Brain sex exists, but it’s not gender. And just like body sex, it’s multidimensional and comes in intersex flavour. And it’s neuroplastic, to a certain extent.
One of the sexually multimorphic aspects of the brain is the emotional response to sex hormones. It’s why many trans girls can’t cry or can’t experience love until they’re on estrogen. It’s why phantom limb sensations exist. As far as I know, chemical reactions can’t be changed, but body maps can. The brain is also responsible for regulating hormone balance, and skilled meditationists can access parts of their brain normally closed to the consciousness and adjust their hormones. I’m speaking from experience when I say that, and my endocrinologist can confirm my story. So you might also consider the brain’s instructions to the body on what sex to be, a part of the brain’s sex. Like I said, it’s multidimensional. A brain can have multiple sexes, just like a body.
