i had read somewhere that the hypothalimus is primarily responsible for gender. if i recall right, females have a larger hypothalamus than males. it was also found that transexuals/mtf had larger hypothalamus than genetic males.it was not able to be determined if this was from hormone use or naturally enlarged. due to its location deep in the brain, one can not examine it unless it is through autopsy.

there is still too little research in regards to the hypothalamus and its relation in regards to gender dysphoria
