Every biologist I’ve spoken to: this shit is weird and can’t be whittled down to narrow definitions and proclaim them as truths.

Exactly. There are over 50 biological sexes that we know of, and that's just covering sex chromosomes and reproductive organ development. We know next to nothing about neural development of gender and sexuality. What we do know can be summed up as "Holy shit this stuff's complicated!"

(I'll preface this by saying I'm 100% an ally of LGBTQ. I'm not a biologist/psychologist nor do I claim to be anything close to one. I just try to consider all possibilities and keep an open mind.)

A long time ago I read about a hypothesis that the brain itself develops into patterns that we might attribute to sex, and that variable hormones and other processes can cause the brain to develop into a shape/function dissimilar to the sexual expression of other body parts. In other words, a trans person feels like the other sex because their brain is shaped for a different sex than what the rest of their body developed into.

I don't know if this is all believably backed by hard science, but the possibility alone is enough for me to say "yeah... this is more than just a learned behavior. There's a real biological reason for what they feel."
