It seems to say “sometime during development something flipped the secondary sexual characteristics in my brain but not any of the ones outside it” given the type of spaghetti code evolution tends to produce, this seems rather unlikely.
Well, one obvious explanation for people thinking themselves trans is that maybe one of the secondary sexual characteristics flipped or maybe even something not related to sex at all. As a result they don’t quite fit in, then they here about the transsexuality movement and convince themselves that they’ve found the problem.
Note that this is consistent with the twin studies. All the brain scan stuff strikes me as the “we picked it up on a brain scan therefore it must be biologically caused” fallacy.
Does it matter to you if it’s biologically caused all else being equal?
Biologically caused is a problematic expression. Everything in the brain is biologically caused if we’re generous enough. I assume you mean genetically caused or developmentally caused.
And yet...

Well, biologically as opposed to memetically, for starters.
