I hope I won't be concerned about this for a few more years, but I do think it might be helpful to researchers-if there are such working on this arcane topic of Transexuality-to establish legal arrangement to leave my brain, as addled as it is, to science.
Does anyone know if research on this topic -the concept that Transgendered folks have different brain composition- exists and if a University (?) seeks donations? Frankly, I request cremation-don't want some undertaker digging me up to resell my plot-and what is done as far as dissection when I am gone is immaterial to me. I won't learn, alas, the findings, but perhaps if there is a next life, I can come back as an attractive female-no superstar model, just a nice looking woman in America (not the Middle East!) and that would be great.
any thoughts or knowledge about such research?
