Since I don't want this to turn into a big thing I'll be brief.Biology isn't the only field of science? Social sciences also studies transexuality.
Second, biologically, everyone is born with a "instruction manual" on how to make a male AND a female body, but our combination of chromosomes ends up deciding which way to branch of to (not to mention other factors in the case of intersex people), and while it's still early, biologists have found evidence of the brain and the body of individuals having developed in different directions.
Indeed, science doesn't care how you feel.
So first of all, social science refers to the behaviour found in humans due to the effects of our environment and surroundings. If we're talking about transexuality in the social sense, then you'd simply be referring to how people feel like they were born into the wrong body and how society should treat them a certain way due to them not identitfying with the sex they were born as. In the grand scheme of things we can break social science down to action and reaction. Nothing really special unless we're talking about the psychological aspect which I can't be bothered to get into.
Second (and the only part that really matters), biology. If we're looking at it from both a biological and social science stand point, then biology is what you are and social science in this contex is what you identitfy as. And while you can identify as whatever you want, at the end of the day that doesn't change what you actually are. A man is a man and a woman is a woman. They are not interchangeable.
As for intersex people, they are genetic anomalies and should not be used as the standard.
Now this is coming from someone whose favourite character in the game is Nea and loves the games "Exiles", "A clever name", "Fetish Locator" and WVM for their portrayal of trans characters. But while I love these games and their characters, I'm not delusional enough to not understand that at the end of the day these characters are biologically male and will never be female. And y'know what? That's okay. Be what you want to be, but you can't change what you are.
As for this study on the brain, until the research is fully completed and not ongoing, I'd say that it is currently inconclusive. But even if it was concluded and there was proof that your brain can make you feel like a certain gender, it still wouldn't change a person's chromosomes. At the end of the day, you are what you are.
