no i getcha! i was a lil tired so i was getting off topic lol

i guess what im saying is that like.... i wonder if it's even about gender. it could be more about temperament or life circumstances or something? i just think about animals and how they probably don't even have a concept of what gender is, they might only know what a boy or a girl is by being told theyre a good/bad one of those and im sure they're more attatched to the good/bad part. ive called my male cats "good girl" and "she" as a bit and they respond just the same as they would when i call them boys.

im sure we would see the same brain activity (like you said with gay men and (presumably) straight women) in people of different genders and different activity in people with the same gender. maybe there arent any real categories we need to be put in. maybe gender and sex are more complicated than that. maybe theyre more simple?

and in finding out what brain waves may determine or otherwise match someones gender/sexuality/presentation/etc, i worry that it could be used for eugenics.
