bully for science!

Some of you gurls will maybe remember the sudden change that took place a few years ago within the scientific community following the research by a Dutch team (literally) into TG brains. I'm not in any way up on this stuff but I kinda recall that it involved methodological, autopsy type work - worthy of CSI - microscpically examing slices of the brain matter of deceased transgender women. Not surprisingly (to me at any rate), it yielded the information that there was quite likely a defined structural difference in the brains of TGs as opposed to males. Oh really? I coulda told u that.
Despite the fact that the research was to a degree preliminary (in other words - you'd have to chop up a lot more brains to get conclusive proof), it at last allowed some of the embattled girls out there to make a valid claim for having 'real' feminine identities and helped to dismiss the prejudiced idea that all Tgirls are crazed fetishists hell bent on subverting gender in pursuit of a kinkier pair of knickers.
But Lucia says: 'Bully for science!'
Ok, I can't seriously knock the scientific method which has given us such wonders as longer lasting foundation, barely black hold ups, lip gloss that actually stays on your lips, the iPod and the wurld wide webbbbbb. Eeeeeeeek!
But if there's an unfortunate weakness in science, it's this. Nothing can be proved to exist outside of verifiable phenomena. Paradoxically, that's also it's primary strength. Yeah, right.
An example. Suppose all those learned scientists tell us that the world is flat and that anyone who disagrees will be burnt at the stake. You might know the world is round but commonsense dictates that you keep your big Tgirl mouth shut. But loose tongues being what they are, every passing day brings more human bonfies. Fear and terror stalk the land like rent hungry landlords.
Then you wake up to discover that the powers that be have had a little change of heart and decided the world IS, after all. round (or round-ish).
Excuse me asking, scientist people.. er... but what about all the poor souls who you've so recently burnt for crimes of 'heresy'? I'm afraid that whispering, 'Ooops.. so sorry about that', in your sincerest lispy scientist voice doesn't help very much, does it now?!!!!
What I;m getting at is this. Why not assume the world is round in the first place.. until otherwise proven? It's the same with attitudes to us Tgirls. I think many of the assumptions made scientifically (and even worse, in psychiatric circles) about our psyches, preferemces and sexualities border on the crass and insufferable. Can so many sweet Tgirls be delusional?
The answer needs shouting out:
NO F***ING WAY, JOSE!!!!
