Maybe it's because all the older trannies detransitioned or 41%'d themselves hon.

I'm not autistic enough to fully understand all that, but it sounds like tranny brains are a jambled up mix of male and female characteristics. If anything it proves they aren't their desired sex, because if they werethey would have the proper chromosomes their brains would have entirely female/male structures. Makes sense seeing as troons display so many behaviors of their actual sex.
Maybe @Otterly will grace us with their presence and properly translate this for the rest of us. (If you can, I have no idea what your background is but I see you explaining medical stuff all the time.)

Almost all online trans spaces are by far dominated by people that are either very early into transition, haven't started yet, or questioning.
But then there's me, I'm almost 3 years into HRT, pass as cis, have no dysphoria anymore, basically by all means I've already transitioned fully to the extent I want to.
I guess... I just wish there were any trans spaces for people that already have all this "figured out", I'm honestly kinda tired of the same 3 or 4 questions coming up again and again
EDIT
I'm not old, I'm 22, so groups for old people are... not preferable

The American Psychiatric Association conducted a post mortem study on the brains of trans people and found that the stria terminalis. The main connector of the hypothalamus and amygdala was well known to be different sizes amongst cisgendered men and women. The stria terminalis in trans people corresponded to the gender we identify as. Not our Assigned Gender at Birth. Regardless of whether they received gender affirming care or not. So being trans might have some biological components but more research needs to be conducted to draw a better conclusion. The medical terminology tends be pretty awful and transphobic. So be aware of that before clicking the article.
Abstract of the study in question: (S | A)
The present review focuses on the brain structure of male-to-female (MtF) and female-to-male (FtM) homosexual transsexuals before and after cross-sex hormone treatment as shown by in vivo neuroimaging techniques. Cortical thickness and diffusion tensor imaging studies suggest that the brain of MtFs presents complex mixtures of masculine, feminine, and demasculinized regions, while FtMs show feminine, masculine, and defeminized regions. Consequently, the specific brain phenotypes proposed for MtFs and FtMs differ from those of both heterosexual males and females. These phenotypes have theoretical implications for brain intersexuality, asymmetry, and body perception in transsexuals as well as for Blanchard’s hypothesis on sexual orientation in homosexual MtFs. Falling within the aegis of the neurohormonal theory of sex differences, we hypothesize that cortical differences between homosexual MtFs and FtMs and male and female controls are due to differently timed cortical thinning in different regions for each group.
