'More feminised brain'
The researchers suggest reduced androgen and androgen signalling contributes to the female gender identity of male to female transsexuals.

"It is possible that a decrease in testosterone levels in the brain during development might result in incomplete masculinisation of the brain in male to female transsexuals, resulting in a more feminised brain and a female gender identity," they say.

I'm not doubting you Stacie but do you have a link to the source of that info?

Epigenetics also plays a role in explaining why genetically identical twins can have opposite sexual orientations and opposite gender identities. That fact was once central to the argument that sexual orientation and gender identity are not in-born, but rather learned behavior. Not true says epigenetics.
