feelings stem from their brain structure, the only way to achieve relief is through hormones and surgery. Other means of treating dysphoria are scoffed at while the wrong brain theory is described as “proven science.”
This does not match the data.
One of the first MRI studies on male-to-females revealed that their brain structure was similar to that of male controls.[1] The only major abnormality discovered was increased volume in the right putamen. This is noteworthy as other studies have shown that enlargement of this region is associated with schizophrenia and autism.[2] Later MRI research on male-to-females showed zero signs of feminized brain structures. The authors concluded by saying that,
Contrary to the primary hypothesis, no sex-atypical features with signs of ‘feminization’ were detected. The present study does not support the dogma that [male-to-female transsexuals] have atypical sex dimorphism in the brain.[3]
The study did note evidence of reduced hypothalamic volume and increased grey matter in some regions. Lower than normal hypothalamic volume is known to occur in mentally ill men who had traumatic childhoods[4] and some of the grey matter abnormalities noted by the researchers have been found in individuals with high functioning autism.[5]
A review of the literature shows that the only subgroup of male-to-females who display any signs of (partially) feminized brains are gay men who wish to transition. One study found that their brains were more feminine than those of straight men, but more masculine than those of straight women.[6]
Researchers, such as James Cantor, have argued that the existing MRI data therefore fits Ray Blanchard’s AGP vs HSTS Hypothesis.[7] This is the idea that male-to-females can be divided into two cohorts:
- Autogynephiles (AGP) –heterosexual men who are erotically fixated on being female, feminine, or having some other connection to femininity.
- Homosexual Transsexuals (HSTS) – feminine gay men who wish to transition and live as women.
Some might respond to this by arguing that autosexuals are “fake trans” and gays are “true transgenders,” but that is not necessarily true. There are reasons to believe that many gays use trans identities as a maladaptive coping mechanism for their inner emotional issues and traumas. MRIs show that non-dysphoric gay men often have partially feminized brains[8] and several prominent detransitioners describe themselves as gay men.[9] Some were misled by doctors. Others spent huge amounts of time in pro-trans echo chambers where adults encouraged them to transition. It’s common to see threads on 4chan’s LGBT section in which young gay men are told that estrogen will stop “twink death” (aka the natural aging process). Terms like “HRT Femboy” are also being casually thrown around on Reddit and it is clear, when one views those threads, that fetishists are encouraging gays to experiment on their bodies. There are similarities between the stories of gay male detransitioners and young women who were drawn into the social contagion known as Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria. One shouldn’t assume that, just because a man has feminine traits, that he is doomed to hate his body.
Now let’s look at the data in female-to-males.
The most thorough study, an MRI analysis that included 214 FTMs, found that the subjects brains, “resembled their sex assigned at birth… for example, in the pre- and postcentral gyri as well as superior frontal gyrus, inferior parietal gyrus, and fusiform gyrus.”[10] No evidence of masculine brain structures were found in the FTM subjects, although some participants displayed neurological features that other researchers have found correlate with autism.[11] Another study, that examined, 2,165 Dutch children, couldn’t find any differences in the brains of gender non-conforming girls and those who were happy with their gender.[12]
These studies—showing zero evidence of cross-sex brains—have largely been ignored by the media. The only research on pre-HRT transmen that I’ve seen referenced in mainstream publications is a much older, smaller study that examined eighteen individuals and found signs of partial brain masculinization.[13] It is important to note that all participants in the study were lesbians (meaning they were biological women who were primarily attracted to women) and MRIs show that many lesbians exhibit androgynous brain structures.[14] Lesbian women are also far more likely than straight women to have hormone imbalances[15] and this may play a role in the development of altered brain morphology.
When one looks at the entirety of the data from both sexes a clear picture emerges: the “wrong brain” narrative is political propaganda. Ray Blanchard’s original AGP vs HSTS theory is backed up by multiple MRI studies. Most female-to-males show no signs of gender atypical brain anatomy. Some have neurological features correlated with autism. The minority of transgenders who have gender atypical brain structures are likely more similar to non-dysphoric gays and lesbians than the opposite sex.
This shouldn’t surprise people. Y and X chromosome genes are involved in brain development.[16][17] While modern ideologues reject the importance of chromosomes, some of the first “trans icons” felt differently. Britain’s first transwoman, Roberta Cowell, claimed the media had misreported her life story and that she had a rare intersex disorder. She argued that those with normal chromosomes should not undergo transgender medical operations:
I had female chromosome make-up, XX. The people who have followed me have often been those with male chromosomes, XY. So they’ve been normal people who’ve turned themselves into freaks by means of the operation.
Many of those people will regret the operation later. There have been attempted suicides. They don’t change sex, as everyone knows, because the operation doesn’t alter the chromosomes.[18]
The fact that Cowell’s words have been ignored is not surprising. Transgenderism is strongly correlated with antisocial traits. Studies show that up to 57.1% of transgender individuals meet the criteria for Narcissistic Personality Disorder.[19] This may be linked to the nature of autosexuality. Rod Fleming, a Scottish writer who has known many transwomen, has described autogynephilia as a harmful personality artifact that slowly consumes its host and leads to narcissistic outrage against those who disagree.[20] [21] Trans activists are typically extremely biased, egotistical individuals who are bent on spreading a narrative that fits their inner desires.
