The Scientific Method is a rational process for testing hypothesis through observable phenomena, and so, like solving maths has no ideological agenda.

Quote:This article isn't any better really, and has absolutely no legitimate scientific backing anyways. And even if it did, I would say its being misused here to promote or pander to a heteronormative viewpoint, and therefore, again, that would be ideology and not science.
THIS ^^.

Quote:Results: We comprehensively mapped human sex-differential genetic architecture across 53 tissues. Analyzing available RNA-sequencing data from 544 adults revealed thousands of genes differentially expressed in the reproductive tracts and tissues common to both sexes. Sex-differential genes are related to various biological systems, and suggest new insights into the pathophysiology of diverse human diseases. We also identified a significant association between sex-specific gene transcription and reduced selection efficiency and accumulation of deleterious mutations, which might affect the prevalence of different traits and diseases. Interestingly, many of the sex-specific genes that also undergo reduced selection efficiency are essential for successful reproduction in men or women. This seeming paradox might partially explain the high incidence of human infertility.

I read three things; a) insights into disease expression by gender, b) differences in the bad mutations, c) some insights into high incidence of human infertility.

It seems to have zero to do with gender identity at all. It is like the author of the article failed to understand the science, in either the functionality or conclusions, or more likely, the author found some research on sexual differentiation, then attempted to baffle the idiots on the internet with some fictitious bull crap in order to advance their bigoted world view.

The only suggestion in the research paper, if grossly taken out of context, and then repeatedly fed through a blender, might be...
Quote:Genes with men-biased expression also showed enrichment in glucose metabolism pathways, but the gene sets differed, suggesting alternative pathways in glucose metabolism between men and women (Additional file 14: Table S5). A muscle contraction pathway was also associated with genes over expressed in men (Additional file 14: Table S5). This might be related to the physiological differences in muscle tissues and in physical features between men and women [38, 39].
So, you will notice they describe it as different, not better. It might suggest a testable hypothesis that anecdotally XX perform better in longer distances, while XY are better in short duration exertions. They draw no conclusions on the gene expressions they identified.

In other words, it should be obvious to all that even in Trans transitioning, the underlying chromosomes remain XX or XY, including specific differentiation. With medical procedures and hormone therapy we can make XX look like XY and vice versa to appease gender identity. This is a good thing for those who feel they are in the wrong gendered body.

This is what research into Gender Identity looks like. It generally will be from Psychologists, and not Biologists.

I also found the subject appropriate link for this topic;

Look inside your tiny mind
Now look a bit harder
Cause we're so uninspired
So sick and tired of all the
Hatred you harbor
So you say
It's not okay to be gay
Well I think you're just evil
You're just some racist who
Can't tie my laces
Your point of view is medieval
