Should we run them through the censor as well? Just because your beliefs conflict with the outcome of a study or you don't like it's author's gender isn't reason to strike it from the record.

Stating there is or is not any difference in brains based on gender seems an exceptionally hard fiat statement to make at all. Brains are complicated.

Umm... but there are measurable differences, to the point that we can measure that Trans-folk tend to have have an intermediate brain compared to Cis-folk

I am not a brain scientist (I don't even know the correct name for a brain scientist). That being said isn't it true that there are chemical (e.g. hormonal) differences in male and female brains? So if the "hardware" (brain structure) is the same but the "software" (chemicals) is different doesn't that invalidate the argument that sex should be ignored when studying the brain?

So, don't publish research results that are counter to our research, because our research results are "the accepted truth"?

So you're saying that males are incapable to run studies without help from women (majority of gender studies students are women)? Wouldn't that confirm males and females differences?
