Heed lessons from past studies involving transgender people: first, do no harm
Briefly

Over the past few decades, neuroscientists, endocrinologists, geneticists, and social scientists have studied transgender individuals, with a current focus on mental health and hormone therapies.
Research indicates that brain differences in transgender individuals may correlate with gender identity, not sex assigned at birth, suggesting that transgender identity may be influenced by prenatal brain changes.
Despite inconsistent results, neuroscientific research has uncovered ideas on a potential neurobiological basis for gender dysphoria, using tools like MRI scans.
The significant number of citations and researchers investigating the brain differences in transgender individuals reflects the ongoing interest in understanding transgender identity from a neuroscientific perspective.
