I've responded to this point (and the rest of this message) in a reply below. But just to pull this point out, there is, at best, extraordinarily weak evidence for a brain structure basis for gender identity.
In fact, this extraordinarily weak evidence only suggests that there are minor average differences in brain structure between trans men and heterosexual cis men. This isn't evidence that a man can feel like a woman. Nor does it explain what feeling like a woman even means.
Can you explore this question? What does feeling like a woman mean? What's your experience of feeling like a man? Do you think it's the same another man's?
