The precise cause of transgenderism is not known. Experts theorize that transgenderism is caused by a combination of Biology, genetics, and psychology.

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.

Is the anchor a symbol for transgenderism?

Not that I know of...a lot of people get anchor tattoos to show that they're "grounded" - that their life is stable and fulfilling. Others get them because they have a nautical profession, or to show that they are, or were, in the Navy. And still others get them because they look cool.


Transgender caused by relationship with father?

No. There are transgender persons who have (and had) wonderful 'traditional' relationships with their Fathers and Mothers, there are transgendered persons who have the other side of the spectrum and no relationship to their birth parents or adoptive parents at all. Transgenderism transcends race, creed, color, religion, economic status, marital status, family structure, intelligence, physical strength and design, date of birth. Gender and sexuality go much deeper than any of these "causes."

What do you mean by transsexual?

A transsexual person is someone who has the identity and nature of someone born with the opposite genitals. As opposed to those who practice recreational transgenderism, an actual transsexual person will likely to go on and get what they consider corrective surgery. The sufferers tend to think of it as a birth condition, and they hate the parts that cause society to rob them of an appropriate life.Do keep in mind that adult publications misuse the term transsexual to refer to a person who keeps, displays, and uses their original genitals while living as the other sex. That is a type of transgenderism and is not transsexualism as defined in early medical literature.


When and where did transgenderism and transsexualism first began?

Transgenderism and transsexualism have existed in various forms throughout history and across cultures, but the modern understanding of these identities began to take shape in the early 20th century. In the 1910s and 1920s, figures like Magnus Hirschfeld in Germany advocated for transgender rights and medical interventions. The term "transsexual" was coined in the mid-20th century, particularly popularized by psychiatrist Harry Benjamin in the 1950s. Different cultures have long recognized gender diversity, but the contemporary discourse emerged primarily in Western contexts during the 20th century.


Why do transsexuals exist?

Well, to put it simply: we exist because we exist. There is no "why", but we can explain how it happens. During the mother's pregnancy, something happens and causes hormonal imbalances and tells the brain to become one sex and the body to become the other. Gender Identity: brain's gender (inside). Physical sex: body's gender/sex (outside). When the two do not line up, as a condition of birth, you get a transsexual baby. Transgenderism, on the other hand is caused more by developmental issues, milder predisposing issues than born transsexualism, or personal choice in some cases. The idea that transsexualism refers to post-ops is a hurtful myth. A person is born with transsexualism and eliminates it with surgery. Nobody gets surgery to become a transsexual, but to stop having transsexualism. True-transsexualism has nothing to do with the lifestyle, choice, or third-gender state of transgenderism. People who are born in the wrong body are not the same as people who choose to dress up and live as what they are not.
