Gay men share a structure similar to females in the part of the brain that controls their sexual orientation. A person's sexual orientation does not in any way have anything to do with the male or femaleness of the person. I am not sure how to get through to you that gay men are not female, don't feel female, and have no desire to be female. They are very male, as determined by their psychological gender identity that is male.
Sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender identity. A gay guy can be very macho and very very gay(leather or bears), just as a woman can be very feminine and be very gay (lipstick lesbian)
You said : "Sexual orientation is very different from gender identity. Our sexual orientation is in the hypothalamus, which is a different part of the brain from the amygdala where gender identity appears to originate."
Your argument has been that transwomen are women because their amygdala is more like a woman's than a man's.
I'm pointing out that the amygdala of gay men is also more likely a woman's than a man's. So either your amygdala claim is wrong or gay men are women. (Remember, you say the amygdala is where gender identity originates).
