Your body has a gender, and your brain does, too...
Is it established fact? Some hints where can I learn more?
The same as any operation one might choose to undergo in order to bring one's body in line with one's expectations of their body
Well, I do not think it is that simple. Quite often somebody requires operation which actually harms his/her body, because it is his/her mind which is not OK. Some of those monstrous breast operation are the best example of this. In my opinion they should be denied by physicians. But of course - operations of this kind are good business and sometimes it is much easier to make some "adjustment" to the body then cure the mind (or change the fashion!). So I think that every operation that harms body and brings nothing but illusion is highly unethical.
So if you are right and "brain has gender", than it is OK. If not, than no.
P.S.: I know, of course, that man's brain works rather differently than woman's. But is it enough for anybody to think of himself of man or woman?

I've just edited my previous post. I know that, of course. But the question is whether those structural differences really define one's gender.
