The brain in diapers. Can a brain be in the wrong body?

Abstract The aim of this paper is to critically analyze Antonio Guillamón Fernández's book Gender identity. A psychobiological approach (2021). In order to do so, the book is contextualized within the current "brain-centric" wave, and I also discuss the theoretical framework underlying the presentation of empirical material. From a constructivist point of view, I suggest that Guillamón assumes a monistic ontology and a reductionist approach that blocks the interpretation of this empirical material, which could be better understood by including psychosocial identification processes that, in turn, depend on specific historical and cultural phenomena.
