Why can't a woman be more like a man?

It appears she can.

Research has shown that women have the advantage when it comes to memory and language, while men tend to have stronger spatial skills (though this too has been disputed). But due to ethical restrictions, no study had been able to track the direct effect that testosterone exposure has on the brain—until now. Using neuroimaging, Dutch and Austrian researchers found that an increase in this potent hormone led to shrinkage in key areas of the female (transitioning to male) brain associated with language. They presented their findings at last week’s annual meeting of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology in Amsterdam.

For the study, researchers scanned the brains of 18 individuals receiving high doses of testosterone as part of female-to-male gender reassignment surgery before and after hormone treatment. After just four weeks of receiving testosterone, participants had lost gray matter (which mainly processes information) in the regions of the brain that are used for language processing. That change amounted to a “real, quantitative difference in brain structure,” said researcher Rupert Lanzenberger of the Medical University of Vienna.

It should be strongly noted that the researchers stayed as far away from the former Bruce as possible in designing their inquiry.  That shows they are smart people.

stay safe.

Interesting that the article doesn't mention new gray matter being grown, just lost. As though you can subtract certain parts but adding new ones is, at least, difficult if not impossible.

Sort of like the other physical changes in attempting to create a male out of a female.

Sort of like the other physical changes in attempting to create a male out of a female mutilate a female in service of mental illness. 

A different take on the procedure.

So, to sum up: "The strain in vain falls mainly on the brain."
