Interesting. I found this:

In their letter to UCLA, Perez and Cesena strongly objected to the idea that such brain imaging -- capturing the neurological response of gender dysphoria -- could provide any scientific data that could "help" trans people in the future.
"It is suggestive of a search for medical 'cure,' which can open the door for more gatekeeping and restrictive policies and practices in relation to access to gender-affirming care," the letter stated.
Feusner and Savic-Berglund, however, explained that "by demonstrating that body-self incongruence was linked to brain structure and function, we aimed to help provide a biological basis and increase empathy for the life stories of transgender individuals. From the beginning, the aim was to help increase acceptance of transgender individuals."
