because there us no rational reason to believe this individual is a woman

yes, but there are some thoughts you don't control. The brain is a giant probability machine which is also capable of thinking but the probability machine always go first.

It's not a new idea either, the entire philosophy of Stoicism is based around dichotomy of thought where thoughts happen and then we have the capacity to conciously react and correct ourselves. This also exists in Buddhism so we've been aware of this for a very long time and this discovery still holds true in contemporary sciences.
