    1. Yes, there is a male brain and a female brain. Examples:

    -Men have 8-10% larger brains on average -Women have a higher percentage of grey matter -During emotional memory processing, men have greater activation in the right amygdala, while women have greater activation in the left amygdala -Women have greater cortical thickness -Men have a higher serotonin synthesis rate -Women have higher neuronal density in language-processing regions -Women have higher orbitalfrontal to amygdala ratio -During resting states, men show stronger functional connectivity within motor and sensory networks while women show stronger functional connectivity within social and emotional networks -INAH-3 is 2-3x larger in men than women -BNST is 50% larger in men

    …none of which has anything to do with gender identity neurologically.
