There is a thread about this in the MTF board, but I thought it was worth a mention on the FTM board as well.
The BBC are doing a series on the difference between male and female brains. The first episode was last week, with the second this weekend.
The programme is doing a series of tests on people to see how female or male their brain is - it doesn't necessarily follow that it is the same as your sex. What I found fascinating was that they did the tests with an FTM TS before and after his transition and found that his brain and abilities had become more male, as well as his body.
If you can't get the programme there is a test you can do on the BBC's website. I think the address is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sn/tvradio/programmes/sexsecrets/
I had a go at it and came out as a 0 - exactly half way between the 100% male and 100% female brain. Go figure ... :D
