Recently I was in a bus when suddenly it had to hit the breaks very hard from a considerable speed because of some kind of traffic incident. Since the bus was approaching a bus stop, there were several people standing up on the aisle. The breaking was so sudden and from such a speed that at least three or four people fell on the floor quite hard. Several women screamed quite loudly when this happened.
Only women screamed. I didn't hear anything from any male. Not a sound.
This is actually quite common, as anybody would know from experience. When somebody gets suddenly startled or scared, women tend to scream loudly, while men tend to either not make any sound or, at the very most, make a much quieter gasping sound. (In general, men tend to scream only if they experience sudden unexpected strong physical pain, but very rarely if they are merely startled.)
I'm convinced that this difference is evolutionary, and probably can be traced back hundreds of thousands, even some millions of years. My (layman's) hypothesis is that males tend to keep quiet when in sudden dangerous situations (real or perceived) because they used to be hunters and go to war, and it was a benefit to survival to keep as quiet as possible in dangerous situations, no matter how sudden and apparently dangerous the situation might be. That's why, on average, men tend to make at most a quiet gasping sound when suddenly startled or scared. In contrast, it was advantageous for females, who in general were not hunting nor on the front lines, but at home base, to gain the attention of others, and alert others, when in sudden danger. (If, for example, the home village was suddenly attacked by a wild beast or the enemy, or the woman was personally being suddenly attacked, it was advantageous to instinctively alert others and call for help, and to eg. have her male family or community members come to her rescue, and overall for all others to be aware that something dangerous is going on.)
They tell us that a "trans" person is a woman trapped in a man's body, or vice-versa. That the brain is that of a woman, but who was for some reason born in a male body, or the other way around.
Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps it might be the case sometimes. In the modern world, however, I suspect that at least some people are claiming themselves to be "trans" because it's fashionable, and to score oppression points.
I think that this "screaming test" could potentially be an indicator of how genuine such a person is being. If a man claims to really be a woman inside, does he instinctively scream loudly when suddenly startled? If a woman claims to be a man, does she not?
Of course it would be somewhat unethical to do this deliberately to a person, but if somebody has a friend, or knows somebody, who claims to be "trans", maybe he could just observe what happens, if at some point he or she gets suddenly startled. Does he scream like a little girl, clearly instinctively (rather than having "learned" to do so, which could be discerned by how long of a pause there's between the scare and the scream)? Does she not scream instinctively, instead at most gasping quietly?
While not definitive proof, at the very least I would consider it evidence that makes their claim more plausible. If a man claiming to be a woman clearly does not instinctively scream loudly when suddenly startled, that raises suspicions. (He might not be lying per se, but he might just be confused or deluded.)
