I think most people would agree we're all wired differentely on individual basis, and some traits are clearly associated with being male or female come from the brain itself. One documentary comes to mind is Marwencol https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391092/ where a transvestite man lost his memory after a violent attack and truma to head and the new him becomes disgusted at the idea of wearing women clothes!
Marwencol. It's about an alcoholic guy who in his late 40s gets beaten up by a gang of teens, get's brain damage. Has to relearn everything, essentially forming a second life. He also creates this entire miniature WWII town that he vividly details/photographs and creates elaborate stories. It is superbly done: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1391092/