These ideas are then amplified by ideologically compromised doctors. One of the most prominent pro-trans “medical experts,” Johanna Olson-Kennedy, refused to release the results of a study showing that puberty blockers didn’t lead to any improvement in mental health.[22] The “experts” who insist that dysphoria is permanent and will only worsen without medical intervention refuse to acknowledge data that disagrees with their viewpoint. There is statistical evidence that most children will grow out of gender dysphoria (if they aren’t medicalized).[23] There is a clear political element to this. Alternative treatments for dysphoria are ignored or written off as “conversion therapy” by doctors who view themselves as “heroes” fighting against traditional norms.

Great article. What a creepy subject, it only confirms what I already knew—those people are sick in the head. 🙃
Awesome, I can throw that Scientific American study I read about 10 years into the trash bin. They had to nd apparently preliminary evidence that MtF men had a feminine brain architecture.
One trans individual that fit this profile was the Nashville school shooter, Aiden Hale. She was born female but wanted to transition to male. The authorities attempted to suppress her writings from the public, which some referred to as her manifesto. Parts of it was leaked out to the public anyway. She displayed a lot of anger and hostility to whites in her writing. She also had autism and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Another individual that fits this profile is retired navy seal Chris Beck, who came out as a trans individual in 2013, after that he wrote a book promoting his transition and was also on TV promoting his new lifestyle as well, Oprah even devoted a show to him. He had the surgery and underwent the hormone treatment, including facial surgery to make himself look more feminine. He was used as propaganda for why the U.S. military should allow trans individuals in their ranks. Now he has completely changed his mind and his stance about this issue. In 2022 he claims that he detransitioned, which amounts to him stopping the hormone treatments and reverting back to his original, male name. The physical damage done to him by the surgery is irreversible, however. Since 2022 he has been on various news programs stating that he regrets the decision that he made to transition to become a female, especially the various surgeries and to ignore any past interviews that he did after he came out as trans. In some ways he has become an anti-trans activist. He has also stated that he has gender dysphoria and that has been the cause of his past gender confusion.
That is an amazing story about Chris Beck. I had to check, just to be certain. It’s too incredible to accept initially, and yet the story is true. Now he regrets his decision to “have the operation.” Too late. If you take a loaded pistol, point it at your head and pull the trigger – guess what? Big bang! Such a decision is irreversible.
As for Aiden Hale, that psycho is much worse, because she murdered other people. And the FBI concealed her stupid “manifesto”, in order not to alert the public about any future danger from trans-perverts.
Those responsible for promoting the ideology of transsexualism should be held to account. Drugs and propaganda are used to persuade fools to “transition” into the opposite sex. Of course, this is a scientific impossiblity.
I was listening to a podcast some time ago with a transgender male as guest. According to him, that which got him to go down that path was an incident he had where he heard a voice telling him he is Sheila. He had several of these incidents and eventually decided to do surgery. Prior to this he was, according to himself, an “alpha” male.
The whole time I was thinking to myself that, having heard that voice, he had had an ordinary episode of psychosis. What surprised me even more is the fact that he was a Doctor (MD) and should therefore have been familiar to psychosis as a mental illness. But he nevertheless decided to act upon his psychosis. Which is foolish!
Heard from a guy that got released from prison that basically all the transgender individuals were in for the most horrific sex crimes. The stats back that up too, I think it’s like 44% or some ridiculous number that are in for sexual abuse.
I think people are coming around to realizing the sheer sexual depravity of the transgender community. I say “coming around”, but they were always historically regarded this way I think? The pre-90s stereotype of transgender individuals was that they were sort of eccentric perverts, and a little off in other ways apart from their crossdressing.
The transgender idealization that comes with autism isn’t entirely an AGP sexual fetish, because it can hit before puberty. I strongly believe that it’s to do with the hyperactive amalgama and trying to escape threats, combined with sheer incompetence in their traditional gender role. Autistic individuals are prone to sensory overstimulation and run away from situations they cant’ handle, or flop and fall apart, it could just be another manifestation of that. Traditional masculine roles come with conflict, aggression, psychical activities, the lack of motor skills and social skills means that they just tumble down the social hierarchy and end up in a position to be bullied. An escape to a feminine identity means they have an escape to do routine repetitive activities like sewing that aren’t competitive. Better that in their eyes than being thrown onto a football pitch because they’re a man, they’re no longer permanently in a position where their amalgama is firing off constantly and making them feel afraid. When the two identities are juxtaposed side by side, they see the feminine identity as a refuge from suffering. But the suffering comes from their inability to fulfill the masculine role, not as a desire for the feminine role. A bit morbid, but it’s like a guy throwing himself out the window of a burning building, as he’s more afraid of the flames than he is the height.
