physically there isn't much difference to a male brain and a female brain (the only one really being a woman's brain is typically around 11% smaller than the average man's brain) however there are trait differences like the number of neurons in BSTc and INAH3
while the sample sizes are small the study has been repeated numerous times with the exact same results. another example is gene disruptions that control brain masculinization

full study - (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-53500-y)
here's also an interesting read about body ownership and gender dysphoria
there's still a lot we don't know about the brain and how it works, currently no one has managed to fully research and study the human brain in it's entirety so there are still a lot of unknown factors
I don't really care. A female with a typically "male" brain is just that, a female with a typically male brain, not a male, and vice versa. My point was your brain doesn't dictate what sex you are
I wish I were cis

It dictates what gender you are.
