Male brains and female brains develop differently based on conditions outside of the person developing.
There're some folks whose brain developed as someone of the opposite sex.
These folks may have some legitimate issues which can be helped by way of gender reassignment surgery.
I remember when every "right thinking" person in the USA was certain that homosexuality was genetically determined, genetically heritable and people got extremely angry at me when I pointed out there is no reason to believe this given the complexity to human sexuality. There were other things like one identical twin being homosexual and the other being heterosexual. But that did not matter because people only saw evidence where it confirmed their preexisting dogmatic beliefs.
Then circa year 2010 science began to shift toward
my view with the paradigm shift from genetic determinism to epigenetics.
I'm going to do something similar to what I did then, and say no one can objectively (not as yet) say what are the
mental attributes of a female brain that so differentiate it from a male brain. If they exist then discrimination based upon sex (mental inabilities or inclinations) is possibly justified.
But let me guess--you're a feminist (male or female)--that supports stereotypes about the sexes when it suits your purpose to make a claim about Caitlyn Jenner, right?
So, how does a female brain think? It does not like to shoot rifles but prefers to try on dresses in a shopping mall? The female brain is only sexually attracted to men?
You believe
Newsweek is not a source of fake news right? So, is it a combination of American men having more female-like brains along with all the women and transsexuals in the US military which makes Muslim Afghani men view Americans
as less courageous than Russians?

While Americans Fight the Taliban, Putin Is Making Headway in Afghanistan

An Afghan communist officer who fought with the Russians told me that his side lost because they could not overcome their image as atheist infidels.
Today, however, Russia is seeking to remake its image by exploiting Afghan disappointment with the dismal results of the post-9/11 intervention by the U.S. and its allies.
At present, Russia is enjoying a remarkable comeback in the land that once fought so violently to expel it. According to an experienced Afghan businessman, the growing Russian engagement in Kabul business ventures and other activities produces negative comparisons with Americans.
While the latter have gained a reputation for living behind walls, afraid to venture out among Afghans because of the terrorist threat, the Russians reportedly walk the streets openly, take taxis and visit Afghan associates and friends in their homes without security escorts.
The theme of American fear of Afghans evidently is taking root. Several Afghan elders that I interviewed in the context of a counterinsurgency study told me spontaneously that the “Russians were braver than you [Americans].” When I posed this question to an old mujahid commander who had waged fierce battles against the Russians, he pondered it for a moment and responded that they were not braver but instead were more ruthless, obliterating entire rebel villages.
When I countered that this ruthlessness did not gain victory in the end, and the Russians must have made serious mistakes, he responded: “Mistakes? No. They simply ran out of money.”
Allah works in strange ways. Science shifted towards
my rational view on homosexuality circa 2010 and now Newsweek is shifting its theme and thesis if you will towards
my position I held for years. And I know Newsweek must have been one of these damned pro-Obama
rhetoric news sources repeating the same lame narrative, "If we dare say 'Islamic Terrorist' we are going to *make* more Muslims punch us in the mouth in Afghanistan and in mainland USA."
I stated numerous times that men of violence (and women of violence) hear that and *hear*
total weakness. I've been around violent men my whole life. I knew and stated that Muslims in the East would view Americans as timid and very afraid. And I'm going to hazard a guess Muslim men are not shaking in their boots at TV images of anti-Trump rallies in support of transsexuals in the US military.
