How is transsexualism a good thing?

It is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, but a fact of life. Some people are born with genitals that do not match who they were born to be. So in that sense, being born with transsexualism is no better than having cancer or being born with some deformity. True-transsexualism is not a choice nor something anyone does, but it is something to get rid of so you can be fully what you believe you were meant to be.

So the good thing here is the corrective surgery to allow persons born with transsexualism to lead normal lives. Think of sex-reassignment like any other surgery to eliminate a deformity. Of course, some folks get the surgery in error, such as transgendered persons who would be better off without surgery thinking they have transsexualism when they don't. They may get the surgery to try to make others like and respect them or for other reasons than becoming whole. But nothing changes, and they find they didn't really dislike what they had before, and they feel stuck and more miserable than before.

Can someone be born a transsexual?

Yes. Most with transsexualism are born that way, they usually knew they had it before age 6, and they get the surgery to stop having transsexualism. The condition of transsexualism is not the same as the lifestyle of transgenderism. Transgender is mostly a choice and is a fairly recent concept. Transsexualism is a diagnosis while transgenderism is mostly a self-identity.


What is the belief of the Mormons about transsexualism?

"Mormons" (members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) believe that transsexualism is wrong, and that gender is a unique trait given to each of us by God. God does not make mistakes! While we hold this belief, we recognize and appreciate the freedom of belief and expression. We believe that we should love all people because God loves all people. Therefore, although we thing transsexualism is wrong, we strive to be kind and loving to those who are struggling with this issue in their lives.

Can bipolar disorder cause transsexualism or vice-versa?

Psychology uses terms such as 'bipolar disorder' and 'transsexualism' to refer to specific symptoms, not diseases or disorders (despite the word 'disorder' in 'bipolar disorder'). As a result of this, they cannot possibly cause each other. However, there could possibly be disease(s) that lead to both bipolar disorder as well as transsexualism. An example is post traumatic stress. Post traumatic stress could lead to either bipolar disorder or transsexualism or both. The truth is, psychology has not been sufficiently developed to answer this question accurately and with certainty. It is philosophy, and statistics, not yet a hard science.
