So I was browsing around the internet the other day, and I stumbled across a few sites that I thought you all would enjoy.
This first one I came across completely by accident, but It was really helpful for me. So often I feel like I'm not "man enough" to be a transman... and I get down on myself about it. This article was short, but had me nodding as I read it, and helped me feel more comfortable with myself afterwards.

This one was interesting. I had been told by my psychology teacher that the corpus callosum in females' brains was larger than in males' and I was trying to research whether this differed in trans people. I was not able to find the answer to this question, (so if anyone knows it, please let me know!) but I did find this, which I found very intriguing.

And, lastly, this was just a fun little thing I came across. It's a little quiz that rates how "male" or "female" your brain is. They're not talking personality-wise, but in the functioning of your brain. Take this test according to your biological sex for accurate results. It says that "Male scores above 60 may show a bias to female mental attributes. Females who score below 50 may show a brain bias to the male thought processes." I went ahead and scored myself for both genders. My male score was in the range for normal males, and my female score was below 50, so I thought it was pretty interesting. I'm not sure how accurate this is, but It was fun. Let me know what you think of it!
