Meta analysis confirms link between autism and gender dysphoria (aka gender identity disorder or "transgenderism"):

"The findings of the current literature review and meta-analyses suggest that there is (a) a positive relationship between ASD traits and GD/GI feelings among people from the general population, (b) an increased prevalence of GD/GI in the autistic population, and (c) an increased prevalence of ASD diagnoses and ASD traits in the GD/GI population. Overall, these fndings suggest the existence of a link between ASD and GD/GI"

A study involving nearly one million adolescents across 78 countries found that boys tend to be happier than girls, and, paradoxically, this gender gap in happiness is widest in societies that have the strongest commitment to gender equality.

Many specific brain structures and characteristics have heritability of 80% or more (e.g., the heritability of brain size is greater than 80%). This is significant because studies, including massive UK Biobank studies, find brain size correlating with IQ.

Some “common factors” in cognition, such those mediating certain executive functions, have been found to be “nearly entirely genetic in origin” — as much as 99% heritable. These traits can interact with and/or underlie general intelligence (“g”).
