Why do people with gender dysphoria have brain activity similar to the gender they think they are?

@Ricotta
Yeah, hormones have a fairly big effect on your brain behavior and brain development.
But you have little kids exhibiting signs of gender dysphoria. It could be because errors during prenatal development.
@kurisu @nik @pagefault
There are multiple problems with giving kids hormones opposite their sex. The least of which being most of them grow out of it during puberty - in otherwords that biological process tends to correct the issue most of the time. Most medical experts do not advise hormone treatment for pre-pubertal gender-dysphoria not only because of this, but because of potential long term developmental damage.
There are also many diseases that FtM Trans take testosterone, the least of which is not huge increases in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. MtF Trans have huge increases in the risks of various cancers.
It's all around not a healthy decision to imbalance your hormones and the best solutions long term would involve prenatal screenings and methods to correct the development of these issues prior to birth and techniques that do not involve further in-balancing your endocrine system.
