Because you never asked it.
Anyway, there are a few ways to tell. You could use a radioactivity counter, but you can also tell through things like the way the eyes look.
Sure, but some people are born cis men, some people are born trans men. You don't actually understand the science behind gender, you're just using "science" to justify transphobia.Last time, man born man, always a man! Woman born woman, always a woman Science!!!!!!!!

It's different, but the DNA in the sperm is no more "alive" than the fetus. Really the only difference is that the fetus is a slightly more advanced clump of cells.

Several state attorneys are getting involved.
I vehemently oppose the continued streaming of the movie “Cuties” on Netflix, and request that you voluntarily remove it from your service due to the great harm it causes to our children.
While the filmmaker’s asserted desire to fight the hypersexualization of young girls is admirable, the manner in which the film attempts to do so is misguided and does more harm than good.
This film contains the gratuitous exposure of a young girl’s breast; it repeatedly shows children using their bodies in a sexual manner to get themselves out of trouble; it graphically focuses on the genitalia of children; and it shows the creation and publication of child pornography.
Repeated images of eleven-year old children gyrating, “twerking,” and simulating sex in tight,skimpy clothes simply serves as fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings.
It whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways—ways I have had to prosecute.In this era where we are fighting a seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking, this film is counterproductive.
The sexualization of our children leads traffickers to view them as commodities that can be sold, over and over again. Traffickers often step in when children face vulnerabilities similar to those of the protagonist in “Cuties.”
We should be teaching our children about healthy conversations and safe spaces to deal with their vulnerabilities, not normalizing hypersexualization as a way to become “popular” and a means to work through the issues they might face in their everyday lives. In short, this film does immeasurable damage to all of us fighting to keep our children safe.

Is that so?
It's OK to Be White
Yes. Do you care, though? Conservatism is about feels, not reals.

Prove it.
I'll understand if you can't, of course.

From the article you cited as "proof": "It will be a long time, if ever, before a doctor can do a brain scan on a child and say, “Yes, this child is trans.”
I didn't think you could prove your claim, and it appears that I was correct.
Naturally, I understand.
It's OK to Be White
Not what I said.
The article explains that trans people have the brain structure of the gender they identify with. Which proves my point that some people are born as trans men or trans women.
However, that doesn't mean everyone will experience gender dysphoria, which is what the article means. Brains also develop as people age, so not everyone may actually become cis or trans at the same point. You also took that quote out of context. Here is this full paragraph: "Overall the weight of these studies and others points strongly toward a biological basis for gender dysphoria. But given the variety of transgender people and the variation in the brains of men and women generally, it will be a long time, if ever, before a doctor can do a brain scan on a child and say, “Yes, this child is trans.”" In short, gender dysphoria is biological and trans men are generically connected to cis men on certain level. But because gender if fluid, it's not clear cut.

It says this: "Imaging studies and other research suggest that there is a biological basis for transgender identity."
It's speculative.
You have failed to prove your claim.
I didn't think you could prove that what you said was a fact, and it looks like my skepticism was justified.
Naturally, understand.
