And it’s easy to falsify: if male and female brains were the same, all humans would be completely bisexual
Um, no. The brains would be the same, but the bodies would still be different, and “identical” brains (whatever that means) could respond differently to being placed in different bodies.
Running the same software on different machines and seeing different behaviours would not necessarily lead you to the conclusion that you were dealing with two different versions of the software, just that some of its behavior is machine-dependent.
Agreed, but male and female brains are in fact different :)
Amplifying my agreement: “placed in different bodies” obviously includes things like a different hormonal stew as a result of different ex-brain endocrine organs.
