but what if there are differences between how the male brain and female brains work that come from the Y chromosome?
This assumes that trans women are born with a male brain. The consensus of the scientific community says that this is false - being born with a female brain in a male body is how someone is born trans which further supports the argument you are responding to.
I’m paraphrasing here but essentially the SRY gene (that stimulates production of androgens in a fetus) is released at a different time than the formation of the brain. So it is possible, but rare for someone to be born with a brain that doesn’t match their body and poof that’s where trans people come from.
I thought that the last state of the art opinion was that there is no reliable difference between the brains of the sexes? I am by no means informed on this.
Could that mean that at some point one could detect transgender people using medical testing?

That’s quite interesting and actually a very useful step in proving what the comment above mine was trying to prove.
