Hey, get off Joe, willya. I know he's a decade or two past the age most of us would prefer to have a sitting president but he's still way better than any Republican since Eisenhower.President Biden? Oh wait you said living.There are zero living human beings on this planet functioning with zero hormones. Even estrogen and testosterone. Zero."Extremely unusual beliefs" such as that when people looked for gendered brain differences, they found them, they were minor, and that the only other mechanism that has been observed is hormonal signaling?You haven't bothered to post any support for your extremely unusual beliefs. Therefore, I feel comfortable rejecting them as nothing more than the wishes that they appear to be.Yes, the burden of proof that the earth is not flat DOES fall on the people making the claim. However this was a very easy burden to satisfy by all manner of circumnavigation, geometry, and other means. Just as there is a burden of those claiming the earth IS flat, a burden of proof which they inevitably fail.You're insisting that the burden of proof that the earth is not flat falls on the person who has observed that it is round based on centuries of research and observations of material reality.You have a burden of proof for establishing any particular claim of fundamental difference.
Seriously, how the fuck am I supposed to "prove" that your baseless belief is wrong? How do you prove that god does not exist?
The only ones there without a burden are the ones who don't make either claim
You are the one who poses a baseless belief that people born with a penis, and with NO mechanism whatsoever, not even significant brain differences, are somehow magically more likely to commit some form of fucked up behavior.
The much more reasonable perspective is to say "if there is a mechanism, it is observable, so let's figure out what and if there is such a mechanism".
We did that.
It is the mechanism of a brain tensor which is not "sex locked" even if sex-correlated , and a hormone which is additionally interdictable.
You seem to be handwaving away research simply because it's been a while since the last time you ignored it.
If you wish to claim some third mechanism which impacts the behavioral center, THEN you have a burden of proof to show it is real.
If you wish to propose some chemical differentiation that explains why the little girl on the track team with zero hormones underperforms even compared to the rest of her team beyond the relative lack of testosterone (and also estrogen), likewise you have a burden.
All the research based regulations on hormones in sports indicate that after a sufficient period, all physical benefits of testosterone aside from particular bone structures (ones which in fact also grow that way as a result of puberty, mostly) indicates that it is exactly huge doses of testosterone which cause the differences we see through puberty, and that most of these disappear promptly with cessation of steroid exposure.
