Neuroscience and Transgender People

The human brain is a complicated and wonderful thing. But do the brains of trans and cis people differ? Is there neural component to being transgender? Luckily Gender Rebels host Kath is a neuroscience expert and ready to tackle these and other questions at the cutting edge of science.  For more on this topic:   Check out Robert Sapolsky 2011 Stanford lecture on YouTube (Jump in at 1 hr 25 min for all the transie stuff, but the whole video is really interesting).
