Aight I think we might be stuck in a semantics disagreement here. I'm using brain to mean the actual brain organ plus whatever other stuff is needed to support brain function - the endocrine system, nervous system, whatever. The physical systems of cognition in the body. i do not mean literally only the brain organ with no other systems.

I think I can relate this to being trans.

I was never at home in my body before and now I am. That's changed me a lot! My personality has shifted, my mannerisms, my habits, my attitude, my lifestyle, everything is so different! Changing my body changed my mind. A full body prosthetic would be the same.

We call them dead names for a reason.
