Best Answer

Yes. Transsexualism is a physical disorder caused by hormone imbalances in the womb during the mother's pregnancy. It is not the same as being transgendered. A baby is born with a brain of one gender, and a body of the other sex.

To clarify:

Physical sex is what body someone has.

Gender Identity is a person's gender; their brain's sex and who they are as a person. This is inside. Transsexual people's gender identity is different from their physical sex, and this causes problems, as you may know.

Sexual Orientation is your choice of partner and is directly related to the body's sex.

Transgender is the umbrella term for all gender-nonconforming people, be it bigender, non-gender, genderqueer, two-spirit -- just, anyone who doesn't identify strictly with either male or female. However, having transsexualism does not mean you are a gender-nonconforming person. The word transsexual is reserved for those who identify opposite of their bodies and who will eventually change their bodies to become gender-conforming. A transsexual person only identifies with ONE gender.

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.