It’s probably why the autistic transgender individuals don’t do anything to pass apart from slapping on a dress and carrying a handbag. Half of them don’t even shave regularly, many don’t even bathe or shower properly (as is common for autists). And don’t really seem to be active shills for the LGBT movement? They are the target of grooming, they end up on hormones, but they don’t exactly become loyal foot soldiers for the movement. The same conflict avoidance that drove them to transition means they’re not exactly going to go out stirring conflict, perhaps from the keyboard they might.
I don’t know enough about FtM transgender individuals, but apparently in youth they completely outnumber the MtF ones, despite MtF transgenderism being the most promoted. Perhaps it’s a similar factor at play here, incompetence in their gender role. I’m not sure, but based on what I’ve seen the FtM transgenders seem to be more rabid and dogmatic about LGBT stuff. I was at the library recently and behind me some “Non-binary” was on the phone to medical staff, loudly making phone calls about her conditions. And she said she was non-binary to whoever it was as if it was a super special status, that was the tone of her voice. The non-binary stuff could at least be NLOG (“Not like other girls”) behavior.
For all their physical prowess, black males display highly feminine personality traits (e.g. irresponsibility, being offended, frivolity, performative emotion). Given black dominance of football I’d suggest it’s high time white men found some other yardstick of masculinity.
Also, it is apparent to me that black people are more prone to the default communication mode of quarreling; any conversation with one of them is an instant dispute. (“Oh, no you not!”). Quarrelsome black single mothers raise quarrelsome black sons.
Blacks also have higher rates of transgenderism, if I’m not mistaken. A lot of those tribal societies had effeminate men that display velvety behavior. Samoa had it, modern LGBT types make out it was a “third gender”, and while it certainly wasn’t that far, it was definitely a socially acceptable display of effeminacy. Western European society has actually been very good at minimizing sexual perversion historically.
But the point more was that physical contact sport is an activity that someone with that mental disability is incapable of handling. The more inflexible concepts of masculinity are, the more alienation people incapable of meeting such standards experience, and that entices them to gender perversion. If that option is on the table, of course. I do think the mainstream “brain in the wrong body” idea is sniffing towards the truth, but coming at it from the wrong axioms. It’s not that they want to be women, it’s that they’re suffering with social obligations and expectations of men and prefer those of women. Blanchard’s Autogynophilia transgenderism certainly exists, but I feel dissident theories on LGBT fall into the risk of putting too much emphasis on it. The AGPs are certainly the most dogmatic, aggressive and outspoken with transgenderism, and that makes them the most visible, but I feel like it could just be the visible part of the iceberg.
The solution I think is monasticism? Maybe that’s perhaps why Europeans have been able to minimize such problems historically. Those autistic types just ended up as monks doing repetitive work, even the manual scribing of biblical texts was repetitive labour. The huge emphasis on celibacy and minimizing sexual desire counteracted the autistic tendency to hypersexuality and sexual perversion.
As it currently stands, LGBT and transgenderism is increasingly starting to resemble court eunuchism in a lot of ways. With transgenders it’s literal eunuchism, with castration and all. I see shadows of the Ottoman harem staff and Han dynasty court intriguers in the LGBT community, in that they’re specifically promoted as they’re rootless individuals without family ties, and that makes them loyal to a ruling regime. The Emperor felt he could always rely on his eunuchs, western governments feel they can rely on the LGBT community.
People in the LGTBQ freak show are used as shock troops to undermine society, just like antifa, and blacks.
When I was a young boy, many of the older white adults would refer to that aspect of black behavior as “wearing your emotions on your sleeve”.
H.L. Mencken once wrote that the apotheosis of American democracy would the election of a literal idiot as president. Likewise, the apotheosis of the liberal (dis)order is the deification of mental illness. Transgenderism should have no place in the future White ethnostate, which should treat it like the abomination it truly is.

Thanks, Mencken was a White man ahead of his time. A sample of his writing, here: “Mencken on Abraham Lincoln” at nationalvanguard.org
Since transgenderism was hardly an issue when William Pierce died in 2002, he did not include them in with the other LQB freaks as ineligible to be National Alliance members. As his successor as NA Chairman I have since added them as not eligible to be counted in our ranks, Our members like it like that. They have their community; we have ours, free of them.

Transgenderism is the sick destroying the healthy.
The MTFs I’ve known come across as confused men. They never seemed otherwise. As for the FTMs, they’re basically butch women who take steroids. I note that they quite often exhibit some of the worse stereotypical feminine behaviors – namely, flakiness and passive aggressiveness.
My experience has been different in that the MTF trans I’ve known don’t seem confused. They’re more likely to be feminine presenting gay men. They like looking at and talking about women, but only for their appearance and clothes and makeup. Some seem content to remain a feminine gay man rather than transitioning. I do note some hypersensitive reactions they can have and I attribute it to a lack of confidence or self esteem. I’m of the mind that if an adult wants to play dress up that’s their business. Please don’t coddle children and teenagers like they do these days. Let them grow out of it. It’s better for all concerned.
In their case, why not just be gay and leave it at that? Straight guys only are interested in real women, and gay guys want men who look like men.
Well that’s the question no one seems to want to answer. It’s well above my expertise.
