The term 'brain rewiring' is not an accurate description of what happens when the body's hormonal balance is shifted from testosterone to estrogen dominance. There is a physiological component to the presence of gender dysphoria which the administration of estrogen alleviates. For those who experience this effect, the change is unmistakable. Estrogen receptors in the brain activate neural responses that result in changes to the way a person feels and behaves. I do believe that it varies from person to person in proportion to the amount of cross gender identity one possesses. That's why the administration of hormones is a very effective second step in the diagnosis of transsexualism, after initial therapeutic counseling.
