Based on the study, the differences between men and women, and boys and girls, are biologically programmed. These are not learned differences.
What difference does that make? A whole lot.
Whether a boy or girl believes they are different from the opposite sex in profound ways, or not, they are different. In profound ways.
A movement toward a genderless, and gender-identity-based society is gaining traction, in academia, and in law. The movement is based on the belief that Gender is performative, it is comprised of routinised bodily and speech practices, rather than the manifestation of an ‘inner essence’. This is rubbish.

While I am a strong believer in rising above any urges or desires that go against God’s Word, including but not limited to homosexual urges, I think the author has misread the study and overgeneralized.
Yesterday, despite the fact that I am retired, I spent four hours working with a woman who is 6’ 3”. Science clearly says that in general men are taller than women and that the vast majority of people who are 6’ 3” are men, but she is a rare exception. Similarly, science clearly says that in general men and women think in different ways that can appropriately be described as complementary, but science does not say that there cannot be rare exceptions. Those who advocate for this perversion claim that transgenders are those exceptions and have the brains of the gender their mental illness tells them they wish for. The existence of this study does not refute that claim.
Yep—and those exceptions aren’t necessarily all that rare.
As a society were swung too far in one way, imposing stereotypes on individuals—and now we’ve swung too far the other way, denying that on average there are some real differences.
Most stereotypes have a basis in truth—and exceptions. The answer, it seems to me, is to acknowledge the base to the stereotypes—but give full room, by treating people as individuals, for the exceptions.

Love the mall diagram.
Need to show that to mother who tells me that since I was a small child I would badger her to finish her shopping during ANY trip to the store.
