Absolutely. Although hallucination is and delusion are not specific criteria of PTSD, However, it is not uncommon for people with severe PTSD to either suffer psychotic symptoms or have co-morbid diagnoses such as psychotic disorders. There is a growing discussion that PTSD with psychosis should be a potential specifier in future DSM revisions and rewrites.
It's understandable when you consider the severity of symptoms that are involved in a diagnosis of PTSD. Cognitively trauma halts several processes and distorts them. Over time, if untreated or unrecognized, there are clear pathways for distortion to become delusion and hallucination. There is also the possibility that one of two other events occurred. First, if someone had a predisposition towards psychosis, trauma could bring it out. Second, if the trauma were in the formative years and repetitive (in the case of complex PTSD), a psychotic disorder could be formed over time.

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.
