I realized, I suspect, that the left had devolved into full-on psychotic delusion years before it became public knowledge, in 2009 when the most extreme manifestations of gender ideology were still confined to sociology courses and their cousins on college campuses, which I attended for credits.
This realization occurred when my “Race, Class, and Gender Inequality” professor refused, upon explicit questioning on my part, to acknowledge any inherent physical differences between men and women.

Via New Scientist (emphasis added):
Are men’s and women’s brains all that different? A new way of investigating this question has concluded that they are – but it takes artificial intelligence (AI) to distinguish between them.
The question of whether we can measure differences between men’s and women’s brains has long been contentious, with previous research coming up with contradictory results.
This is, of course, total nonsense. The “question of whether we can measure differences between men’s and women’s brains” has not “been long contentious”; it’s only become contentious in the past several decades, in the West alone, because of gender ideology. For literally thousands of years, even the most rudimentary practitioners of biology like the ancient Greeks and ancient Chinese understood and studied the differences between male and female physiology, including the brains.
Continuing via New Scientist:
To tackle the question in a different way, Menon’s team used a relatively new method called dynamic functional connectivity fMRI. This involves recording people’s brain activity while they lie in a functional MRI scanner and tracking changes in how different regions’ activity varies in sync with one another.
The researchers designed an AI to analyse such brain scanning data, which they trained on the results from about 1000 young adults from an existing US database called the Human Connectome Project, telling the AI which individuals were men and which were women. In this analysis, the brain was divided into 246 different areas.
After this training process, the AI was about 90 per cent accurate at distinguishing between a second set of brain scanning data from the same 1000 men and women.
Apparently, the transphobic AI was not sufficiently programmed to accommodate the delusions of the gender ideologues, a problem which will perhaps be remedied in short order.
If they are forced to give up at some point and concede the reality that male and female brains differ, though, the third-wave feminists will simply move the goalposts, as they are wont to do.
The new explanation they will offer is that dimorphic male and female brain structures are explained not by biology but by society — specifically, the Patriarchy™.
Via University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry:
In the first study of its kind, scientists looked at more than 7,800 MRI scans from people in 29 different countries. In countries where there was greater gender inequality, the cortical thickness of the right hemisphere of women’s brains was thinner than men’s. In more gender equal countries there was no significant difference.
The areas of the brain affected were those particularly associated with stress and emotions.
Lead author Dr Nicolas Crossley, Visiting Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and Associate Professor in the Pontificia Universidad Católica in Chile, said:
"Our analysis suggests some sex differences in brain structure are associated with the adverse social environment under which many women live.”
