transgender women have immunity to visual illusions
Can you source this claim? I’ve never heard it and GPT-4 says it has no scientific basis. Are you just referring to the mask and dancer thing that Scott covered?
Whoops, it’s really looks like I imagined this claim to be backed more than by one SSC post. In my defense I say that this poll covered really existing thing like abnormal illusions processing in schizophrenics (see “Systematic review of visual illusions schizophrenia” Costa et al., 2023) and I think it’s overall plausible.
My general objections stays the same: there is a bazillion sources on brain differences in transgender individuals, transgenderism is likely to be a brain anomaly, we don’t need to invoke “testosterone damage” hypothesis.
