he wants to be a woman so bad..it's really awkward and embarrassing.
If you haven't seen the movie Bronson then I strongly encourage you. It's about Britians most famous/dangerous criminal, people are still wondering whether he is sociopathic or has dissociate PD. In response to your question though, If these brain scans are showing active thermal imaging in those areas in the brain then they are, I repeat they are feeling empathetic emotion. I believe the only difference thought is that these sociopathic people are able to think around these emotions even if they are experiencing them, that's what I would believe.
