Using AI to analyze MRI brain scans of thousands of children, researchers could predict a participant’s sex or gender based on how brain regions interacted with one another.
Agreed, also, focusing on the differences becomes divisive at some point. The truth is, women and men think extremely similarly, as we are all human and humans think alike. But we ignore the greater similarities to instead push for tiny divisions. While it’s great to provide validation, neuroplasticity means that a “girl” brain can become a “boy” brain and vice versa through someone’s lifetime. Gender is also not a strict binary anyway, so how it’s determined who’s a girl and who is a boy and who’s agender or multigender - like it’s so much more complicated than a study like this.
