There are transsexuals because there are people that don't feel right in the body they are currently in possession of. Transsexual folks have the correct gender (identity) and the wrong bodies. Your "sex" is what you have and your "gender" is who you are.
As for why one may be uncomfortable, it often is about the level of hormones in the womb. The reason genuine TSs are declining in favor of men who live as women by choice (TGs) is because the original causes of transsexualism are mostly gone. A major theory is that TSism was a symptom of DES ingestion. DES has been banned since 1970, making most transsexuals age 48 and older. Historically, TSism seems to have spiked during war, famine, and natural disasters, and here in the Western world, we've been free of most of that.
Transgenderism, in my humble opinion, is mostly caused due to trauma (such as from being a Survivor of child abuse or a broken/divorced home), Propaganda, and peer pressure, and is acquired after birth.

Can transsexual persons have children?
.
Is that true that most transgender people are gay?
Note: Please do not merge this question with similar questions using the word "transsexual." Transsexual persons are born with their condition and seek to eliminate it. They don't choose to become transsexual. Many transsexual persons find being lumped with transgendered persons to be offensive, and some even oppose the transgender and/or LGBT Communities.This is difficult to answer, but it seems the answer is no. A transgendered person is either someone who chose to vary their gender expression or who will never get surgery. For many, transgenderism is only recreational. No study has been done on this.
Do transsexual men have a period?
Whether transsexual men (female-to-male) have periods depends on if they are taking hormones or have had surgery. If they are taking testosterone, they won't menstruate. If they have had surgery, they certainly won't menstruate.If you are misusing the term "transsexual men" to refer to male-to-female transsexual persons, no, transsexual women won't ever menstruate, since they were born lacking ovaries and a uterus.
Can transsexuals have normal sexual urges?
Yes, depending on the person. Transsexual people, like society at large, tend to have the full range of sexual urges. While transsexual persons are more likely than the general public to have no interest at all, many do have a more typical range of sexual drive and urges. Unlike public perception, transsexual persons are no more likely to be oversexed or promiscuous than most other people.Even after surgery, transsexual women can usually reach orgasm. Transsexual men are not as lucky in that regard, but their surgery has come a long ways.
How do you know if a guy likes a transsexual?
You would ask him. If you were born with transsexualism, then try to avoid sex until after you get the corrective surgery. Then just date men who like women. If you want to keep your male parts, then that would make you transgendered, not transsexual. There are men who like an unrelated group of persons known as transgenders, and men who say they want transsexual women often want non-op transgendered persons instead. Such persons tend to keep their male parts for life. The main men who date them are men also pretending to be women and gay men in denial.
What is transsexual with dog?
This is difficult to answer not knowing the context. If you read it in a local personals page, it likely means the person has transsexualism and owns a dog. When the term transsexual is used correctly, it refers to a person who was born with transsexualism and who will eventually have surgery. However, pornographers use the term transsexual to refer to crossdressed men (or non-op, male-born transgender individuals, and in rare cases, actual pre-op TS persons who allow themselves to be exploited in such a manner for surgery money), who model things being done with their genitals. Most are not transsexual persons but give actual transsexual persons who need surgery and the chance to live as normal women a bad name. So if you are asking in the context of such hard core pornography, I am not sure you really want to know, since the term "with" might imply sex. So in the context of hard core porn, with the term transsexual misused, specifying they are "with" an animal may suggest illegal sex between the two.
Looking for info on a MTV show round 1988 90 Called something like teen talk one of the persons interviewed was a teen transsexual you are looking for more information on the show and or that episode?
I'd look up "MTV TEEN TALK TRANSSEXUAL TEEN" on youtube.
Does it make you transsexual if you get a sex-reassignment surgery?
This depends on semantics and opinions. Technically, you wouldn't be a transsexual person anymore if you had sex-reassignment, since that is the goal, to eliminate transsexualism and live in a way that is acceptable to oneself and society. Think of it this way, would you be a cancer patient if you had surgery to completely remove the cancer?Some people are confused on this. They think a transsexual person is a transgender person who has had surgery. But consider this. Maybe transsexual persons and transgender persons are of a different kind, where TS persons have a conflict with their body, while non-op TG types have a conflict with society. So the transsexual person claims to be born with transsexualism and gets the surgery and considers themselves "cured." They get surgery to eliminate the discrepancy between the mind or nature and the body, and thus eliminate the conflict. Non-op transgender types either started without a conflict, or their conflict was of another kind, like a conflict with society rather than their own body.
Why are you attracted to transsexuals?
A common reason why some people think they are attracted to transsexual persons is because they don't know what the term means. Transsexualism is when someone hates both the genitals they have and the life associated with them, and feels compelled to live as the other sex and get surgery to remove the unwanted parts and to eliminate their transsexualism. Transsexualism is something to overcome (with hormones and surgery), not something to strive for. The people displayed in pornographic magazines with their original genitals exposed do not have the condition of transsexualism, but are either gay men who choose to crossdress, or they have recreational transgenderism. So some who think they are attracted to transsexual persons are really attracted to those who choose recreational transgender lifestyles. Those attracted to such persons are likely gay or bisexual and in denial.If someone is attracted to actual transsexual persons and are willing to wait until they get their corrective surgery, then there are a few possibilities. They may admire the person's courage and tenacity. Or they ignore the transsexual part altogether and see the actual person; the spirit that resides within.
Can transsexual persons marry?
For the most part, yes. They can certainly marry before surgery. After surgery, they can marry someone opposite their transitioned sex in a great deal of the world, though not in every state in the US. Transsexual women are more likely to be able to marry where gay marriage is not legal. It seems as LGBT people get rights, actual transsexual persons who are not transgendered nor a part of the LGBT lose theirs. To take a TS woman's mainstream rights and then force her to settle for a cheaper version as LGBT rights is neither ethical nor fair.
How can you get people to stop shortening transgender and transsexual to the word trans and lumping them together?
You can't stop people from shortening transgender and transsexual into trans. There's no reason to do this either, transgender and transsexual people are part of the same community and face the same issues.
What is the slang-identity-label for a gynephilic MtF transsexual or androphilic FtM transsexual?
Those terms are not slang, but jargon and pseudoscience. The terms are autogynephilic and androphilic. In terms of MtF transsexual persons an autogynephile is attracted to the "woman within." They are likely to be "lesbian" after transition, and the motives seem to be fetishistic in nature. Blanchard and Bailey would consider asexual transsexual women to be autogynephiles as well. An androphile would be the "classical" transsexual woman who is attracted to males and have known early in life they had transsexualism. I imagine you would reverse the labels for FtM, making them gynephilia (motivated by an attraction to women) and autoandrophilia (motivated by being one's own ideal of a man).
